Cosmetic Acupuncture

What is it?

Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, is a non-invasive natural beauty treatment that involves the insertion of tiny acupuncture needles into the skin to improve blood circulation, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and release deeper muscular tension and knots in the face. This safe and gentle therapy will give you an instant brightening and glowing effect, and over time can erase fine lines and wrinkles and lift sagging skin as well as improving tone and texture. As cosmetic acupuncture is a holistic treatment, you will experience the added benefit of boosting overall health and wellbeing.

How long does it take to see results?

Most people display a noticeable glow after one or two treatments. However, the effects of cosmetic acupuncture are cumulative, therefore a course of treatment is recommended to receive maximum benefit. Everyone responds differently, but generally a course of at least 6-10 weekly treatments is required. After this maintenance sessions every 4-8 weeks will keep your complexion glowing, fresh and youthful.

Can I have cosmetic acupuncture if I have had injectables?

Cosmetic acupuncture can be used as a natural alternative to injectables, but it also works well as a complementary therapy to these procedures. In these instances, we recommend waiting a least three months after having injectables before you have cosmetic acupuncture treatment.

Is cosmetic acupuncture suitable for everyone?

Not everyone is a suitable candidate for cosmetic acupuncture. It is not recommended for those who are pregnant or trying to conceive, have uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, suffer from migraines or vertigo, bruise easily, are on blood thinning medications, or have a pacemaker.

Is there any down time?

There is no down time associated with cosmetic acupuncture. You may resume normal activities immediately afterward. There is a small risk of bruising, but this is a rare occurrence.
