FAQ
Does Cosmetic Acupuncture hurt?
No, it does not hurt. Super fine needles are used, often finer than half a strand of your hair! Many clients report how relaxing a session is and unexpectantly find they sleep better, feel more energised, and report an overall balanced feeling.
Is there any downtime to Cosmetic Acupuncture?
There is no downtime associated with facial acupuncture. We do recommend being gentle with your body after a session as the effect of acupuncture continues to work even after the needles have been taken out. It's very rare, but very minor and temporary bruising may occur at the site of needle insertion.
What type of needles do you use for Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Very fine, single use, sterile and disposable needles are used for all procedures. A combination of highest quality acupuncture needles are used and are made in either Japan or Germany.

How does Cosmetic Acupuncture work?
Cosmetic Acupuncture helps restore the qi (energy) and blood to the face whilst helping correct internal imbalances. Acupuncture needles help increase the production of collagen and increase circulation which leads to more oxygenation and hydration of the skin. Body points are also integrated in a treatment session to help bring your body to a state of balance and to help decelerate the ageing process from within.
How soon can I expect results from Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Results will vary person to person. We recommend a course of 10 treatments every week where possible, and then move to a maintenance program every 4-8 weeks. The healthier you are and better you look after yourself will help you get faster and better results. Unlike Botox and fillers, nothing is being injected into your face. Needles are inserted at certain locations to help:
stimulate collagen
encourage the flow of vital energy
loosen tight muscles
