Facial Acupuncture

What is cosmetic acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural and gentle beauty treatment that combines the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine with a modern focus on skin rejuvenation. This holistic therapy can help improve the look and feel of your skin by stimulating circulation, boosting collagen production, and reducing visible signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Many clients in Notting Hill choose cosmetic acupuncture as a safe and effective non-surgical alternative to Botox and fillers. For those who already use aesthetic treatments, cosmetic acupuncture can also be a complementary option (allowing at least 6 weeks between procedures), supporting long-term skin health and vitality.

This gentle yet powerful treatment not only targets cosmetic concerns but also promotes overall wellbeing, leaving your skin looking refreshed, radiant, and naturally youthful. If you are looking for facial acupuncture in Notting Hill or a natural anti-ageing treatment in West London, cosmetic acupuncture could be the perfect choice.

During a cosmetic acupuncture treatment in Notting Hill, ultra-fine needles are gently inserted into specific points on the face, neck, and sometimes other areas of the body. These acupuncture points are carefully selected to boost energy flow (Qi), improve blood circulation, and encourage natural skin rejuvenation.

2. What are the benefits of cosmetic acupuncture?

-Cosmetic acupuncture is a holistic, non-surgical approach to skin health and anti-ageing. Benefits may include:

-Softening fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

-Brighter, clearer complexion, helping with common concerns such as acne or rosacea.

-Natural alternative to Botox and fillers, supporting skin vitality without invasive procedures.

-Overall wellbeing, as treatments also balance your body’s energy for improved health and relaxation.

3. How many cosmetic acupuncture sessions do I need?

Most clients in Notting Hill begin with a series of sessions to achieve noticeable results. The number of treatments depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. Typically, a course of treatments is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions to prolong results.

4. Is cosmetic acupuncture safe?

Yes. When performed by a licensed and experienced acupuncturist, cosmetic acupuncture is very safe. Mild redness or slight bruising may occasionally occur at the needle points, but these effects usually fade quickly.

5. Does cosmetic acupuncture really work?

Results vary from person to person. Many clients report visible improvements in skin tone, reduced fine lines, and an overall fresher appearance. For some, the results are subtle yet noticeable, while others experience more dramatic changes. The added benefit is that it improves both skin health and overall wellbeing.
