Rejuvenating facial acupuncture is a combination of Gua Sha stone massage on the face with natural serum followed by super fine acupuncture needles on specific points on the face, and additional acupuncture points along the body. Once the needles have been set you will be left to enjoy pure relaxation by candlelight. Your acupuncturist will check in on you periodically and will return near the end of your treatment to remove the needles and close out your service.
Please note the focus of this specialized service is cosmetic acupuncture with several points being administered on the face. This service does not include traditional facial elements such as deep skin cleansing, detoxifying, steaming, extraction etc.

Benefits Of Cosmetic Acupuncture Facials
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

- Improves muscle tone and integrity

Facial acupuncture is a natural way to rejuvenate and increase the glow of your skin. By inserting incredibly fine disposable needles into specific points on the face, skin is stimulated creating a healing response from the body including the production of collagen.
As we age, collagen in the skin naturally declines causing sagging, dullness and deepening of fine line and wrinkles. By stimulating the production of collagen we can improve the structure and elasticity of the skin, plump up fine lines, and give the skin a healthy glow. Facial acupuncture treatments can reduce premature aging naturally without the need for surgical interference and with no pain or side effects.

Every session begins with a discussion about lifestyle: sleep and stress, emotions and energy - looking at the internal issues that may be manifesting externally. All facial acupuncture treatments have a holistic approach with additional acupuncture points along the body to address and target the root causes of imbalances.
Each Rejuvenating Facial Acupuncture session includes an incredibly relaxing and therapeutic Gua Sha stone facial. This renewing treatment is administered through unidirectional stroking with a polished stone tool applied to the face and neck to improve circulation, encourage lymphatic drainage, release tense muscles (jaw/ neck etc), sculpt contours, and give skin a beautiful healthy glow.
For long lasting results multiple facial acupuncture treatments booked close together are recommended. Book in for a complimentary 20 minute facial consultation to discuss a plan that fits your goals perfectly.

Perfect whether you are an expecting mama or not, this beautiful treatment is a mix of a skin revitalizing Gua Sha Facial and restorative healing acupuncture. Enjoy pure relaxation with our Gua Sha Glow service intended to refresh your skin, soothe the body, and calm the mind creating an overall glow through the healing properties of Eastern medicine.
Each Gua Sha Glow Facial takes place in our candlelit private treatment rooms with soft meditative music playing to encourage a sense of calm for mamas and mamas-to-be. Treatments will begin with a renewing Gua Sha facial, an ancient beauty ritual combining a rose quartz stone with all natural serum gently gliding over the seven facial zones in succession.
The Gua Sha facial increases microcirculation enabling the skin to self-hydrate and deliver colour, oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Gua Sha also firms, lifts and tones the skin while smoothing, plumping and delivering an overall brightening prenatal glow.
Once this ritual is complete, you will enjoy acupuncture on points along the body to relieve stress and anxiety, calm the nervous system and bring total relaxation. Additional points can be targeted to help ease any common ailments such as insomnia, pregnancy symptoms, energy levels etc. This part of the treatment is tailored specifically to your individual health and vitality needs. Treatments will end with a relaxing acupressure facial massage.
