Question 1

How does Cosmetic Acupuncture work?

Accepted Answer

During the treatment, ultra-fine needles are gently and painlessly placed into specific points on your face and outer ear (Auricular acupuncture).

I focus on the facial areas you want to address, such as tightening jawline muscles or smoothing smile lines and eye wrinkles. Additionally, hair-thin needles are inserted at various acupuncture points on your body to help balance your internal organs.

Along with harmonizing your internal energy flow, the needle insertion creates tiny, invisible micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, which stimulates your body's natural repair response, sending nutrient-rich blood and fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production) to the area.

This influx of fresh collagen helps tighten and tone facial muscles, leading to a noticeable improvement in fine lines and wrinkles.

Question 2

What should I expect during my Facial Enhancement Acupuncture treatment?

Accepted Answer

We begin by taking a thorough medical history and developing a customised treatment plan just for you. This plan may include additional acupuncture sessions to address any issues that arise during the consultation.

During your Facial Enhancement Acupuncture treatment, I will focus on understanding your concerns and how they relate to your overall well-being. This allows me to carefully select the most effective body and facial acupuncture points to ensure optimal results. While this treatment uses more needles than a typical acupuncture session, most are small, intradermal needles.

After you've had time to relax with the needles in place, they will be removed, and you’ll enjoy a revitalizing anti-aging lifting and sculpting face massage, along with rose quartz stone therapy. The treatment includes the use of award-winning Temple Spa products, leaving your skin glowing and rejuvenated.

Question 3

Is a full consultation required if I'm only interested in facial acupuncture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all new clients are required to undertake an initial consultation, allowing me to assess the best approach for your treatment. My method is holistic, focusing on both your body and mind. During this consultation, we’ll discuss your current health and beauty routines, along with any stressors that might be impacting you and how you feel about your appearance.

In today’s world, many people turn to quick-fix injectable treatments, which often serve as temporary solutions to deeper emotional issues. While these treatments may offer immediate visible results, they don't address the emotional aspects—like how we feel about ourselves or how we cope with aging.

In addition to treating visible skin concerns, I will create a personalized plan that nourishes you from within. This may include recommendations for collagen-boosting foods or techniques for relaxation and stress relief to utilise outside of our sessions. This holistic approach nurtures self-care, contributing to a radiant and healthy appearance.

Question 4

How many cosmetic facials will I require?

Accepted Answer

As everyone is unique, we all respond to treatments in our own way. To achieve the best results from Facial Enhancement Acupuncture, it’s recommended to follow a tailored course of treatments.

However, visible improvements can often be seen after just one session, with many patients noticing significant enhancements in skin tone and quality after only three or four visits.

Clients can also choose to have cosmetic acupuncture treatments as needed, gradually observing improvements in skin tone and condition over time. For faster results, treatments can be scheduled weekly or even multiple times a week.

Question 5

How often should I schedule facial enhancement acupuncture treatments?

Accepted Answer

"As often as you can." Acupuncture offers incredible benefits for your Body, Mind, and Spirit. By incorporating it to enhance your inner beauty, you're setting yourself up for lifelong positive effects. Think about how many people pay for a monthly gym or health club membership but only attend occasionally. For a similar cost, you can enjoy the benefits of acupuncture every month or every six weeks, after your initial course of recommended weekly treatments.

Question 6

How much notice do I need to give, if I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

24 hours notice is required for cancellation or a charge may be levied.

Question 7

Is it safe to get Facial Enhancement Acupuncture if I’ve had Botox?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but we must wait at least 12 weeks after your last Botox injection. This waiting period is based on three key factors: the potential interaction between Botox and acupuncture, the possibility of an adverse event where the cause may be unclear (such as attributing a Botox side effect to acupuncture), and the potential for acupuncture to diminish the effects of the Botox.

Question 8

Is it safe to have Facial Enhancement Acupuncture if I have fillers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can receive Facial Enhancement Acupuncture if you have fillers. However, it's advised to wait at least six weeks after treatments like Hyaluronic acid fillers to allow them to fully settle before starting facial acupuncture, ensuring there is no swelling, pain, infection, or any signs of complications. This helps ensure that the acupuncture won’t affect the filler placement or cause any issues.

Question 9

What results can you expect?

Accepted Answer

Unlike treatments like BOTOX®, which can have various side effects, cosmetic acupuncture provides a natural, holistic solution to anti-aging. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles while promoting overall skin health.

A series of treatments is required for noticeable results. Many patients report feeling healthier, sleeping better, having brighter eyes, and experiencing a greater sense of balance—positive "side effects" we love!

After completing a course of sessions, you can look forward to not just a glowing appearance, but also a sense of balance and happiness.
