Acu facial
-
Experience the rejuvenating benefits of facial acupuncture, designed to revitalise skin's appearance while harmonising the body and mind.
This facial treatment uses acupuncture to stimulate collagen production, smooth fine lines, release tension and improve your skin's firmness and texture. Beyond its cosmetic benefits, this treatment also addresses skin concerns such as acne and rosacea, offering a comprehensive solution for a wide range of skin conditions.
The acu facial begins with a double cleanse, followed by the gentle insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific acupoints on the face, head and ears. During a cosmetic acupuncture treatment, other points on the body are needled to ground the treatment and to avoid energy congestion in the face. Starting with the body means that you experience a full flow of energy that helps support the facial acupuncture. The practice allows other health complaints to be addressed at the same time. This often leaves the client with feelings of overall improved wellbeing, better sleep, more energy, and improved resilience.
Complemented by LED light therapy, the treatment further amplifies its healing effects. Can also incorporate facial massage techniques including cupping and gua sha, and finishing products.
For optimal results, a series of sessions is recommended based on individual needs and desired outcomes. Generally 6-10 treatments are advised for long lasting luminosity on a fortnightly basis. Or, come just the once or occasionally for a relaxing and glow-enhancing experience!

LED light therapy facial
-
LED (Dermalux) light therapy is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of skin complaints in which different wavelengths of light penetrate the skin to varying depths. It effectively improves skin health, rejuvenates cells, stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, fades pigmentation and scarring, and can kill acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface. Combine an LED light session with acupuncture to target skin and body simultaneously and get the most out of your slot. Or, book an LED session on its own for maintenance and relaxation. The longer session includes a double cleanse, mini facial massage and finishing products.
