THE best facial I have ever had was in the ‘Beauty by the Beach’ salon in Ballybunion.
It is called the Caci ultimate facial. This was originally developed for treating facial palsy using micro current and this is widely used in physiotherapy for pain control and in hospitals for wound healing.
In the beauty world it is used to re-educate muscles, increase blood and lymph circulation, to enhance the penetration of active ingredients and increase the production of collagen.

This luxury facial takes one hour and thirty minutes. It comprises of many parts, microdermabrasion exfoliates dead skin resulting in a more youthful looking skin. It is also used to heal acne scars, sun damaged skin and scar tissue.
The light therapy comes next and the research for this part comes from NASA and this comprises of LED lights.
The red light enhances cell growth and fibroblasts activity and this increases the production of new collagen.
The blue light destroys bacteria that produces the inflammation associated with acne.
Hydratone is a silicon gel mask comes next and is very hydrating. Rollers are used over the mask to massage deeper into the skin and this makes the mask become electrically charged and this has the effect of making the skin rejuvenate.
Celebs who love this facial are Lisa Snowdon the radio presenter and Cliff Richard the Peter Pan of the music world is also a big fan.
The skin is a little red afterwards and no makeup afterwards is recommended. The next day the skin looks and feels great.
The cheekbones feel higher and this is also great for jawlines. The amount of treatments depends on the person.
