MICRO CURRENT FACIAL TREATMENT OR BODY TREATMENT

CACI MICRO-MODE uses a tiny micro current, which helps to tone, lift and re-educate the muscles back to their original position.The face has over thirty muscles that lie directly below, and are connected to, the skin's surface. When muscles are stimulated they either contract (shorten) or expand (lengthen). It is the direction of the stimulus that determines which reaction takes place and this will be dictated by the positioning of the probes over the muscles.

In either case, proper firmness is re-established through the non-surgical procedure by correcting the sagging muscle, which in turn corrects the sag of the skin. The treatment also stimulates blood circulation, which helps improve muscle tone and counteract dryness.

Micro-mode works in harmony with the body’s own bio-electrical field. The body works from electrical impulses and the impulses provided by Micro-mode are very similar, therefore the current is virtually sub-sensory. The client feels very little if anything at all. There is no visible muscle contraction, so therefore skin and muscle tissue respond very quickly to this type of stimulation.

Treatments, on Micro-mode are generally run as a course of treatments, averaging between 10 and 15 treatments. Some clients will need more and some clients will require less; this will depend on the client’s skin tissue and their muscle tone. It will not depend on the client’s age! On completion of one course another course isn’t necessary, providing that the client returns for a booster / maintenance treatment, which on average is once a month or between 4 – 6 weeks.

BENEFITS OF MICRO CURRENT

INCREASES ADENOSINE TRI PHOSPHATE LEVELS (A.T.P.) by up to 500%
This is a chemical reaction in the body, which provides muscle and body energy, giving a feeling of well being.

INCREASES FIBROBLASTIC ACTIVITY by up to 60%
Fibroblast cells are responsible for producing collagen in the skin. As we age, the collagen levels decrease, showing more signs of ageing. By increasing fibroblastic activity, we can soften lines and rehydrate the skin . This allows the skin to become more moisture retentive, leaving a wonderful glow.

INCREASES PROTEIN SYNTHESIS by up to 73%
Muscles are largely made up of protein By increasing protein synthesis, the muscle becomes more ‘plumped up’ and rejuvenated. Elastin is also another form of protein and again the production of it is increased, leaving the skin’s appearance refined and improved with softened lines and wrinkles.

INCREASES MEMBRANE TRANSPORT (CELL PERMEABILITY) by up to 30-40%
When the body ages, cells become less permeable so various functions in the body slow down. Increasing the cell permeability is very successful for treating cellulite. The skin is more moisture retentive and is also rehydrated.

In simple terms, this will then help to absorb more nutrients, water and oxygenated blood, in order to excrete more toxins, fluid retention, and re-oxygenate.

IT IS VIRTUALLY SUBSENSORY
Due to the low current used, the client feels very little if anything at all.

IT HAS BENEFICIAL HEALING EFFECTS
It helps to heal scars and blemishes and to give a wonderful glow on the skin.

THERE IS NO VISIBLE MUSCLE CONTRACTION
Unlike a faradic type of current, there is no stimulation of motor points and subsequent muscle contraction. Therefore, the sensation of the treatment is very comfortable and relaxing.

IT CAN BE USED AROUND THE EYE AREA
With many electrical treatments, it is not possible to work close to the eye area.
This is certainly an area which bothers most of us , therefore a big advantage with the CACI MICRO-MODE is that we are able to work intensively around the eyes. This is because of the low current and the fact that there is no muscle contraction.
