Cosmetic Acupuncture Bristol & South Wales

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, also known as also known as Cosmetic Acupuncture, Acupuncture Facial Revitalisation, or an Acupuncture Facelift, is a painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process. Much more than a cosmetic procedure, it uses the ancient holistic principles of Chinese Medicine to help the whole body look and feel younger.

The cosmetic acupuncture treatment consists of hair-thin needles inserted into particular areas of the face, ears, neck, hands, trunk, and legs. The size of the needles and the technique used ensures that it not an unpleasant procedure, and in fact is normally deeply relaxing and energising.

The acupuncture treatment also helps to balance the internal environment, regulating the hormonal system, reducing stress and anxiety and improving circulation, helping you to look and feel more relaxed, calmer, and more confident.

Using acupuncture in this way is not a new idea - at least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) Acupuncture rejuvenation practices were being used for the Empress and the Emperor's concubines. Much more recently, the effects of Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture have been studied in detail, with positive results. A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment.
