Cosmetic & Facial Acupuncture in Melbourne

As we age, our skin changes. In our 40s it is typical to start losing elasticity and firmness, for fine lines to appear, and for frown lines, stress and tension to show more in the face. Depending on diet and lifestyle, skin can also begin to look dry or dehydrated.


After menopause, the fluids in the body diminish and the skin changes further. Elastin reduces, collagen production slows, and loss of volume, sagging and drooping can follow.


How facial acupuncture helps


Facial acupuncture, also called cosmetic acupuncture, improves the skin in four key ways:

​

  • Boosting circulation and vitality

  • Stimulating collagen production

  • Stimulating the lymphatic system to clear and drain waste and reduce puffiness

  • Toning muscles and relaxing tightness


The quality of our skin is shaped by nutrition and lifestyle, with stress and sleep major factors in how well we age. Each session includes full-body acupuncture alongside the facial work, to address any internal imbalances.
