Facial Acupuncture and Holistic Skincare
A gentler approach to naturally beautiful skin
This approach considers your health as well as your beauty, boosting the body’s energy from within. Facial Acupuncture – also known as Cosmetic Acupuncture – works on a deeper level than most superficial treatments, by addressing the WHY behind healthy skin.
We call it ‘holistic’ because it addresses a person’s beauty and overall wellbeing – the whole you.
How is Facial Acupuncture different?
3-Benefits in 1 Treatment
As well as directly treating your skin, each session also benefits overall physical and emotional health.
A Non-Toxic Alternative
Compared to more invasive methods such as Botox, fillers or chemical peels – it also has fewer side effects.
Benefits of Facial Acupuncture
Boost circulation
Facial Acupuncture and Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage can increase the flow of fresh blood and energy to the face, neck and scalp.
Acupuncture, cupping and gua sha have a gentle detoxing effect and help to move fluids beneath the skin.
Release facial tension
Tension in the muscles of your jaw, forehead, neck and scalp is gently released with acupuncture, acupressure massage and gua sha and cupping techniques.
Stimulate collagen production
Tiny micro-injuries to the skin surface encourage the body’s natural production of collagen (as well as boost the release of endorphins a.k.a “happy hormones” in the endocrine system).
Soften fine lines and reduce the signs of stressed, premature aging skin
Reduce appearance of sun damage, acne or congested skin
Improve overall vitality and healthy glow of skin
Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture treatments focus on skin health as well as helping reduce muscle tension in the face. This can be beneficial for a wide range of health and skin concerns, and it is always a ‘whole person’ approach.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the face reflects the secrets of your internal health. Each treatment works internally to optimize the balance in your body.
Apart from revitalized skin, this may also mean better sleep, improved digestion or a more relaxed facial expression.
Acupuncture Glow Facial
Our signature Acupuncture Glow treatment is dedicated to boosting your skin’s lymphatic balance, soothing sensitivities and leaving you with a fresh, glowing complexion. It combines cosmetic acupuncture with the Vodder Method of manual lymphatic drainage facial massage.
We spend extra time on manual lymphatic drainage techniques, which can help reduce the appearance of puffy, blotchy or congested skin. Face and body acupuncture points are customized to help balance the body systems that support healthy skin.
Lastly, a soothing herbal sheet mask is applied at the end of your session.
