ACUPUNCTURE
Body acupuncture point selection based on your Chinese Medicine diagnosis, to address your individual internal imbalances, maximise your body’s responsiveness to the Cosmetic Acupuncture needling, and enhance your ‘beauty from within’.
COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE

The needles we use are single-use surgical grade stainless steel, and the selection of facial acupuncture points is always individualised and based upon your unique areas of concern.

WARM COMPRESS
After the Cosmetic acupuncture needles are removed, a warm facial compress is applied to further encourage blood circulation and gently remove any excess oil that was used during the facial massage.
JADE FACE ROLLER + FACIAL MIST
Conclusion of the treatment then follows with a facial mist applied with the gentle flowing strokes of a Chinese Jade or Rose Quartz facial roller.
The facial mist contains vitamin C to further promote the collagen production stimulated by the needling, plus chamomile, aloe vera, and rose water to soothe, tone, and provide an hydration boost.
Jade and rose quartz facial rollers are naturally soothing, anti-inflammatory, and cooling in property, and help ‘seal’ the treatment by encouraging closure of the facial pores while also stimulating lymphatic drainage of the face and neck.
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE (optional)
During a Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment, Chinese herbal medicine is often prescribed to address particular conditions from an internal aspect (such as rosacea, acne, eczema, or ageing) - and is an additional cost to the consultation.
