CACI REJUVA MED

THE LOWDOWN

If you’ve been following my column for a while, you’ll know I love a CACI facial, so being among the first to try the new Rejuva Med treatment at CACI HQ was a true delight. Even better, I had the treatment performed by one of their top national trainers.

What particularly excited me about this launch is that it embodies everything I adore in a facial: lots of tech, compelling ingredients and the option for the therapist and patient to create something truly bespoke.

Rejuva Med brings together five clinically proven technologies, including CACI’s iconic microcurrent, to lift, brighten, rejuvenate and visibly refresh the skin from the very first session. The full facial takes 90 minutes and is designed to deliver immediate results with minimal downtime.

THE EXPERIENCE

After a tour of CACI’s slick training facilities, I settled onto a plush treatment bed while my therapist walked me through the fivestep protocol. Step 1: Deep Cleansing & Oxygenation The facial begins with CACI’s dual-action Prep & Glow system. Gentle orbital rotation paired with red and blue LED light therapy and oxygenating pods worked across my skin, giving me the sensation of a soft buff and polish. The pods contain brightening ingredients such as kojic acid, alpha arbutin, vitamin C and cactus fruit extract, while a

CO2 activator gel enhances oxygen release into the skin. My complexion immediately felt awakened, clean, fresh and incredibly smooth. Step 2: Skin Firming & Tightening

Next came multi-polar radiofrequency, delivered via a handset using CACI’s lattice array of 20 RF poles. This configuration ensures even, controlled heating of the dermis to boost collagen and elastin production. The gentle, enveloping warmth was deeply relaxing, almost meditative, and I could feel my facial muscles uncoil as the heat subtly tightened my skin. An integrated temperature sensor ensures consistent, safe delivery throughout. My skin felt instantly firmer. Step 3: Muscle Toning & Lifting

A CACI classic, but upgraded: enter the GripTec microcurrent handset featuring the brand’s microcurrent tech. The textured rollers, angled at 35°, gently grip the facial contours to create a skin fold as the low-frequency microcurrent works to re-educate the underlying muscles. This step is all about sculpting, lifting and enhancing definition.

I could feel my face subtly repositioning and the fluid draining to my lymph nodes. I genuinely felt more awake, less puffy and was sure I would look noticeably lifted afterwards. Step 4: Skin Rejuvenation (IPL) The Rejuva Med system includes an IPL handset designed to target pigmentation, redness and textural irregularities. It features both a Skin Rejuvenation lamp (560– 1100nm) and an Acne lamp (400–700nm), with a safety sensor that only activates on full skin contact.

As I’m outside the safe Fitzpatrick range for this device, my therapist skipped this step, but for eligible clients, this could be transformative in brightening and evening the complexion. Step 5: PDRN Serum Infusion

The final step was easily the most futuristic and the most Instagrammable. The Infusion Atomiser uses a trio of technologies (electroinfusion, ultrasonic atomisation, and LED) to create microscopic channels in the skin and drive in CACI’s plant-derived PDRN Skin Revive Infusion Serum with no needles.

This vegan alternative to salmon polynucleotides contains peptides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and tremella to hydrate, repair and encourage cell renewal. As the atomised mist clouded over my skin, I felt a barely perceptible tingle and no discomfort, just the sense of deep delivery. My skin drank it up.

THE VERDICT

I loved every moment of this facial. Each step felt purposeful, indulgent and technologically impressive. By the time I looked in the mirror, the changes were undeniable: hydration, luminosity, de-puffed eyes and an overall look of rested vitality.

Over the following days, the early exfoliation from Step 1 continued to reveal a brighter complexion, while the RF glow from Step 2 lingered beautifully. It’s rare for a single treatment to deliver this much instant gratification while still feeling like something that will compound over time.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

From a clinic perspective, Rejuva Med is a dream:

• Highly Instagrammable, especially the serum atomiser in Step 5 – marketing gold.

• Immediate visible results, which drive re-booking and encourage clients to commit to the recommended eight-treatment course.

• Multi-technology appeal, allowing clinics to position it as a premium, results-driven option with strong ROI.
