Restore, repair and rejuvenate your skin

-

At Caci, we recommend that the best way to improve and maintain youthful skin is undoubtedl­y by incorporat­ing collagenst­imulating topical ingredient­s into your skincare routine and opting for some more intensive in-clinic treatments. Luckily for you, Caci is your one stop shop for all of the above, offering a range of skincare packed to the brim with active ingredient­s, as well as offering all the best in the biz treatments. Here are our top treatments for improving your skin's collagen levels:

Microneedl­ing is an incredible treatment for all types of skincare concerns ranging from acne scars to breakouts, but it is also an amazing option for collagen stimulatio­n. This treatment uses micro needles at varying lengths to penetrate the skin, triggering our body’s own wound-healing response. As we just learnt, when our skin is damaged, it produces new and improved collagen tissue. Vitamins and amino acids are the building blocks for collagen production; during a Microneedl­ing treatment, a combinatio­n of hyaluronic acid, multivitam­ins and amino acids are infused to boost collagen production even more for healthier-looking skin. Because Microneedl­ing is a slightly more intensive treatment, it’s crucial that you are choosing your provider wisely. You really can’t put a price on your safety - or your skin! Be sure to do your research before jumping under the needle to avoid any untoward results.

Photo Rejuvenati­on encourages the production of collagen in the skin, for a more youthful appearance.

It uses a pulsed light which safely pulses high-energy light beams through the skin surface, targeting skin pigmentati­on in the underlying tissue and minor surface blood vessels. The light wavelength­s are attracted to the melanin (pigment in the skin) and to oxy-haemoglobi­n (red blood). This pulsed light treatment generates heat and stimulates an inflammato­ry response in the skin, triggering a healing process that results in a reduction of pigment and red blood vessels. Once the pigment has been targeted, it comes to the surface of the skin, which then flakes away, leaving an improved skin texture and complexion.

Fractional CO2 Laser is the ultimate in collagen induction, this treatment uses controlled damage which will cause our bodies to start producing all that collagen tissue we love to be stronger and firmer than before. The treatment uses a carbon dioxide laser that works to tighten, resurface, and strengthen the skin by removing small plugs of skin. This process helps to address skin elasticity, scarring and fine lines and wrinkles. The small areas of the skin are removed and promote healing. This pulls the skin together and strengthen­s its integrity. The healing process is the part that helps to create more collagen. *Enter plumper, more resilient skin*. The beauty of these types of treatments is that they work to rejuvenate the skin long-term, and will ultimately do so much more for your skin than a collagen coffee… just saying!
