What is a CACI facial?
A microcurrent treatment that tones the muscles holding up the cheeks, jawline and brows, so the face looks firmer and lifted.
CACI is a British brand of non-surgical facial equipment. Microcurrent is a very low electrical current, close to the body's own, passed through two small probes along the facial muscles, and it supports collagen in the skin. Elixir uses the CACI Quantum system.

One session, or a course
before an event

A visible lift that lasts a short time, for a wedding, a trip or a photograph.
for a lasting result
Course of ten
The muscles respond to repeated toning the way they do to exercise, so the lift builds with each session. An occasional top-up keeps it.
Who should not have a CACI facial?
Microcurrent is not suitable for people with a pacemaker, epilepsy, metal implants or plates in the face, or active skin infections, or during pregnancy.
Tell the therapist about recent fillers or Botox; the usual advice is to wait a few weeks after injections before microcurrent.
Questions, answered
Does a CACI facial hurt?
No. A CACI facial feels like a light tingle or a mild pulse under the probes. Some people notice a faint metallic taste when the probes work near the mouth, which passes straight away.
How long until I see results from CACI?
Many people see a lift and brighter skin after the first session. The effect becomes firmer and longer lasting over a course of regular sessions.
Can I combine a CACI facial in Amman with other treatments?
Yes. CACI pairs well with a hydrating facial or microdermabrasion. Ask the therapist to plan the order, since some treatments are best kept on separate days.
Is CACI the same as the CACI body consultation?
No. The complimentary body consultation covers body shaping and slimming. CACI Quantum face lifting works on the face only.
