HOW AND WHY IT WORKS
Facial acupuncture is a natural alternative to invasive anti-aging procedures and chemicals. It uses fine-gauge needles placed in specific “problem” areas on the face, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, mouth lines, and jowls. When the needles are injected, they create tiny traumas to the skin, which trigger a physiological reaction that sends increased circulation and collagen to the “wounded’’ area.
​
Collagen is the main protein in our bodies, and is what makes our skin, bones, and cartilage strong and elastic. As we age, our collagen production decreases, which is why we see the structural integrity of our skin (and everything else) decline. So when the body sends these small amounts of collagen to “heal” these minuscule puncture wounds, the skin will begin to appear smoother, fuller, and brighter.
​
Because each patient is different, we recommend anywhere from 8 to 10 treatments, administered once or twice a week. Results will depend on the age, health, and lifestyle of the patient, but may be seen as early as the first treatment, though patients will usually see improvement in their appearance around the seventh treatment.

FACIAL CUPPING
Facial cupping will be combined with Facial acupuncture to maximise the results. Glass suction tubes designed for the face rhythmically and gently vacuum face, neck and upper chest tissue. The suction created stimulates skin circulation, removes stagnant lymph , lifts, tones, and plumps sagging skin and deeper tissue. It relaxes tight muscles, softens fine lines and wrinkles, and removes puffiness around eyes and face. Its deep invigorating action ushers nutrient-riched blood and fluids into skin cells to improve the healthy production of elastin and collagen, preserve skin integrity, and enhance a youthful, radiant appearance.
