What are the benefits?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Facial acupuncture is a great non-surgical alternative for slowing down the ageing process. Vivienne, owner of Primo Herb<\/a>, explains, \u201cfacial acupuncture<\/a> increases circulation in the face and promotes collagen production\u201d – two key factors in achieving youthful-looking skin. The micro-wounds left by the needles kickstart the regeneration process and increase blood flow and oxygen, keeping the skin from looking puffy or tired.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

What actually happens in an acupuncture session?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not just about sticking needles into your skin, willy-nilly, so don\u2019t try it at home. Before your treatment starts, your therapist will discuss your skin\u2019s needs and what you\u2019d like to improve. Then, up to 80 (yep, really) needles are gently inserted into certain pressure points across the body. You\u2019ll sit back and relax while the needles get to work (believe me, it\u2019s much easier than it sounds) before the needles are carefully removed.<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sounds good, but does it hurt?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vivienne notes you might feel a little pain during your first session, but it should be relaxing too. Some treatments include a mask and a massage to soothe the skin and help you feel seriously relaxed. \u201cEverything is tailored to <\/span>your<\/span><\/i> skin\u2019s specific needs,\u201d Vivienne adds, \u201cso it\u2019s suitable for all skin types\u201d.<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

How often should I get acupuncture?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Needles aren\u2019t everyone\u2019s idea of a good time, so start off with one session and see how you get on, especially if you\u2019re feeling nervous. When you\u2019re won over (yep, we\u2019re that confident), Vivienne suggests a course of six, one treatment a week. You can even up it to twice a week during the winter months when your skin needs a little extra TLC.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the results?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Acupuncture<\/a> isn\u2019t a quick fix, it can take up to six weeks to really see the benefits.\u00a0 Consistency and patience are key – and it\u2019s worth it. We\u2019re talking brighter, firmer skin and less stress and tension in the body (feeling less stressed is good news for your skin, too<\/a>). Sounds pretty great, if you ask us.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\n

What are the main benefits of facial acupuncture?<\/h3>\n

Facial acupuncture helps slow down the ageing process by increasing circulation and promoting collagen production in your skin. The tiny needles create micro-wounds that kickstart regeneration, boost blood flow and oxygen, and help prevent puffiness or tired-looking skin.<\/div>\n

\n

How many needles do you get in a facial acupuncture session?<\/h3>\n

During a session, up to 80 needles can be gently inserted into specific pressure points across your body. This technique is designed to target areas for skin improvement while you relax, and all needles are carefully removed after the treatment.<\/div>\n

\n

Does facial acupuncture hurt during the treatment?<\/h3>\n

You might feel a little pain, especially in your first session, but treatments are generally relaxing. Some sessions include a mask and massage to soothe your skin, making the experience comfortable and tailored to your skin’s needs.<\/div>\n

\n

How often should you have facial acupuncture?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s best to start with one session to see how you feel, particularly if you\u2019re nervous around needles. For best results, a course of six treatments \u2014 one a week \u2014 is recommended, and you can increase to twice a week in winter months for extra care.<\/div>\n

\n

How long does it take to see results from facial acupuncture?<\/h3>\n

It can take up to six weeks of consistent treatments to see the full benefits. With patience and regular sessions, you can expect brighter, firmer skin and reduced stress and tension in your body.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
