CACI Facials Malton
CACI Facials near Malton
CACI Ltd is the world leader on electrical equipment for face and body that uses Microcurrent to lift and tone muscles. CACI stands for Computer Aided Cosmetic Instrument and was originally developed by Dr Thomas Wing in USA who used it to help patients who had Bell’s Palsy – this is where one side of the face droops, due to issues with the 7th Cranial Nerve. It is often temporary, but distressing, nonetheless. He used microcurrent to help lift the affected side. Realising there were further uses for the machine, he gave the UK distribution to a British company in 1992.
Who are CACI?
The CACI HQ is in Borehamwood in Hertfordshire and all development, training and sales are led from there. Whilst they are not the only distributors of microcurrent equipment, they are certainly the most well-known and not only became the worldwide distributor of CACI equipment and in 1998 purchased all the intellectual property rights from Dr Wing.
What does a CACI facial do?
Basically, CACI Facials near Malton are non-surgical facelifts. It stimulates the muscles to lift and hold in the lifted position. As the facial stimulates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the energy needed for our cells to function, the general health of the cell is stimulated too, so you can see an improvement in other conditions such as pigmentation (darkened skin spots) as well as lifting the muscle, but these are a beneficial by-product rather than CACI’s main purpose. It is sub-sensory, i.e. there is little or no sensation when the treatment is being performed. The probes lifting the muscles are placed in specific places and the hold is meant to be firm but not painful. You can experience a metallic taste in the mouth.
The moves are completed twice across the area being worked and are followed by serum penetration, hydration and skin healing routines using different aspects of the CACI machine. CACI can also perform a gentle exfoliation.

Skin Treatment First Step – Skin Consultation
The first and most crucial step to getting the most out of any skin treatment clinic services is to have an in-depth skin consultation with an experienced practitioner. At The Ginger Tree Holistic Skin Clinic, this takes an hour and is very detailed.
The skin, the body’s largest organ, reflects what is happening inside the body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
By looking at the skin through this holistic lens and using non-invasive treatment methods, we can age naturally, always looking like our authentic and best selves. Vibrant women with a positive attitude to ageing.
What Happens in the Skin Consultation?
It’s a 4-step process
1. We complete the skin review form together, examine history and current skin concerns, and analyse our current skin routine, determining what’s working and what’s not.
2. Use the Observ 520 machine to look at the underneath of your skin to help signpost us to underlying factors that need to be considered.
3. Perform a gentle cleanse and analyse the skin through a magnifying light. Apply a simple routine, including SPF, for your journey home.
4. Suggest and agree on any next steps.
What Does the Word Holistic Mean?
In this video, Kathy Scott of Ginger Tree Holistic Skin Clinic and Laura Jane Stonehouse of Queen Bee Beautiful discuss what it means to be Holistic within their businesses and what the word means now, particularly as it’s used in so many ways. Has it become confusing to the public? How does truly being holistic manifest itself in treatments and the client experience? Do we need to re-educate ourselves and the public about its true meaning?
Kathy has been leading a number of these discussions with a variety of practitioners on IG Live. To catch up with these, follow her on @gingertreebeauty to hear more.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY!
Wendy rated me 5 out of 5!
"Wow, what a facial. A bit of CACI then the warm probe machine followed by the bright light machine and finally some magic serum, I can really see the difference. What I love about Kathy’s facial is they are specially tailored to suit your skin, not a one size fits all."
Katherine rated me 5 out of 5!
"Kathy gave me a personal and bespoke treatment and a serum to take away, addressing my recent health issues which had affected my face. My skin looked so improved and I felt very relaxed. The foot massage while I had LED light therapy treatment was amazing.."
Rosie rated me 5 out of 5!
"To be honest the treatments received are beyond words and expectations. The absolute best I’ve ever experienced and I’ve had many. I’ve recommended to friends, they/you’re missing out if you don’t take a visit. The best ever - can’t say enough positive about it from start to finish . I’m so glad I found you."
Wendy rated me 5 out of 5!
"Reflexology and a massage session with Kathy post hip replacement and wow, what a result! Best night's sleep since the op and the swelling and bruising has reduced quite a bit. Also, it was a wonderful, relaxing treatment too. Completely chuffed! Three cheers for Kathy."
Edelle rated me 5 out of 5!
"I recently experienced an Environ 2 facial treatment, and I have to say it exceeded all my expectations! From start to finish, the entire process was both relaxing and incredibly effective. Kathy is incredibly knowledgeable and I always know she’ll do what is best for my skin, adapting products and treatment to suit.
The treatment began with a deep cleanse, followed by gentle exfoliation that left my skin feeling instantly refreshed. But what truly sets this facial apart is the use of Environ’s Ionzyme DF technology, which helps deliver essential vitamins and active ingredients deep into the skin. The combination of low-frequency sonophoresis and pulsed iontophoresis made a noticeable difference, I could actually feel the products penetrating, working their magic from within.
By the end of the session, my skin was glowing, hydrated, and noticeably firmer. Fine lines appeared softened, and there was an overall brightness that made my complexion look more youthful and rejuvenated. If you’re looking for a results-driven facial that combines relaxation with serious skin benefits, I highly recommend trying the Environ 2 treatment. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to improve hydration, boost collagen, and achieve that fresh, radiant glow!"
Homecare Post Consultation and Treatment
Homecare after your CACI facial near Malton is not an excuse to sell products; it is a continuation of any in-clinic skin treatment. Even if you had a facial every month, that’s 12 facials, say an hour each = 12 hours. What are you doing with your skin the rest of the time? That time represents a huge opportunity to continue improving your skin. A practical, supportive, enjoyable homecare routine is all part of you saying yes to self-care.
Your skin consultation advises us on what you need. Perhaps at first, it’s just a few key products to get you going such as cleanser, moisturiser and SPF, then slowly as the skin improves, we gradually introduce targeted serums, hydration and oil balancers to suit your needs.
Due to the active and specialist nature of the brands I use, many of them don’t allow the sale of their products without proof of a skin consultation. This means you will be protected from buying the wrong things for your skin, saving you time, money and frustration.

Is CACI facial painful?
There should be no pain, a slight sensation or metal taste is sometimes experienced, and as everyone’s tolerance is different you should give feedback to your therapist if they are squeezing the probes too hard on the muscle being worked.
How long does a CACI face lift last?
If you were to have CACI as one off, say for a party or special event, then the result will last 3 days. However, if you have the full introductory course of 10 treatments in a maximum of 5 weeks, then the ongoing maintenance is 4-8 weeks depending on the skin.
So what factors affect the length of time between maintenance treatments?
- The state of the skin and muscles – if there is considerable premature ageing or the skin has been neglected in the past, then the result will needed to be topped up sooner, say 4 weeks, but as time goes on and things improve, particularly with other supportive treatments and a good home regime, then the maintenance can move to being 5,6, weeks or up to 8.
- If you are 27-30 years of age on average, and are using CACI as a preventative, then every 8 weeks is all that’s required.
- To get the most from your CACI course, it is far better to tackle any issues that would compromise your CACI results first – e.g. I’d never do CACI on a red, irritated skin where the barrier functions are poor. I’d help you get these sorted first through gentle in-clinic healing treatments such as the Dermaviduals Glow Treatment or Dermalux LED.

Does CACI lift jowls?
Does a CACI facial work for hooded eyes?
Yes, CACI can help hooded eyes, but we do need to be realistic, if in my opinion the droop is too severe, then I would be suggesting other alternatives, possibly surgery and offering you contacts to explore this option.
CACI is wonderful for general ageing concerns and there is a specific eye treatment called The Eye Revive, which incorporates the famous CACI muscle lifting with lymphatic drainage and hydration.

How do I extend the results of my treatment?
With the right active ingredients, you can extend the life of your treatment and continue their beneficial results. For best results it’s important that the product type, brand and usage is chose with care to ensure it’s right for your skin condition, lifestyle, and desired result. A client of mine was advised by her friend to use a retinol in her skin routine. This client’s skin is not suited now to any kind of rejuvenation, her barrier functions are disturbed. Even a very mild form of Vitamin A aggravates her skin.
So, we must tread slowly and carefully to allow her skin to rebuild, including supporting her skin from the inside through supplementation.
