SKIN HEALTH
Our skin has never been under such pressure as it combats the daily stresses of a modern day life, especially at seasonal transitions. When we talk about skin health and ageing naturally, a 360° approach is vital.
Cosmetic Acupuncture or Facial Rejuvenation is an extension of traditional acupuncture. It naturally helps make the skin look younger, smoother, and all-around healthier. And unlike more invasive procedures, facial acupuncture addresses not only signs of aging, but also the skin’s overall health.
In Chinese Medicine we believe that external skin quality is driven by our internal health. That means you can apply the best and most expensive skincare on your face but if you are stressed, not sleeping, eating badly or have a hormonal imbalance - what you apply to your skin will simply not be effective. The focus is to create long-term changes in the health of the skin and body, not short-term quick fixes. By this, we mean better collagen stimulation, a brightened skin tone, reduced jaw tension, and a softer appearance overall on top of health benefits like reduced anxiety and tension.
HOW IT WORKS
Chinese Medicine focuses on the processes of the human body as an energy system, whereby skin health and well being relies on the smooth and dynamic flow of energy or Qi through the body. Once internal causes that affect skin ageing are assessed, a prescription of body acupuncture will complement your holistic cosmetic treatment, allowing you to experience a full flow of energy that will support the facial acupuncture.
Facial cosmetic acupuncture focuses on rejuvenating, re-energising and addressing all signs of skin concerns by stimulating, repairing and renewing skin mechanisms from within the dermis.
The treatment involves superficially inserting tiny and painless needles on the face. As the needles puncture the skin, they create wounds within its threshold, which are called positive microtraumas. This process accelerates a cascade of crucial healing triggers, which facilitates increased micro-circulation and oxygen supply to the skin as well as encouraging the skin’s own repair mode. The rejuvenating treatment promotes detoxification and encourages production of newer and stronger collagen and elastin fibres resulting in improved firmness, elasticity, reduced fine lines, regeneration, healthier complexion and texture.
But unlike Botox or dermal fillers, facial acupuncture isn’t a quick fix of any kind. The majority of people see improvements after just a few sessions of facial acupuncture, but we recommend 6 to 12 treatments once or twice a week to see optimum and long lasting results. After that, you can go into what we call a “maintenance stage,” where you get the treatment every four to eight weeks.

SPRING REJUVENATION
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the season of renewal and growth, governed by the Wood element, which is closely linked to the Liver. This is the ideal time to detoxify, refresh, and awaken the skin after the stagnation of winter. Acupuncture during this period helps to stimulate circulation, clear toxins, and bring vibrancy back to the complexion. As we move into summer, the season of the Fire element, associated with the Heart, our focus shifts to hydration, cooling, and protecting the skin from excess heat and inflammation. By harmonising the body’s energy flow in spring, we lay the foundation for a radiant, balanced complexion that thrives through the warmer months, allowing the skin to reflect the vitality and lightness of the season.
