YOUNGER FOR LONGER (YFL)

Dee’s Deep Cleanse

We ladies of a certain age are bombarded with news of potions and lotions that will smooth out those wrinkles, lift the sagging jaw-line and give us a more youthful glow. Some of us can easily be seduced by packaging, perfume and promises - even I rushed down to that well-known chemist
for a dose of their magic serum which has taken the skin-care market by storm and is
a snip at £16.95. I will let you know if it works… So when it was suggested I investigate the complimentary non-surgical face-lift on offer in the town I was on Anne Slater’s doorstep before you could say facial. She is Cheshire’s only approved Caci Ultra

therapist and operates discreetly from a delightful old house tucked away in a leafy Knutsford street. Feeling slightly apprehensive I admired the lovely walled garden and rang the bell. What a relief. Anne Slater is not a size 10, perma-tanned, sleek-haired barbie with immaculate make-up and well-fitting white uniform but a smiley blonde in black with fresh, pretty face and friendly manner. Already I feel at ease. We go upstairs to her treatment room and I wonder how many famous bodies have also lain on her couch. She admits to having some celebrity clients but, of course, will not divulge any names. Ooh go on, Anne, tell me…

After a brief chat about my medical history I am on the couch having a fine gel smoothed over my face and away we go with the Caci (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) Micro Current System, the ultra skin regenerator which will cleanse, peel and remove dead skin cells and stimulate the facial muscles. I can feel a slight tingling sensation and a metallic taste in my mouth but that is all – sleep is not far away.. The hand held probes are used to gently massage the face and there is even a wrinkle comb to soften and plump out lines and wrinkles. The ultra sound hand-piece vibrates at 25,000 times a second. Phew. Half of my early morning face is completed. I can certainly see a difference. The muscles feel revitalised and lifted and the skin has a brighter tone. Or was that wishful thinking…have am I wearing a vanity veil?

A relaxing hour or so passes and I am perfectly happy and impressed with the result. This is just a taster and a course of 10 treatments is recommended. If this is an alternative to collagen injections and invasive surgery then it does make sense. There are other treatments on offer – Lunch Hour Facelift, Deep wrinkle treatment, Skin- healing and an anti-ageing hand treatment. Anne will also demonstrate this technique to a small group of your friends (inc a glass of wine) for free and also suggests a few pre-wedding sessions for brides. Caci has been around for over 20 years and is not just for wrinklies but for any age and can be especially effective for skin blemishes having been originally used to treat Bell’s Palsy.
