What is Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture?
Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture is based on the same principles as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment for the body. TCM follows the belief that the Qi or life force of the body flows through energy channels or meridians that are connected to all the organs in our body. When the flow of Qi becomes imbalanced or obstructed it can manifest physically, for example: bad sleep quality, headaches, depression, digestive or gynaecological issues, bone disorders or even more serious diseases.
By first performing a diagnosis and then activating points on the body through needle insertion, the body begins to regain its homeostasis, leading to overall health, well-being and looking and feeling good.
Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture is said to be the truest form of anti-ageing, in that it works internally to optimise your health at the same time as giving you a visible facelift.
What happens in A Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture session?
In the first instance, a personal diagnosis is performed to see where imbalances lie within the body. The client is then treated for those imbalances during the Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture sessions, restoring homeostasis in the body that subsequently are also reflected on the outside. Often issues in the skin and face are related to underlying imbalances in the body, hence, by treating these, the client’s health improves also.
Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture combines traditional acupuncture points on the body for general well-being whilst also targeting areas on the face for aesthetic purposes. Needles are inserted into the skin of the face, neck, ears, arms and legs for a complete treatment that is not only painless, but also relaxing. Fine needles are used to puncture the face, which traumatise the skin creating microtraumas, consequently activating the skin’s natural repairing mechanism by boosting collagen and elastin production in the area. Needling also stimulates blood circulation, which oxygenates and delivers nutrients to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes more elastic yet toned and lifted, it gives a vibrant glow, dark circles and swelling under the eyes reduce and most of all you feel rejuvenated.
This technique concludes with a facial and neck massage to add to the results of Cosmetic Acupuncture whilst helping you achieve a relaxed state.
Although Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture is painless, the fact that thin needles are inserted into the face, ears and body means that for some clients, the experience is not as soothing as our other techniques. Keep in mind however that during these sessions the state of your health is addressed, the root of your body is strengthened and any obstructions to the flow of Qi are corrected. Finally you are left with a feeling of wellbeing and renewal, glowing inside and out.
