Facial Acupuncture - Rejuvenation for your skin

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years for a wide variety of health issues.  It has also been widely used for cosmetic purposes.

By using acupuncture points on the face, head and neck it is possible to improve the appearance of wrinkles, lines, jowls and pores.  The elasticity of the skin can be boosted as well as achieving an overall lifting effect.

A course of approximately eight treatments are necessary to achieve these visible results, with an occasional ‘top-up’ treatment to help maintain the results.

Cosmetic Acupuncture can help with a variety of skin issues such as acne, eczema, cellulite, sagging skin, prickly heat, sweating and vitiligo.

During your first consultation you will be asked about different aspects of your health and lifestyle so that an appropriate treatment plan can be developed especially for your skin.  Subtle changes to your diet can also support your treatment and you may be given some ‘homework’ to assist in your skins’ rejuvenation.

Facial acupuncture treatment is available in both the Harrogate and York acupuncture clinics.  You should allow two hours for your first treatment and one and a half hours for subsequent treatments thereafter. 

Please take the opportunity to contact Alex to ask any questions regarding facial and cosmetic acupuncture so that you can be certain it is the correct treatment for your particular concern.
