Specific treatments that focus on improving ones' facial appearance are the primary reason for seeking Aesthetic Acupuncture. With the safe and effective methods used in our clinic we can assist in the management and possible disappearance of:

Decreased muscular tone: resulting in bags under the eyes, sagging cheeks, drooping eyelids, and double chins. Acupuncture is an exceptional method for promoting circulation in order to nourish the facial muscles and firm the skin, and assist in a youthful appearence .
Unwanted wrinkles and scars: This may include previous surgical scars or just general wrinkles from the ageing process. Areas of specific focus are the “crows' feet” and surrounding eye area (including eyebrows), wrinkles on the upper and lower lip, frown lines, and wrinkles on the forehead.
Discolouration and skin dryness – which are very common in the colder and dryer months of the year. Pale, red, face, “drinkers' nose”, darkness under the eyes, excessive rosy cheeks, and generalised dry skin.
