What will it involve?
For optimum skin improvement CACI Face Lift is best taken after an exfoliation treatment, such as a Micro-Dermabrasion & LED, Fresh Up Light or an Chemical Skin Peel to lift layers of unwanted dead skin cells, improving the surface of the skin. The CACI Face Lift treatment will repair the deeper layers of the skin and muscle structures.
Your skin care practitioner will complete a detailed consultation to establish your skin type, condition and your skin care improvement goals, all of which will determine the most suitable exfoliation treatment to suit your skin.
Commencing a pre-exfoliation treatment, or simply a cleanse if you opt out from the pre exfoliation treatment, the application of the Micro-current lifting process of the treatment is applied to stimulate the loose sagging facial muscles to become tightened and toned.
The skin renewal process of the treatment then stimulates the skin to become firmer, whilst the fine lines and wrinkles are plumped out and softened.
The treatment incorporates lymphatic drainage which has an affective result in reducing puffy skin and eyes.

Why have the procedure?
•    Tighten & tone loose face & neck muscles
•    Stimulate the skin’s natural collagen
•    Reduce fine lines & wrinkles
•    Achieve instant skin brightness
•    Reduce puffy skin & eyes
•    This is an ideal pre-wedding facial or for a special occasion

Does it hurt?
No discomfort is felt. You will experience a firm brace of the muscles possibly, with a slight sensation of a current between the micro-current probes.

How many treatments do I need?
A single treatment will provide an instant lift and tone. However a course of 10 treatments taken weekly is strongly advised to provide longevity of the muscle and skin tone.

How quickly will I see the results?
You will see an instant lift and tone immediately after a single treatment and progressively after each session during a course of treatments.

How long will the results last?
A single treatment can last up to a few weeks. However a course of weekly treatments followed by a monthly maintenance treatment is advised to sustain the results of reversing the ageing process.

No specific after care is required.

For a healthier skin your skin care practitioner will guide you with a personlised home care skin regime.

Use an SPF50 Daily.

Emporium Practitioner:
Angela Taffinder – Senior Aesthetician

Angela is simply the best.
She has completely turned around my skin – I really couldn’t be happier with the results. Angela has so much experience, and so much advice – there are always different options and avenues to explore.
I really couldn’t recommend more

Alexandra

Angela is simply the best. I’ve been one of her clients for nearly 7 years and I can’t recommend her more highly. She has tailor made me a bespoke milia removal/ face rejuvenation treatment and I wouldn’t be without it! She has so much experience and knowledge and never fails to work her magic. Her treatments are so much more than your bog standard facial, she knows exactly what your skin needs and explains everything along the way. I promise you won’t find any one better.

Imogen

Angela has been caring for my skin for the last 25 years. Her treatments are bespoke, addressing whatever is currently going on with my skin. I have a monthly triple treatment which seems to be exactly what my skin needs at the moment. During lockdown, my skin missed her amazing treatments & careful attention.

Leila

I went in having let my milia run riot during lockdown and I was super impressed to leave the treatment not only without a mark but with totally revived skin after the facial. I also love that there is no “paint by numbers” approach to the treatment, you feel that you’re getting an experience tailored to your skin’s needs. I have and would continue to recommend.

Jade

I have been going to Angela for years and she really knows my skin and what treatments to give … I totally trust her and have recommended her to many of my friends who also love her . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED XXX

Hannah

Transformed my acne!
I have been coming to Emporium Treatments for almost a year and each time I leave, I’m even more in love with my skin. When I had my initial treatment with Angela, my skin was suffering from active acne and scarring. Angela provided a tailored treatment plan for myself, explaining every step clearly and since then my skin has improved dramatically. She has really helped with my overall confidence. I would highly recommend.

Chantelle

Angela always provides the best service, no matter which of the many treatments you choose. Booking is a breeze, and punctuality is proven. My chosen treatment was conducted quickly, professionally, and thoroughly. The results consistently exceed my expectations! I always look forward to my next appointment.

Lauren

Angela at Emporium is amazing!
I have recurring milia so I’m constantly coming to see her for extractions. Before my first visit she answered all of my questions and made me feel like she really cared before I’d even met her.
I have hundreds of milia and every session she has the patience of a saint, removing each one by hand.
It’s a bit of a painful procedure but she’s so lovely and friendly that I feel at ease the second I step through the door and she always works her magic quickly and carefully, using lots of cooling and soothing aftercare to help calm down my skin.
Over the years, she’s put so much time in to helping me work out what’s causing them and how to prevent future flare ups.
I have been to other places for milia removal in the past but Angela is by far the best (and more reasonably priced than some of the bigger companies). I wouldn’t even dream of going anywhere else now.

Sian

Emporium is my go to for facial treatments – Angela is one of London’s best kept secrets. Her technique is superb, far beyond what any branded beauty salon can do.

Anna Marie

I have been going to Angela (Emporium) around 6 years now and she always manages to clear my skin and keep me looking youthful with her up to date advance treatments,My personal favourite is the Green peel and Microneedling facial as well as various body treatments I have had here to .I always leave with a glow and get compliments highly reccomend x

Carmel

Five-star experience!
Couldn’t recommend Angela (Emporium) more highly! I’ve be going for bespoke facials for a number of years and have always felt a truly pampered. The facials are tailored to your skin type and she is *the best* at milia removal. Angela has always been able to accommodate appointments around my work schedule, and at short notice, and I’ve been more than happy to recommend to friends.

James

I’ve been going to Angela for the last 25/30 years. In between I’ve tried other places and practitioners but always end up going back to Emporium. Angela understands my skin, right from the beginning when I had acne and pigmentation to now where my skin needs are different. I appreciate her experience and knowledge, my skin looks and feels great. Highly recommend.

Kalyan

Angela’s facials have literally transformed my skin. I met Angela back in October last year, and my only regret is not going to see her sooner. My skin was ruined by a couple of badly chosen laser treatments earlier in the year and after my first facial with Angela I felt so much better about myself, she cleared my skin completely and made me love it again! I think I’m a little addicted to her treatments now, she knows a lot about skin care and tailors the facial to exactly what your skin needs. I’m so happy to have found her. 5/5 review from me!

Aneke

Excellent Milia Removal
Attended Emporium Treatment Clinic for milia removal. Great experience – friendly, well-priced and effective. Will definitely be recommending to friends.

Jamie

Angela is a fantastic practitioner and a lovely person. I’ve had many successful facials and treatments with her over the past few years. I trust her advice completely. She’s never pushed any treatments or products, but is always open to suggesting new solutions.
