ORBITAL MICRODERMABRASION TECHNOLOGY

This new exfoliation technology uses a hand piece with an abrasive tip that rotates at different speeds on an elliptical axis. A selection of single use, disposable abrasive treatment tips coated with a layer of silicon carbide are used to either superficially or deeply exfoliate the epidermis. This unique crystal free and vacuum free method of microdermabrasion overcomes the blockage, maintenance and downtime issues commonly associated with traditional microdermabrasion systems. The hand piece also features the healing action of LED light therapy, which can be used simultaneously with orbital microdermabrasion or with a special massage head to stimulate the connective tissue, which improves circulation and lymph drainage.

ORBITALMICRODERMABRASION BENEFITS

Crystal free - no inhalation or irritation Vacuum free - no dragging or pulling of the skin Blockage free Disposable treatment tips for maximum hygiene Precision abrasion control Choice of 4 power levels A selection of 3 grades of abrasive tip

MICROCURRENT

Originally developed for treating facial palsy, micro current therapy is now widely used as an aesthetic anti-ageing treatment. True micro current uses a current with an intensity of less than one millionth of an amp (<1mA). A higher intensity current will cause contractions of the facial muscles which can worsen lines and wrinkles, whereas micro current stimulation does not contract muscles, but instead works by a process called muscle re-education to achieve results. Due to its dramatic lifting and toning effect, the CACI micro current treatment has become known as the “Non-Surgical Face Lift”.

WRINKLE COMB (LED LIGHT THERAPY)

The system’s wrinkle comb combines LED photo stimulation with high frequency micro current. The synergy of these two technologies plumps out and softens lines, wrinkles and stretch marks, thereby providing a non-invasive, needle free alternative to collagen injections and other dermal fillers. The system has the option to select Red or Blue LED photo stimulation or an alternating pulsed LED mode that is particularly effective at treating acne and skin blemishes.

HYDRATONE

Hydra tone combines active micro current rollers with Hydro Mask, a unique, electrically conductive silicon gel mask that has been infused with powerful hydrating

properties. The rollers gently massage the face causing the mask to become electrically charged so that the whole face is bathed with rejuvenating energy. The current delivered by the rollers recharges and replenishes the bio-electrical energy within the facial muscles, restoring tone and firmness. The energy generated also drives the hydrating actives contained within the gel mask deep into the skin tissue. The gel mask has a dramatic softening action helping to smooth lines and wrinkles. The Hydratone procedure takes just 10 minutes to perform yet provides immediate and intensive skin hydration and face firming.

TREATMENTFacial Toning

As we grow older our facial muscles naturally start to lose tone and elasticity. Genetics, lifestyle, weight fluctuation and environmental factors can all influence the rate and degree to which our muscles will lose their tone as we all know first impressions count and a sagging face can make you look tired, miserable and older than your years. Following over 20 years of research and development CACI International can now offer a non-surgical solution to combat loss of muscle tone using CACI micro current facial toning therapy.Micro current therapy was originally developed as a medical application to treat facial palsy and muscle tone was restored by applying tiny micro-current electrical impulses to the affected muscles.Today this proven technology is now available in thousands of aesthetic clinics as a painless cosmetic treatment and is commonly referred to as “facial toning” or “the non-surgical face lift”.During each 1 hour treatment session all 32 facial muscles are gently manipulated and re-educated by a trained therapist using a series of precise movements. Soft cotton tipped wands are used on the face to transmit the micro-current energy to the facial muscles to restore tone and elasticity.Results are visible after the very first treatment but a course of twelve treatments is generally recommended.After a course of CACI facial toning treatments facial contours will look lifted and toned.A monthly top up treatment is recommended to maintain results.

Lines/Wrinkles

Facial wrinkles are caused by a number of factors:Dynamic lines These are wrinkles that are caused by contraction of the muscles of facial expression. Repeated compression of the skin along these lines breaks down the collagen fibres which support the skin to form specific lines and wrinkles. Initially, these wrinkles can only be seen when the muscles contract e.g when you smile/frown, however, as the skin becomes progressively creased, the lines may often appear at rest.

Loss of facial volume

When we are younger, our face is more plump and full as time passes, this volume is lost. Fat around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead are depleted. This loss of volume leads to some bagginess of skin and the formation of wrinkles. Loss of facial volume also results in an older, more gaunt appearance, as is often seen with dramatic weight loss. Micro current Non-surgical facial toning can help to replace this lost volume - improving both wrinkles and the overall youthfulness of the face.

Gravity The inescapable pull of gravity draws the skin downwards on the face. This leads to drooping of the cheeks and formation of nasolabial lines (the lines from the corners of the mouth to the nose) and jowls, drooping of the eye skin and formation of upper and lower lid laxity and wrinkles.

Sleep lines These are caused by the compression of the skin from contact of the pillow to the face when sleeping. Their location is determined by the underlying attachments of the muscles of the face. Pillow contact puts pressure on these attachments and causes sleep lines. Sleep lines can often be found on the forehead, around the eyes, cheeks and upper lip, and are not created by muscle contraction.

Other External Factors Sun damage, smoking and poor diet can also cause a thinning of the skin, de-hydration and a breakdown of collagen leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.Skin re-surfacing technologies like Microdermabrasion, and the ultrasonic peel can help to reduce the signs of premature lines and wrinkles by stimulating the production of new collagen. Hydrating treatments like Hydratone can help to re-hydrate the skin and plump out deep lines and wrinkles

Eye Bags

Eye bags and dark circles around the eyes are commonly a genetic condition that often will worsen with age. Lack of sleep, poor diet and low water intake will certainly make the condition worse. However, there are other contributory factors that may also cause eye bags and dark circles. If there is a lack of oxygen getting to the skin tissue then this may lead to discolouration around the eyes. Puffiness around the eye area can also be caused by fluid retention often as the result of dehydration.Technologies like Hydratone will hydrate and oxygenate the tissue helping to alleviate these conditions. The cooling action of the Hydratone mask will also help to constrict

the capillaries around the eye area resulting in the reduction of the appearance of dark circles.Dark circles are likely to become more noticeable and permanent with age. This is because as people get older, skin loses collagen and becomes thinner and more translucent. Bad circulation and a sluggish metabolism will cause dark circles and little pockets of fat to form. Stimulatory treatments using micro current or vacuum technology will help to stimulation blood flow and assist in breaking down fatty deposits. Sometimes, a chronic sinus condition or a nasal allergy can also result in under-eye puffiness. The stimulatory action of micro current and vacuum therapies can assist in unblocking and breaking down sinus congestion.

Skin Hydration

Sun damage, poor diet and an unsatisfactory skin care regimen can lead to dry, flakey, dehydrated skin. Dry skin can lead to premature ageing, the breakdown of collagen and the formation of lines and wrinkles. The skin will take on a dull, greyish and devitalized appearance. As the skin tries to compensate for dryness the sebaceous (oil producing) glands will try to lubricate the skin and in so doing pores may become clogged and black heads and acne pustules may form.In short, good skin hydration is essential in order to maintain a healthy and youthful complexion.The Hydratone facial treatment uses a moisture infused gel mask to bathe the skin with intensive hydrating actives. De-hydrated and sun damaged skin is immediately quenched by the hydrating properties of the mask. The Hydratone mask also has a softening action on the skin tissue that helps to plump out and smooth lines and wrinkles.

Acne/Blemishes

All acne is a disorder of the sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands produce a substance called sebum, which is responsible for keeping the skin moisturized. During adolescence sebaceous glands enlarge and produce more sebum under the influence of hormones, also called androgens. After about age 20, sebum production begins to decrease.Problems arise when the sebum becomes trapped in the skin and hair follicles. The sebum is produced but gets trapped on the way out, and the cells that are normally sloughed off become "sticky", plugging up the follicle. The process of obstructing

follicles is called comedogenesis. It causes some follicles to form a type of acne called comedones, also known as blackheads and whiteheads.

Treatment methods that slough off the dead skin cells like Microdermabrasion and an Ultrasonic Peel can prevent sebum from becoming trapped in the follicles. These exfoliation methods also help to unblock obstructed follicles by removing the comedones. Skin exfoliation technology is incorporated in the following treatment systems Chroma Clear, Ultimate, Futur-Tec, and Ultra

A bacteria, known as Propionibacterium acnes, is a normal inhabitant of the skin. It uses sebum as a nutrient for growth, therefore increases in follicles during puberty. People with acne have more Propionibacterium acnes in their follicles than people without acne. The presence of bacteria attracts white blood cells to the follicle. This process causes an inflammatory response seen as papules (red bumps), pustules, and nodules. The bacteria also cause the formation of free fatty acids, which are irritants, increasing the inflammatory process in the follicle. The American Academy of Dermatology has reported that blue LED Light Therapy can be used to destroy the bacteria that produces the inflammation associated with propionbacterium acnes.

Other studies have shown that a combination of Red and Blue light LED therapy produced quicker results for the treatment of acne than the application of blue light alone.

Red and Blue LED Light Therapy technology is incorporated in the following treatment systems : Futur-Tec, Ultra, Ultimate, Chroma Clear.

Neck

One of the biggest skin care challenges is the neck and décolleté area. Most women completely ignore and neglect this delicate area in their daily skin care routine. It will most likely never see any moisturizer or an exfoliating scrub. But any close-up look will reveal the damages of such neglect: the neck and décolleté area easily will show a women’s age if it is dry and wrinkled.Lack of a proper skin care routine and sun overexposure on the neck and décolleté result in dryness and a lack of elasticity. This premature aging process is also affected by

the use of harsh alkaline products such as soaps, which will contribute to excessive moisture loss and sensitivities.The neck muscle (Platysma) is not connected to a bone structure and is prone to lose its elasticity. It also contains very little fatty tissue and has less sebaceous glands than on the face. The lack of sebaceous glands makes this area very prone to dryness and wrinkle formation.The Hydratone treatment uses a moisture infused gel mask to bathe the skin with intensive hydrating actives. De-hydrated skin is immediately quenched by the hydrating properties of the mask. The Hydratone mask also has a softening action on the skin tissue that helps to plump out and smooth lines and wrinkles. Hydratone technology is incorporated in the following treatment systems: Classic, Quantum, Ultra, Ultimate.
