HEALING SPA TREATMENT UPDATE WOODLANDS NOW OFFERS ACUPUNCTURE!

The Acupuncture Facelift

An Anti-ageing Holistic Treatment

 

Cosmetic or ‘beauty acupuncture’ is a holistic alternative to Botox and surgery. It is an extension of traditional acupuncture, which stimulates and rebalances the body’s meridians (energy channels) and incorporates a facial treatment to improve blood circulation and lymph drainage. 


Facial acupuncture has a long history of cosmetic use, practised during the Chinese Sung Dynasty (960AD – 1270AD) and used as a beauty treatment by the Empress and the Emperor’s concubines. It has numerous health benefits and it can help you look five-15 years younger. 

The Benefits of Facial Acupuncture 

• Helps stop wrinkles forming and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
• Increases blood and lymph circulation. 
• Stimulates your cells to create collagen. 
• Reduces puffiness and dark circles beneath the eyes. 
• Lessens tension in the neck and shoulders, which is reflected in the face.
• Helps re-moisturise the skin and rebalances hormones   naturally.
• Reduces stress and tension in the body, promoting your overall health & wellbeing.

A study of 300 people* treated with cosmetic acupuncture found that over 90% had improved skin tone after one series of treatments. Their skin was more elastic, rosier, and wrinkles and fine lines were reduced. 

A Facial Acupuncture Treatment 

The treatment will be tailored according to your health and skin condition. The initial session starts with a medical consultation to focus on any areas of the face that require attention. The therapist will then check your pulse rate and examine your tongue.


Facial acupuncture is deeply relaxing to receive and the needles don’t hurt. There may be mild bruising around some of the points on the face but this will fade naturally. During the session you may experience a subtle change in energy flow as the needles begin to stimulate the body’s energy channels. 

How Many Acupuncture Sessions? 

You will notice a difference after a couple of treatments but a course of six weekly sessions is recommended for the best results. Ongoing sessions every month or so will help to maintain the results. You can boost the effects of the treatment at home by doing facial massage with organic oils, and by focusing on diet and exercise. Think of it as a long-term investment in your health and wellbeing!
