Why your skin needs regular treatments
A quick guide to hormones
In this article we will cover:
As we lead increasingly busy lives, successfully putting aside time for ourselves can seem at best challenging, and at worst… downright impossible. This rings especially true when it comes to self-care. We delay booking, committing, and attending our appointments due to work and family commitments always taking priority. But at Caci, we believe the small ritual of putting half an hour aside every three weeks for some you-time is crucial to you being able to show up as your best self in all other facets of life.
The thing with skincare and skin treatments is that you can’t dip in and out of them and expect to see long-lasting results. If you want to experience truly life-changing differences in your skin you need to commit to both your at-home products and your in-clinic treatments. And we get it, as we get busy it’s easy to put your skin treatments in the ‘nice to have’ list, but unfortunately, if you take this approach it’s only a matter of time before you stop showing up at all. So here are our top tips for staying consistent with your skin treatments.

Why is it important to get regular skin treatments?
Skin conditioning treatments are the foundation of your skincare routine and will help you reach your skin goals faster. Just like workouts for your body, skin treatments help to keep your complexion in great shape and by having them consistently you ensure the effects last longer than having a one-off treatment.
Wrinkles and fine lines
If you suffer from skin conditions such as dryness or acne, in-clinic treatments are the name of the game. A more intensive exfoliation such as microdermabrasion, will not only help to remove dead skin buildup, but it will also allow for your at-home products to be absorbed into the skin more effectively. While at-home products can absolutely get you to your skincare goals, the more intensive in-clinic treatments are basically like a more concentrated sped-up version of the effects. This means you’re getting more bang for your buck both at home and in-clinic. Win-win!

How do I stay consistent with my appointments?
Sign up for a skin health membership
As we mentioned earlier, in order to achieve results that last, you have to be consistent with your treatments. This means, ideally, getting facials and treatments that are tailored to your specific skin needs every 3-4 weeks. While this may sound excessive to some, Caci’s skincare membership Reformaskin does most of the hard work for you, so all you have to do is show up on the day.
Take all the scheduling, planning and thinking out of your skin treatments by signing up for the Reformaskin Skin Health Membership. Once you’re signed up, the team at your chosen clinic will book you in for tailored treatments every three to four weeks. This means you don’t need to research which treatments your skin needs and when, the knowledgeable staff will be able to tell you which facials you need at what time to achieve optimal results.
Then all you have to do is show up on the day and walk out looking like a glowy little angel. Believe us when we tell you that often the hardest part of staying consistent with your skin treatments is picking up the phone and booking. Because you will book your next appointment after each facial, this can honestly be the difference between staying consistent and not!
The best thing about the Caci Reformaskin Plan is that it’s personal. The staff will take a vested interest in you and your skin, which will lead to you getting the absolute best results possible. They’ll be able to answer any skin-related questions you have, as well as point you in the right direction for your at-home products.
Block out time in your calendar
As soon as you’ve booked in your next appointment, make sure you block out time in your calendar immediately. This will ensure that you don’t double-book yourself and that you can see at a glance when you have appointments coming up so you don’t forget! Remember, no one can contribute what you can contribute but YOU - so staying consistent is always the best way to see the best results.
Prioritise yourself
While some may consider facials an exorbitant cost, I challenge you to find something that will make you feel more confident than having glowing, healthy skin. No matter how busy we get, setting some time aside for a ‘treat yourself’ moment could actually make all the difference in the world. Loving the skin you're in will undoubtedly improve other aspects of your life, and as such, is a worthy investment!
How much does the membership cost?
Memberships start at as little as $28 per week (which is probably less than what you spend on coffee!) If you’re looking for something a little more intensive, you can sign up for plans that include some of our more advanced treatments such as Photo Rejuvenation and Fractional Laser, so if you’re wanting to incorporate these just let the staff know at your consultation and they will be able to adjust the price accordingly.
What treatments are available?

This will include all the treatments from the Basic plan, as well as 4-5 advanced treatments over a 12-month period to make a real difference to your skin.

Microneedling:

Photo Rejuventation:
Generally speaking, more intensive skin treatments such as Photo Rejuvenation and Fractional Co2 Laser Facials should be done during the Winter.
Photo Rejuvenation is one of Caci’s most advanced skin treatments, it uses a pulsed light that targets the signs of premature ageing, pigmentation and sun spots on the face, chest and hands. It also encourages the skin to produce more collagen, all of which will lead to a more youthful appearance.
Fractional CO2 Laser
The Fractional CO2 Laser treatment is more advanced and intensive, and it uses a fractional carbon dioxide laser to resurface the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process which helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
