Signature Acu-Facial Treatment Details
Find out more about the individual elements of our Signature Acu-Facial treatment below
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Your treatment begins with a full consultation so we can understand your skin concerns and your physical and emotional health. We'll also carry out tongue and pulse diagnosis in line with traditional Chinese medicine methods to tailor your treatment to get the best results for you.
We use body and ear acupuncture to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, reduce the impact of stress and encourage better sleep, all of which support better skin health from the inside out. After cleansing the skin we gently apply the specialist acupuncture facial needles to awaken your face and address any areas of concern. The needles are very fine and designed to give a comfortable yet effective treatment. They work to stimulate the skin's repair mechanism and trigger the body to produce collagen and elastin to repair and rejuvenate the skin and improve the signs of ageing, scarring and skin complaints. You will then relax with the LED light therapy and we will follow with a sheet mask to infuse the skin with amino acids, antioxidant extracts and hyaluronic acid followed by gua sha / facial cupping with facial oil and nourishing serums and finish with your personalised acupressure ear seed prescription.
From your first treatment your skin will be noticeably refreshed and glowing.
Dermalux LED Light Therapy
We offer industry leading Dermalux LED phototherapy treatments to support the effects of our cosmetic acupuncture and acupressure facials. The Flex MD device we use in clinic offers the 3 most clinically proven wavelengths so we're able to select the optimal combination for your skin for a truly bespoke treatment.
​
Blue Light is the most proven wavelength to destroy the bacteria which causes acne and improve skin clarity without irritation. It also has a calming effect to reduce redness and inflammation.
Red Light supercharges cell energy to accelerate repair and renewal, boost collagen synthesis, increase hydration and enhance circulation to reverse the visible signs of ageing.
Near Infrared Light (NIR) targets deeper cells to trigger the wound healing process, calm redness and irritation, reduce pigmentation and promote healthy skin.
​
Phototherapy, like photosynthesis, converts light energy into oxygen to fuel cell renewal, repair and rejuvenation and so gives outstanding results for skin texture, tone, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, rosacea, psoriasis and wound healing.
Acupressure Ear Seeds
Ear seeds have become very popular in recent years and can be seen on the ears of many a celebrity (if you look closely enough). They've actually been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine to stimulate acupuncture points on the ears. They work by applying a continuous light pressure to the relevant acupuncture points. They can also bring additional benefit by stimulating the seeds throughout the day as needed to instantly calm the mind.
Following your initial consultation we will formulate your personalised prescription for ear seeds so your treatment is unique to you. Our high quality gold ear seeds are very discreet or if you'd prefer to add some sparkle we also offer crystal ear seeds as well.
The ear seeds will enable the physical and emotional benefits of the treatment to continue even after you leave the treatment room.
