WHAT COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE CAN SUPPORT

As good for how you feel as how you look

Cosmetic acupuncture treats your whole body, not just your face. Most people leave feeling calmer and more rested, as well as looking brighter.

It's often chosen to support:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Facial muscle tone and natural lift
  • Brighter, more even skin tone
  • Puffiness and lymphatic drainage
  • Acne scarring
  • Stress, sleep and overall wellbeing

HOW FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE WORKS

A gentle, natural approach to anti-ageing

Unlike Botox, cosmetic acupuncture encourages the face to lift and tone naturally. Very fine needles create a painless "micro-trauma" in the dermis, signalling the body's own healing response. This stimulates fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin, to firm and repair the skin in the treated area. A similar technique is used to soften acne scarring.

Each treatment also:

  • Increases the flow of Qi and blood circulation to the face
  • Firms and tones the facial muscles at their origin and insertion
  • Reduce acne scaring
  • Addresses what's going on in the rest of your body
  • Reduces stress and promotes overall wellbeing

Cosmetic acupuncture has a cumulative effect, so we recommend a series of sessions for noticeable, lasting result
