Acupuncture

Why Acupuncture?

If you are looking for safe, effective and pain free results for a variety of conditions, based on techniques refined in China over thousands of years you have reached your destination. Often local trauma is an indicator of deeper internal imbalances.

Acupuncture provides safe and effective results for a variety of conditions by helping restore internal balance. Acupuncture gets right to the site of the problem eliminating the pain spasm cycle and facilitating rapid recovery. Treatments can be provided as an excellent compliment to your existing healthcare.

A muscle tear may be a result of the liver not revitalising nutrients in the blood. By treating only locally it is probable that the injury could occur elsewhere. Supporting the internal organs to increase blood flow has many benefits.

For optimal results, subsequent recovery should include local treatment as well as supporting the internal organs wherever they have imbalances. This holistic approach helps to prevent re injury and reduces the chances of injury or ill health occurring elsewhere.

Depending on the condition and your preferences, treatment may consist of combined acupuncture or acupressure, cupping and herbal patches for optimal results.

How Many Needles?

Most acupuncture treatments are provided using very few needles (2 or 3) these are hair fine, single use and generally completely pain free. Your comfort is a priority. If you prefer acupressure patent herbal patches and cupping this is also available.

FACIAL REJUVENATION ACUPUNCTURE

What is it?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a safe, non-surgical way for women and men to reduce signs of ageing whilst revitalizing your whole body.

Apart from the natural processes of ageing, looking older can be affected by many things – sun damage, smoking, hormone imbalance, menopause, emotional stress, habitual expressions, digestive problems, illness and more.

How it works?

Hair thin needles are inserted into specific points on the face and body to access the body’s own healing energy to repair and re-energize.

The needles stimulate cellular metabolism and the production of collagen and elastin resulting in firmer skin and diminished facial wrinkles; increased circulation of the blood, lymph and qi to the face improving muscle tone, skin texture and colour. Better metabolism reduces puffiness around the eyes and face and improves hormonal balance thus helping decrease acne.

Side Effects

Bruising can occur due to the rich blood supply to the face. To minimize chances of bruising, only very high quality, thin needles are use on the face.
