Facial revitalisation is a cost effective*, contemporary approach to reduce the signs of ageing and slow up the ageing process. Used by models at the Hale Clinic in London and by the famous in Hollywood, such as Madonna , it is a safe, gentle alternative to botox or surgery. It helps to eliminate fine facial lines and makes the deeper lines look softer. It improves muscle tone, tightens the skin, reduces the double chin look and reduces bags under the eyes. It does this by increasing blood circulation to the face and growing new collagen and elastin in the skin. Regular treatment on young skin will slow down the aging process so that you can have a younger looking face for longer.

What if I have had Botox?
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture will not interfere with botox and may help maintain its effects for longer.

The course of treatment:
There will be a short diagnostic session before treatment begins in which you will be asked questions about your general lifestyle, medical issues and diet.

The treatment involves inserting very fine needles into acupuncture points and facial lines\wrinkles on the face. The needles are left for 20 minutes before they are gently removed.

Because facial rejuvenation acupuncture is stimulating new collagen and elastin growth, a course of 6 treatments is required over a period of 3 months to get the full benefit (a one hour session every 2 weeks). After this it is recommended that you have one maintenance treatment every two months.

Each individual will respond differently to treatment depending on their age and lifestyle.

There are also treatments for:
Acne
Acne Rosacea
Eczema
Psoriasis
Warts

* A study in 1996 in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects included: the skin becoming delicate and fair, improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles and levelling of wrinkles, a ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation.*
