Vivienne, owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/place\/primo-herb\/\">Primo Herb<\/a>, explains, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/places\/treatment-acupuncture\/offer-type-local\/in-london-uk\/\">facial acupuncture<\/a> increases circulation in the face and promotes collagen production\u201d &#8211; 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>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What actually happens in an acupuncture session?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sounds good, but does it hurt?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">your<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> skin\u2019s specific needs,\u201d Vivienne adds, \u201cso it\u2019s suitable for all skin types\u201d.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-37275-1\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/treatment-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2020\/10\/ashleygraham_78711735_239801053667396_7759044034919855349_n.mp4\">https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/treatment-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2020\/10\/ashleygraham_78711735_239801053667396_7759044034919855349_n.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h6>Instagram: @ashleygraham<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How often should I get acupuncture?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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.
