I offer cosmetic acupuncture as a safe and natural alternative to Botox. Cosmetic acupuncture enhances the appearance and texture of the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The well known calming effects help to reduce stress and tension, benefiting the overall health of the skin.
A session consists of facial brushing with natural bamboo brushes, facial acupuncture, inserting the smallest needles into select areas of the face. Gua sha, a smooth edged tool made of rose quartz which is used to scrape along the surface of the skin enhancing blood flow, releasing tension and assisting in the removal of toxins by promoting lymphatic drainage. Finally I use facial cups to promote healing and reduce inflammation, again the cups help with body's natural detoxification process, stimulating the lymph nodes. Cupping is a relaxing and soothing experience and aids in reducing stress and anxiety. I use 100% natural products best suited to your skin complaints, prickly pear oil for anti-aging, apricot kernel for inflammation, natural tallow for moisture and protection and skincare from The Edinburgh Natural Skincare company.

NB. For continual and permanent results it is recommended to have 2 sessions a week for 2 weeks, then once a week for 6 weeks, then ongoing maintenance of once a month/ 6 weeks in order to maintain the appearance. It is recommended to have facial acupuncture at least 5 days before a big event, as the acupuncture can lead to small, light bruising.
