FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
Facial acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture, involves the gentle insertion of fine acupuncture needles into specific points on the face and neck as part of a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach. Our practitioners aim to support overall facial comfort and well-being while also addressing factors such as local circulation and tissue response.
​
During a session, our practitioner will discuss your health history and treatment goals with you before applying targeted acupuncture to the face and (where appropriate) body. Individual responses can vary, and facial acupuncture should be used as part of a holistic care plan.
​
Some clients seek facial acupuncture to support perceived relaxation, well-being, and comfort in the facial area. Individual experiences with any therapy, including acupuncture, can differ.
​
​
What Clients May Seek Support For
People may choose facial acupuncture for a range of reasons, including:
-
Supporting facial comfort and a sense of relaxation
-
Encouraging circulation in the face and neck areas
-
Supporting a refreshed or balanced feeling after the session
-
Complementing other health or skincare approaches
​
Everyone’s experience is unique, and outcomes are not guaranteed.

After Your Facial Acupuncture Session
After your session, you might find it helpful to:
-
Stay hydrated and rest if needed
-
Follow any personalised guidance from our practitioner
-
Communicate any unexpected or unusual sensations at follow‑up appointments
​
These suggestions are intended to support your comfort after the session. Responses to therapy may vary.
​
​
How Many Sessions May Be Recommended
The number of facial acupuncture sessions recommended depends on individual factors such as your goals, skin characteristics, lifestyle, and response to treatment. Some people choose to begin with a series of sessions scheduled over weeks, while others opt for occasional appointments. Our practitioner will discuss a personalised plan with you.

How should I look after my skin after treatment?
Sunscreen, sunscreen, and more sunscreen!
There is nothing more harmful to the skin than UV rays on your face after treatment. Applying sunscreen even on a cloudy day is very important!​
​​
​
How long do the effects of facial acupuncture last after I finish my treatment plan?
Again, this depends on your age, diet, lifestyle, exercise and how you take care of your skin after the course of treatment. The known standard effect is up to 12 months.
