What to Expoect

Week 1 + 2
From experience with patients in the clinic, results of hydrated, softened and glowing skin are visible within 1 – 2 weeks. One of the most common feedback we get is that patients say that even after the first treatment they find their skin has become softer with enhanced blood flow. Their skin is hydrated and dryness disappears– this is due to the instant blood flow that arrives to the face and skin during facial acupuncture, oxygenating the cells and boosting oxygen and nutrient transfer to the skin. After a session or two we will start working on motor points will see that the muscles in the face are more relaxed and tension in brow and jawline is softening. There is increased colour in the face and a brightened complexion.
Week 3 + 4
At 3 – 4 weeks, a lifting and tightening sensation in the muscles can be reported in weakened, droopy muscles. The skin feels more refined and is softer with that post acu facial glow Some women tell us at this point that their make up is looking nicer and staying on for longer- this is due to the increased hydration of the skin. Fine lines are beginning to soften and the skin is visibly brighter
Week 5 to 7
The results of the stimulation of collagen with Cosmetic Acupuncture becomes evident at 5 – 7 weeks, deeper lines are beginning to soften. The soft tissue of the face feels firmer and denser and the face may look and feel plumper. Muscles in the face will feel lifted and eyes will free brighter and more open.
Week 8 to 12
It can be expected that the best overall changes happen between 8 – 12 weeks. The face continues to feel firmer with increased blood flow. Lines have softened and skin looks plump, hydrated and taut. The complexion is even, pores are smaller, and redness diminished.
Maintenance
1. Following your initial course of treatment we recommend top up maintenance treatments every 4-8 weeks.

Results depend on your own body’s ability to respond to the stimulation that the facial needles and treatment provide. It is generally accepted that the healthier you are, the more optimal your results will be as your body’s response system is at its best.

Facial Acupuncture treatments are cumulative, meaning the benefits continue to add to each other and results enhance each treatment. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 4 to 8 weeks depending on your age and skin type. The results achieved, when maintained, can last for years but this is not a replacement for surgical procedures and is not botox.
