Best 'technical' facial or treatment for someone who is turning into a melted candle

Not sure if 'technical' is the right word; I mean treatments like fraxel, infrared, radio wave, CACI etc. rather than just a standard facial.

My face seems to have suffered a sudden landslide under lockdown and it's disturbing. Is there a facial or treatment that can bring it back up and make me look fresh again? I'm 38 and my skin is in good condition otherwise, it's just slipping down. I don't really want to go down the route of fillers or surgery (yet...) so was hoping there was some non-invasive treatment that could help.

There are so many options out there, I'd rather get personal experiences rather than risk something that doesn't work.

I have CACI. I'd say it was good but not phenomenal. Or, I could be horrendous looking without it and it acts as scaffolding for the face!
I used to have facial acupuncture, but bloody hell, it was painful in some areas (chin particularly.)
I always ask to be cranked up to Frankenstein levels with my CACI, as on a minimum setting, I can't see it makes a difference. In my head it needs to be slightly uncomfortable to make a difference.
I'm not going down the filler/botox route yet.

Loving the Frankenstein image! I like CACI but damn, it’s expensive. I use a Nuface microcurrent device at home in conjunction with serum sheet masks (using the gadget whilst wearing the mask). I think it makes a difference but you do have to keep up to it.

Grin I'm a longtime friend of the owner of the fab salon I go to. I get 1hr facial CACI for £40 per time if I buy a course of 6. I've always suspected this was on the cheap side, bless her. She does get lovely B'day and Xmas gifts from me!

£40 for CACI is so cheap! It looks like CACI is the treatments that's going to lift my face back up then. I will ask them to turn it up to 11 Wink
