Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture

While it may seem that cosmetic acupuncture is a more modern branch of Chinese Medicine, this style of acupuncture is actually well-documented as Mei Rong (medical cosmetology) as early as the Qin Dynasty (221-206BCE) and was generally reserved for the Empress and the imperial concubines to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation and longevity as well as health.

Descriptions of anti-aging treatments using acupuncture, facial massage, diet, Chinese herbs and Qi-Gong  can be found in texts such as “Inner Cannon of The Yellow Emperor” where the relationship between the external appearance and the internal organs are explained

Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture is a natural and holistic, minimal intervention treatment, that involves fine needles inserted into acupuncture points on the body, face, and scalp to help you feel and look amazing from the inside out.

Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture has been used in my clinic for:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Natural anti-ageing
Uneven skin tone
Hyperpigmentation
Breakouts
Skin dryness
Dull complexion
Oiliness
Enlarged pores
Sagging skin
Dark circles under the eyes
Dropping eyes or hooded eyelids
Sun damage
Scarring

Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture is continually being researched and studied with findings showing it can help increase skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, lessen pigmentation, improve muscle tone, and build collagen.
All things we love to have more of while we grow older.

Want a natural alternative to injectables, botox and fillers?
Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture is perfect if you are wanting to avoid these treatments.

Like regular acupuncture, cosmetic facial acupuncture starts off with a full Chinese Medicine face diagnosis.
Once the pins are in you, it is time to relax and reset your nervous system.
After some time with the needles, I will take them out and finish your treatment with facial cupping, a jade stone gua sha facial and jade rolling.

I bet you have a heap more questions, I love that!
