Cosmetic Acupuncture


For thousands of years, the Chinese have known that beauty comes from the inside. At least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) Acupuncture rejuvenation practices were employed for the Empress and Emperor’s concubines. The Chinese discovered and utilized ways to exchange the energy flow within the body to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation. For the novice of Chinese Medicine, it is known that increased circulation helps the body to look and feel better.

Cosmetic Acupuncture, also known as Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation or Acupuncture Facelift, is a painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of ageing. Cosmetic Acupuncture is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into particular areas of the face, neck, head, hands and legs along channels of energy called “qi”. By substantially increasing the circulation of blood, lymph and qi to the head, these treatments improve the complexion noticeably. Stress and expression lines are transformed, resulting in a younger and calmer looking face. The added benefits from the body acupuncture further balance the body’s organ system and treats underlying causes of ageing and diseases at the root. For most people the needle insertion is pain-free but a local anaesthetic cream may be applied. The needles are left in place for approximately 30 minutes while the patient relaxes. It is an excellent alternative to synthetic fillers and botox injections and has virtually no side-effects or trauma that may be caused by surgery.

A minimum of 6 treatments is generally recommended to see the benefits. However even one treatment will leave your skin looking radiant and rejuvenated.
