Cosmetic Acupuncture

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Facial Enhancement Acupuncture (FEA) combines the benefits of acupuncture together with a skin boosting facial. Targeting specific areas on the face and neck to help rejuvenate and promote overall well-being.

It is a natural, safe therapy which over a course of treatments enhances the overall appearance of the skin. Reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving muscle tone, smoothing and contouring the skin. Your skin will appear firmer and more radiant.

How does it work?

Ultra-fine, sterile acupuncture needles stimulate the body’s natural response to promote blood and lymph. The fine needles cause tiny micro traumas aiding in the production of collagen and elastin improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Facial enhancement acupuncture can also aid in the appearance of scarring and untextured skin. Making it an ideal treatment for any facial skin type or concerns.

There is no down time post treatment. Ideally you would have one treatment for a course of 6 weeks then maintenance to follow.

What is involved in a treatment?

Firstly, I complete a consultation to discuss your areas of concern and then tailor the treatment to your needs. Specific acupuncture points are then inserted into areas of the body to promote wellbeing and support the production of blood and qi in the body.

A combination of acupuncture needles and smaller intradermal needles are then inserted on the face and neck on specific points to target areas of concern. The needles are left for 20 minutes. Once removed a lifting massage is incorporated into the facial. Finally, a skin specific mask is applied while you either choose a hand and arm massage or scalp massage to further float away….

How much does it cost?

Initial treatment will cost £75 and last for 90 minutes. This will combine a skin analysis, cleansing, exfoliation, application of acupuncture needles, massage and then mask. Follow up treatments can include the above or you have the option of a shorter treatment combining cleansing, exfoliation, application of acupuncture needles and then application of moisturiser to finish. This is for 60 minutes at £50.
