Equipment Used at the Aqua Sculpture Day SPA

CACI Chroma Oxy

CACI is proud to present their latest combination treatment: CACI Chroma-Oxy Elite. This non invasive treatment combines the best of CACI Chroma Clear and CACI Oxylife. It treats imperfections such as acne, blemishes, scar tissue and wrinkles before improving the skins condition by restoring its texture, elasticity and firmness.

This 90-minute treatment utilizes 7 state of the art technologies:

• Vacuum Massage: a technique that brings blood to the surface and with the blood, new nourishment and energy to the epidermal tissue cells.
• Microdermo Percussion (microdermabration): an exfoliation method using perfectly round quartz silica microspheres, which instead of scraping the skin like the traditional aluminium oxide crystals, gently exfoliate. By producing a rapid tapping action as they are propelled onto the skin it produces very little redness or irritation.
• Micro-Vibration: micro impulses that stimulate the basal layer and accelerate cellular renewal. When combined with blue light this method soothes and calms the skin.
• Chromotherapy (blue light): used to neutralize skin bacteria, cool down inflammations and speed up the healing process.
• Phototherapy (red Light): used to increase the production of collagen and therefore particularly beneficial to treating wrinkles. The anti-inflammatory action speeds up the healing process of wounds and scar tissue.
• Oxygen infusion: drives pulsed oxygen together with specially formulated endocosmetics (Oxycare Line) deep into the skin to improve all visible signs of aging such as dryness, loss of shape, folds and wrinkles, sun spots and age spots.
• Oxy inhalation/aromatherapy:A special mask enables the client to breathe in pure oxygen that is detoxifying, revitalizing and relaxing. The regenerative properties of oxygen work in synergy with aromatherapy to combat pollution and the stress of modern life - a real breathe of fresh air.

Properties and Benefits of the Hydradermie Treatment

Ionization has the following effects:

Deep Cleansing

Penetration of active skincare ingredients

Hydration of the epidermis

Deep cleansing:

Deep cleansing is made possible from the use of Sodium Acid Carbonate, which is contained in most Hydradermie gels

Penetration of Active Skincare Ingredients & Trace Elements:

Ionization also allows superficial penetration of active skincare ingredients and trace elements contained in the Hydradermie gels.

Hydration:

Sodium Lactate, a powerful active moisturizing ingredient, helps improve the hydration of the outer layers of the epidermis. It strengthens cell cohesion while penetrating between the epidermic cells, thus helping improve the skin's moisture retention.

Oxygenation/Purification

(Oxygenating Emulsion Oz2 w/ essential oils)

Improved Microcirulation:

Essential oils create hyperemia, which improves intercellular exchanges, thereby increasing tissue oxygenation and toxin elimination, reducing stress.

Antiseptic and Bactericide Action:

Another effect of essential oils combined with the oxygen found in oxygenating emulsion is microbial oxidation, and thus, a purification of the skin.

PHYSICAL FITNESS

According to the American Medical Association and N.A.S.A., an Infra-red therapy cabin session keeps your cardiovascular system just as healthy as if you were undertaking regular exercise. It has been widely used by astronauts and athletes to great effect.

PASSIVE CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING EFFECTS

It has been reported in the journal of the American Medical Association that regular use of a Radiant Heat Therapy Cabin may place a similar stress on the cardiovascular system and be just as effective a means of conditioning and burning off calories as regular exercise.

The heat of the infra-red rays generated by the thermal system go deep into the body's tissues and internal organs, making the body respond to this by increasing both heart volume and rate.

Medical research confirms that when the body works to cool itself a substantial increase in heart and cardiac output occur.

Validity of this form of cardiovascular conditioning was confirmed after extensive research by N.A.S.A. The conclusion was that this form of Infra-red stimulation of the cardiovascular function would be an ideal way to obtain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts on long space flights.
