Facial Enhancement Acupuncture

Acupuncture, an ancient healing practice, utilises fine needles and can be used to treat various issues. See below for the many ways it can be beneficial.

Facial Gua Sha Massage

  • Facial gua sha massage is an ancient beauty technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves using a smooth, flat tool, often made of jade, rose quartz, or other healing stones, to gently scrape the skin in upward and outward strokes. The massage is performed on the face, neck, and décolletage.

    The practice aims to promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, improve blood circulation, and release muscle tension. The gentle pressure helps to lift and sculpt the face, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance the skin’s natural glow. Regular gua sha massages are believed to improve overall skin health by increasing nutrient and oxygen delivery to skin cells and promoting detoxification.

    The process is typically soothing and meditative, often incorporated into a skincare routine with the application of facial oils or serums to ensure the tool glides smoothly across the skin. The result is a more relaxed, toned, and radiant complexion.

  • Acupuncture can be beneficial for neurological issues such as neuropathy and multiple sclerosis (MS) by promoting nerve function, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain.

    Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body, known as acupoints, which can help regulate the nervous system and improve nerve signalling. This stimulation can enhance blood circulation to the affected areas, supplying vital nutrients and oxygen to damaged nerves, and promoting nerve regeneration and repair.

    Additionally, acupuncture can help reduce inflammation in the nervous system, which is often associated with conditions like neuropathy and MS. By modulating the body's inflammatory response, acupuncture can help alleviate symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness.

    Furthermore, acupuncture sessions can help manage pain associated with neurological conditions by stimulating the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that act as natural pain relievers.

    Overall, acupuncture offers a holistic approach to managing neurological issues, addressing both the symptoms and underlying imbalances in the body's energy system, and promoting overall well-being and quality of life for individuals with neuropathy and MS.

    By improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, acupuncture enhances the quality of the uterine lining and ovarian function, facilitating the maturation of follicles and the release of healthy eggs.

    Additionally, acupuncture can reduce stress and anxiety levels, which can negatively impact fertility by affecting hormone production and interfering with ovulation.
