Cosmetic Therapy
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure using thin needles. The procedure can help reduce the appearance of skin concerns such as acne scars, stretch marks or wrinkles. Most people get microneedling for cosmetic purposes, but it can also help with some medical conditions.
Most people get microneedling on their face, but you can also get it on your legs, back, neck or other areas where you notice damaged or aging skin. You’ll probably need multiple treatments to achieve your desired results.
Who gets microneedling?
Microneedling has cosmetic and medical uses. You might consider microneedling if you’re concerned about:
- Enlarged pores.
- Fine lines or wrinkles.
- Loose or crepey (thin and wrinkled) skin.
- Mild scars, especially those from acne or burns.
- Skin discoloration or uneven skin tone.
- Stretch marks.
The procedure can also help people who have medical conditions such as:
- Alopecia areata (hair loss due to an autoimmune disease).
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Facial Enhancement Acupuncture (FEA)
Facial enhancement acupuncture targets points and muscles of the face in order to improve the elasticity of the skin and general overall appearance, as well as addressing constitutional points on the legs, arms and body to balance and harmonise the inner elements.
As well as significantly improving the cosmetic appearance, facial acupuncture also has a strong whole body effect on the health and wellbeing of the person treated.
Considered a safer alternative to botox or cosmetic surgery, facial acupuncture will enhance the overall appearance of your face.
Fine needles are inserted into specific points on the face, along existing lines and wrinkles and around other parts of the body. The treatment aims to improve wellbeing, skin vitality and tone, diminish fine lines and wrinkles and lift sagging skin around the ‘jowls’ and cheek areas.
Uses for facial enhancement acupuncture
As well as enhancing the appearance of your facial skin, FEA can also help to:
- Reduce acne, eczema and rosacea
- Produce natural collagen within the skin
- Lift the face, brows and jowls
- Decrease the appearance of laughter lines
- Improve your overall health and wellbeing
- Improve the quality of your sleep
- Make you feel more balanced
