Facial Rejuvenation Journey (Cosmetic acupuncture)
Begin by receiving a relaxing acupressure massage on the upper back, neck and shoulders using essential oils to release any deep tension and correct imbalances in the tissues to restore Qi and blood flow to the head and face.
Cupping may also be applied to back and shoulders if indicated to release tension.
Acupuncture needles are then inserted into selected points on the body, face and scalp to support complexion and correct imbalances.
In this treatment specialised facial needles are used which are shorter and finer than those used on the body and there is a strong emphasis on needling the face with up to 30-40 needles in the face alone.

In these sessions time and care is taken to explain things a way the child will understand and feels safe and comfortable to receive while there parent or guardian is present.
Our initial session together is to build some report and explain the different types of tools that I might use (massage, cupping, acupuncture and gua Sha ).
Once we have decided TOGETHER what we will do in the session the treatment will usually involve some gentle techniques to stimulate different meridian pathways and acupuncture points on the body including massage, gua Sha and cupping (small silicone cups if under 13yrs)
IF the child has indicated they are happy to have acupuncture then small needles will be inserted into 1 to 4 points. Depending on there age of the child the needles may not need to be retained and only inserted and removed quickly.
