Microcurrent isn't a trend — it's one of the most well-researched technologies in facial aesthetics. At Facestellar, we offer two distinct protocols because no two skin goals are the same.
Think of microcurrent as a gym session for your face. These ultra-low-level electrical impulses mirror your body's own bio-electrical field, communicating directly with facial muscles to re-educate, lift, and tone in a way that skincare products simply cannot replicate. The results can be genuinely transformative — but only when the right technology is matched to the right goal.
At Facestellar, we take a clinical approach. We use two distinct microcurrent systems — CACI and EMS — because they work differently, deliver different outcomes, and suit different stages of a treatment journey. Understanding the distinction is the key to getting the most from your investment.
How Microcurrent Works
Your facial muscles are governed by electrical signals. Over time — due to ageing, gravity, habitual expressions, and reduced cellular energy — the muscles weaken, elongate, and lose their natural resting position. This is what creates the heaviness around the jaw, the drooping of the brows, the softening of the cheekbones.
Microcurrent introduces a gentle, precise electrical current that re-trains the muscle back toward its optimal position. Simultaneously, it stimulates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production — the cellular energy currency — which accelerates collagen and elastin synthesis. The treatment is painless, non-invasive, and carries zero downtime.
CACI
Precision Lift
CACI (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) delivers targeted, precise microcurrent waves that work muscle group by muscle group. Think of it as personal training for specific areas — it allows for surgical-level precision in how and where the lift is applied.
- Precise, isolated muscle lifting per zone
- Progressive results that build with each session
- Addresses specific concerns — brows, jawline, jowls, cheekbones
- Longer-lasting structural change over a course
- Recommended course: 10 sessions, twice weekly
EMS
Instant Sculptor
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) delivers a broader, more intense current that contracts multiple muscle groups simultaneously for a dramatic, immediate lift. The transformation after a single session is visible — and often striking.
- Visible lift from a single treatment
- Full-face tightening and contouring
- Ideal before events, photoshoots, or special occasions
- Pairs beautifully with other skin treatments
- Can be used as a standalone or as a booster
Which Is Right for You?
If you are committed to a course of treatment and want to address structural changes — sagging brows, softened cheekbones, a less-defined jawline — CACI is the protocol that delivers lasting, progressive change. Each session builds on the last, and the results compound significantly when completed as a full course.
If you want to look noticeably lifted, contoured, and refreshed for an event this week — a wedding, a photoshoot, a reunion — EMS delivers. The lift is visible, real, and immediate. Many clients also use EMS as a regular maintenance treatment once their CACI course is complete.
"The face remembers every session. Microcurrent doesn't force the muscles — it reminds them where they were."
Facestellar, ChelseaWhat to Expect
Both treatments are entirely comfortable — most clients describe the sensation as a gentle tingling or a light pulsing against the skin. There is no redness, no swelling, and no recovery period. You can return to your day, your makeup, your life, immediately.
At Facestellar, every microcurrent treatment begins with a thorough skin consultation. We assess your facial anatomy, your muscle tone, your specific concerns, and your timeline — and then recommend the approach that will genuinely deliver what you're looking for. There is no one-size-fits-all here.
