In the west, in a quest for beauty, we are often seeking “youthful beauty”. What Chinese Medicine offers is “healthful beauty”. We work on purifying within and consequently expressing radiance in the face.
What’s involved
- The practitioner gaining a deep insight into your overall health.
- Body acupuncture aimed to work with cellular memory, and access deep reservoirs of energy.
- Facial acupuncture to increase muscle tone, promote blood circulation, help eliminate fine lines and diminish larger wrinkles.
- Interdermal needling of wrinkles to stimulate firoblasts – a precursor to collagen production.*
- Renewal mask containing Chinese herbs to stimulate blood flow and deeply nourish and tone the skin.
- Antioxidant containing cream or essential oil to moisturise the skin and, to complete the treatment, a jade roller.
- Diet and lifestyle advice to support the health of your body and rejuvenation of your face
* According to a 2008 study in the Journal of Chinese Medicine.
