Cosmetic Acupuncture
Let's go Beyond Botox. Cosmetic acupuncture gently lifts, relaxes and firms facial muscles giving the face and neck more definition. Those pesky mouth and frown lines are softened, undereye bags and shadows are dispersed and facial colour is improved. As within, so without - traditional needling on body points stimulates and improves your natural energy and deals with patterns which affect your complexion. Result : glowing skin.
Our faces hold the key to much of what is going on inside the body and its lines can be read like a book. Those frown lines are often a sign of liver congestion and a centre line on the forehead indicates an overtaxed spleen. How much and what we eat makes a huge difference, so I suggest diet and lifestyle changes which, over time, make the lines less pronounced.
Facial acupuncture is also brilliant for anyone who grinds their teeth.

Gua Sha Face Lift Massage The combination of acupressure massage with Chinese jade stones, jade rollers and a blend of rejuvenating aromatherapy oils clears what the Chinese call 'stagnation' - the restricted flow of blood, oxygen,fluid and toxins which cause dull skin. Whilst botox freezes your face muscles, Gua Sha massage unfreezes them, improves lymphatic drainage and puffiness and blissfully releases the tension in your face and neck.
As well as using the jade stones, I lift and massage all the major muscles on the face drawing on my study of Chinese facial massage techniques as well as acupressure points for detoxing, and giving the face a more fluid, not fixed, youthful look.

Derma Roller Micro Needling creates more supportive collagen which keeps your skin firm and enhances the absorption of moisturizing and rejuvenating skincare products. This treatment also helps stretch marks and acne scars.
Each roller is completely sterile and used for that patient only so there is no risk of infection. My Derma Rolling technique is very gentle and does not cause breakouts or side effects, apart from some redness which is gone in a few hours. The treatment is followed by my magic FutureFace Nourishing Balm - small pots can be bought for use at home after treatment. The derma roller treatment helps the balm to sink in, as well as your usual skincare creams.

Chinese Face Reading Diagnosis of the Facial Zones, colours, features and lines of your face with face reading allows me review your health and to tailor individual dietary advice to support your cosmetic treatments, to look your best and slow down the ageing process. Face Reading reveals how to optimise your skin's condition by working from the inside as well as the outside. It's a non-invasive diagnostic which gives me immediate information about our energy, organs, toxicity, digestion, hormones, food intolerances and persistent emotions which can affect you.
Facefeed Here's a list of foods which nourish your skin. Eating these regularly enhances the effect of the treatments so you can 'hit the ground running' when you come for Cosmetic Acupuncture and Face Lift Massage. As you know, I don't like the expression 'anti-ageing' and I feel the same about the much -used term 'superfood'. After all, a cabbage is a superfood. (I don't like the word 'pampering' either, but that's another story). These are easy to obtain foods which fight wrinkles and dehydration from the inside. From your Face Reading I then add individual dietary recommendations (common-sense and do-able) based on what's showing in your Facial Zones.
Add Oily fish, avocados, almonds, papaya, red and blue berries, olive oil, green tea, sunflower seeds, probiotic yoghurt, pumpkin seeds, watermelon,watercress, lots of green vegetables - lots of vegetables - walnuts, red peppers, tomato, black rice, broccoli, sweet potatoes, wild salmon, organic free range eggs, sardines, pure water (a litre per day with a dash of lemon or lime), green smoothies and juices without much fruit, seaweed. If you are veggie, legumes, nuts, organic soya, seaweeds, tempeh, seeds.
Subtract Refined white flour products (bread, cakes, biscuits, muffins, pizza). Sugar -- yes you heard me! Giving up sugar COMPLETELY takes 5 years off your face. Heavy cheeses, eating late at night, excess dairy products, coffee.
