The modern beauty paradigm is broken and based on quick fixes, hiding, masking, freezing and restricting. Women are encouraged to chase a generic impossible and to avoid the inevitable aging process at all costs - our financial, physical and mental health. 

Facial acupuncture does it differently. Our faces, and our unique beauty, are understood as living breathing responsive ecosystems, part of a whole, that are designed to move and show us everything we need to know about our physical, emotional and spiritual health.

Space acupuncture treatments blend ritual, medicine and nourishing facial practices that are good for your skin and soul. With plenty of flow, glow and relaxation along the way.

A relatively new innovation in the UK – the Chinese have been using acupuncture for facial revitalisation for thousands of years therapeutically and aestetically. 

​

Facial acupuncture (aka facial revitalisation, rejuvenation, cosmetic & natural facelift acupuncture) offers a non-surgical, non-toxic journey to healthier and better looking skin. A high number of ultra fine needles are inserted to increase circulation of oxygen, blood, nutrients and lymph, and to stimulate a healing response which encourages collagen production and skin cell renewal. The result = a more radiant appearance and healthier looking skin!

​

Needle technique is very gentle, and only the finest Japanese needles and purely natural organic skincare products are used to minimise discomfort and post treatment marks. Please note that although all care will be taken and it is unusual, occasionally slight bruising can occur due to the delicate nature of the facial skin. It may be worth considering this before an important occasion.

Cupping is an age-old health practice that uses gentle suction cups on the skin for various health issues. Facial cupping is a gentle adaptation of traditional body cupping techniques used to stimulate circulation, reduce puffiness, and sculpt the deeper tissues of the face for a healthy, lifted glow.​ 

​

Gua sha is an ancient Chinese technique that involves using a flat tool to stimulate the skin and underlying tissue. Gua sha tools are usually made of stone like jade or rose quartz. Great for releasing tension, lifting, circulation and puffiness. 

​

Face rollers are a highly relaxing technique that can reduce puffiness,  stimulate blood flow and great for product penetration, soothing the skin, and feels lovely! 

​

Techniques are all great for encouraging fresh oxygenated blood flow, skin cell turnover and removal of toxins.

Cosmetic acupuncture is designed to increase circulation to the face, balance complexion, ease muscle tension, reduce line lines and wrinkles, support lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness, and gently strengthen sagging skin.

​

These nourishing treatments offer a natural, non-toxic and holistic alternative to chemical procedures. Facial acupuncture addresses skin health from within, aiming for a subtle but noticeable and more long-term improvements rather than the riskier quick fixes. 

​

Best results are obtained with 10-12 weekly treatments followed by monthly top ups. Discounted 6 session bundles are available. 

The face is an incredibly hard working part of our body, constantly giving and receiving information, housing all of our senses, as well as expressing (or supressing) thoughts and feelings.

When our minds are affected by stress, it clearly shows on our faces. Facial muscles  tighten and constrict blood vessels, limiting the flow of blood, O2 and nutrients; resulting not only in skin imbalances, congestion, premature aging and tired looking skin, but can also contribute to painful conditions such as headaches, sinusitis and jaw pain.

​

These tretaments not only help relax tense muscles, relieve painful conditions and improve circulation: but can help ease stress, smooth emotions and soothe the mind. With a calm mind, stressful times are more manageable and when stress is resolved from the inside, it's soon reflected on the outside.

I've practised facial acupuncture and therapy for 17+ years and am trained in New York based  Virginia Doran's Facial Rejuvenation Massage and Acupuncture programme which is highly regarded worldwide in terms of effectiveness and thoroughness of training. For many years I organised Virginia's UK workshops and assisted with her teaching. 

I've completed training in Eastern facial therapies including facial cupping, gua sha, jade roller and acupressure at the College of Oriental Therapy in London. I have also completed Ayurvedic health and skincare training in Kerala, India.

​

I have facilitated natural face care sessions at various wellbeing retreats. I volunteered for many years at the Survivors Network offering monthly mindful facial group sessions with women who have experienced sexual violence.
