Facial rejuvenation acupuncture (also known as facial revitilisation or cosmetic face-lift acupuncture) has been used in China for thousands of years to treat the face and whole body, leaving you looking and feeling younger. It has become increasingly popular in the West, for both men and women, as it is a safe and much cheaper option to cosmetic surgery. The treatment is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and involves the insertion of hair thin needles into particular areas of the face and body.
What are the effects?
FRA may erase as many as five to fifteen years from the face, with results apparent after just a few treatments. It can:-
eliminate fine lines
diminish wrinkles
reduce bags
firm jowels
eliminate puffiness
lift eyelids
minimise double chin
Other benefits include increased collagen production, blood and lymph circulation, muscle tone and dermal contraction, tightening of pores, brightening of eyes, improving hormonal balance and reduction of stress evident in the face.
What is involved?
An initial consultation will identify your individual needs and the areas you would like treating. A few questions on general health and medical history will determine any underlying problems that need to be addressed. During the treatment, various techniques may be used such a warming with moxa, face massage, electro-acupuncture, tui-na and derma rollers. The treatment usually ends with a short shoulder massage or foot massage.
How much does it cost?
This is the good part, it's just a fraction of the cost of surgery, and with occasional maintenance treatments, effects can be long lasting. A course of 10 is recommended for best results. Please see fees page for up to date treatment costs.
