Question 

“I’ve just seen you offer CACI treatment — is this the same as Radio Frequency? I wanted to tighten my lower face and lip lines. Is this the best treatment?” - Zoe 

Charlotte’s Reply:

Hi Zoe,
Thank you so much for your enquiry.

CACI and Radio Frequency are both amazing treatments for tightening and lifting the skin, but they work in slightly different ways. 

✨ CACI uses a microcurrent to lift and tone the facial muscles, think of it like a gym workout for your face! It’s brilliant for sculpting the jawline, lifting the cheeks, and softening lines, especially around the mouth and eyes.

✨ Radio Frequency (RF), on the other hand, works by heating the lower layers of your skin to stimulate collagen production. It’s a little powerhouse for firming and tightening, especially when skin starts to feel a bit looser in areas like the lower face, jowls, and neck.

As you’re looking to focus on your lower face and lip lines, and because we offer both treatments here at Charisma, we can even combine them for an even bigger result!

The best way to know what will give you the results you’re after is to come in for your first treatment which includes a full consultation so we can assess your skin and chat through your goals. Let’s start with a CACI first, and it could be that we build a blend of both just for you. Everything is tailored to you.

Let me know if you’d like me to check availability, I’d love to help you feel amazing in your skin.

Much love,

CACI vs Radio Frequency: Can They Work Together?

So what’s the difference?

CACI is all about muscle re-education. It uses microcurrent to lift, tone, and retrain the muscles of your face, giving that beautiful sculpted lift.  It also softens the appearance of fine lines, especially around the mouth and jawline. It’s ideal if your skin starting to lose definition.

Radio Frequency, by contrast, focuses differently. It stimulates your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production by gently heating the dermal layers. This helps to firm up laxity, tighten sagging areas (like jowls or the neck), and plump out wrinkles.

Why we love them in synergy

 What makes these two treatments magical is how they complement each other. One works on the muscles, and the other works on the skin’s structure. Together, they form the perfect partnership, delivering a visibly tighter, smoother, more lifted appearance over time. This synergy is especially effective for clients who want natural-looking results without the need for injectables. 

Building your bespoke skin journey

At our award-winning Norwich beauty salon, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all facials. Every client receives a bespoke treatment plan, built around your skin goals, lifestyle, and current skin health.

We’ll typically recommend a course of treatments, often 10 sessions over 5 weeks, to get the very best results. 

Why? Because consistency is where the transformation happens. Just like going to the gym, skin lifting works best when done regularly and progressively.

And after your course? We’ll move into maintenance mode with a maintenance treatment every 4 to 6 weeks, to keep your results looking fresh and your skin supported long-term.

A maintenance treatment is essential after a course as you don’t want to loose the effects from the investment of a course.
