Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture (sometimes referred to as Cosmetic Acupuncture) is a safe, effective, non-surgical treatment to help reduce the signs of ageing.

It is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The procedure involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles into the acupuncture points on the face. This will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.

  • Minimise or eliminate fine lines
  • Reduce frown lines
  • Lift sagging skin, puffy or droopy eyelids
  • Make your face look 5-10 years younger
  • Tighten the pores and brighten the eyes
  • Even facial colour and tone
  • Improve muscle tone
