CACI: Our New BFF

Once your skin has been cleansed of all impurities whilst simultaneously receiving a light facial massage that will lull anyone into a dreamy sleep, it all begins with Facial Toning, a step designed to give your face back its bone structure instantly. Two treatment probes that emit electrical impulses are slowly guided down your face and massaged against targeted areas of your skin to firm and tone any of those sagging facial muscles. We had been told about the immediate effect of the Facial Toning, and although we sensed a dramatic tightening sensation on the right side of our face, we were convinced it was a myth. However, after a quick glance in the mirror, we couldn't have gotten back on that bed faster if we tried!

Once our facial muscles had been sufficiently toned, CACI worked her magic on our skin (it is a facial after all). By using a light therapy consisting of wavelengths of coloured light, any break outs or blemishes are eliminated quite literally at the push of a button. The light has a bio-stimulatory and antibacterial healing effect on skin cells.

Next comes the wrinkle comb. Depending on the level of the treatment, the wrinkle comb emits different quantities of micro amps. Ideally for better and longer lasting results (up to 15 years) the treatment should be done in sessions spanning up to 3-4 weeks, moving from a low frequency of micro amps to a higher frequency so as to improve the elasticity of muscles. As we underwent what Cindy calls the 'Party Booster', a one-time treatment used by many celebrities pre-red carpet appearances, we were zapped with a medium strength of 320 micro amps, creating a very slight prickling sensation.

Last but not least comes the Hydro Mask for skin hydration. Packed with hyaluronic acid and collagen serum, the translucent gel face mask soothes and replenishes. You may look like a human jellyfish for a while, but it's most definitely worth it as your skin becomes as absorbent as a sponge. So as to ensure total intake, electrical rollers are run over your face allowing those lines and wrinkles to be softened and the dark circles under your eyes to be eliminated, creating a brilliant complexion. The best part about it? You can even buy it for home use.

Our quick lunchtime facelift had our skin glowing, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better the following day it was smoother than a baby's bottom. Whether for targeting wrinkles or for preventative measures, CACI will be a faithful friend to you no matter your age, delivering everything from quick 'Party Pouts' to 'Jaw Lifts'. In the congested and polluted streets of Cairo, this detoxing facial treatment isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity and we certainly can't wait to see CACI again!
