The system I use is 'Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal', developed by Mary Elizabeth Wakefield and based on the work of the French acupuncturist, Jacques Lavier. The face is a mirror of the body, mind and emotions. As well as addressing your concerns about facial aging, underlying imbalances in these three areas are treated. I create an individually tailored treatment to maximise the benefits to your health and facial appearance. I encourage clients to make positive lifestyle changes to enhance their treatment outcomes.
Potential benefits: Reduces symptoms of Bell's Palsy, neuropathies and TMJ • Improves muscle tone • Fills out sunken areas • Reduces double chin • Firms sagging neck, lifts drooping mouth and eyelids • Eliminates oedema, reducing under eye bags • Tightens pores and brightens the eyes • Increases local blood and lymph circulation • Improves facial colour and radiance • Reduces stress, improves general health and well-being.
In addition, the benefits of a constitutional treatment which addresses your specific health imbalances.
A detailed history is taken and TCM diagnosis is made. You choose the area/s of concern you would like me to work on. The treatment begins with a facial massage using pure organic jojoba oil with appropriately selected essential oils. Unlike other facial acupuncture treatments, facial needling in this system is minimal. I use very high quality, ultra-fine Seirin needles in all treatments.
To achieve optimal results, I would recommend an initial course of 10 weekly treatments. Follow up treatments at 4 to 6 week intervals will help to maintain the benefits.
