Facial Enhancement Acupuncture

What is facial enhancement acupunture (FEA)?

Facial enhancement acupunture is a holistic anti-ageing treatment. It’s sometimes referred to as cosmetic acupunture and is ideal for anyone who would like a natural approach to skin care.

FEA uses acupuncture points on and around the face to improve your skin’s elasticity. Considered a safer alternative to botox or cosmetic surgery, facial acupuncture will enhance the overall appearance of your face.

Fine needles are inserted into specific points on the face, along existing lines and wrinkles and around other parts of the body. The treatment aims to improve wellbeing, skin vitality and tone, diminish fine lines and wrinkles and lift sagging skin around the ‘jowls’ and cheek areas.

A brief history of acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the longest established and safest forms of healthcare in the world. It originated in China approximately 2,500 years ago and was used to address any imbalances in the body.

Using incredibly fine sterile needles to target the body’s meridians, acupuncture promotes the smooth flow of qi or energy around the body, helping us to avoid ill health and pain.
