Chicago, IL -- (SBWire) -- 04/02/2012 --The Peninsula Spa introduces the Ultimate Lifting and Firming Microderm Facial, featuring the CACI Ultimate machine. The system’s multifunctional capabilities enable the therapist to offer the most comprehensive range of non-surgical treatment options to both men and women of all ages. The Peninsula Spa is proud to be the only location in the Chicago area to offer a facial treatment using the CACI Ultimate. The 90-minute Ultimate Lifting and Firming Microderm Facial is priced at US$ 310.

The Ultimate Lifting and Firming Microderm Facial is a safe alternative to a surgical procedure, and allows skin to instantly look more visibly toned and firm. The light therapy facilitates cell regeneration and healing, and the HydraTone mask reduces fine lines and wrinkles and softens and plumps the skin for an overall glow and smoothness.

CACI machines are well-known and used throughout Europe and have recently been introduced in the American market. The Ultimate machine incorporates the use of red and blue light therapy to assist with redness and inflammation for a pain-free and non-invasive, yet highly effective treatment. It is currently the only machine in the world that does microdermabrasion and light therapy simultaneously. Backed by over 20 years of research, this award-winning spa system is the most advanced of its time, combining crystal-free orbital microdermabrasion, firming micro-current, lymphatic drainage, LED light therapy photo stimulation and an advanced collagen-based HydraTone mask for total rejuvenation.

The treatment at the spa in downtown Chicago begins with a facial cleanse, followed by orbital mircodermabrasion and light therapy concurrently. After this, the therapist transitions into the micro-current portion of the facial, which includes a full micro-current facelift and wrinkle comb for deep-set wrinkles. The therapist then applies the collagen HydraTone mask and uses micro-current technology to help it fully absorb into the skin so the guest receives the maximum benefit from the mask.

The service is finished with light therapy and moisturizer customized to the individual guest’s needs.

Micro-current uses the same electrical impulses that are found naturally in the body and concentrates those impulses toward the muscles in the face. These impulses go into the facial muscle causing it to contract or "workout,” which in turn lifts and tightens the face. This is especially unique to micro-current as most face lifts, both natural and cosmetic, work on the skin tissue instead of the muscle.
