Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic Acupuncture is a Medical therapy that works on both the surface and the root cause, so that your skin radiates true health from the inside out.

Deep unwinding of stress and trauma held in the nervous system, organs, fascia, bones, meridians and lymph.

Helena has travelled the world to undergo extensive training, in order to deliver a unique, next level treatment that you won’t get anywhere else. More information about this is in her bio.

Most cosmetic acupuncture works on the acupuncture points and local collagen induction. However, Helena also works on the individual facial muscles, to get even better results. This is a highly specialised treatment she learnt in Korea, involving a significant amount of training. She is the only person in Australia to offer this.

She also includes some cranio-sacral therapy, a gentle osteopathic technique, into her treatments, as this work on the central nervous system, amplifying the effect of acupuncture.

The needles used are tiny, finer than half of your hair strand. Overall, it’s not painful and extremely relaxing.

Some areas of the face are more sensitive, so one can feel a very quick sting, but that lasts less than a second.

Most people don’t find it painful, however we are all different and a small percentage are more sensitive than others. I respectfully work with where your at, and never push you past your comfort level.

Creating a safe space for you is my number one priority, and the scariest thing here is just getting over the mental fear.

8-12 regular, weekly treatments are recommended for best results. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 4-8 weeks following this. When maintained, results can last for years.

This is a treatment that is working with your body’s own resources, so it varies according to your overall state of health and age. After the first session, the first thing many people notice is more refreshed, tight, lifted and glowing skin, like they have just come back from a relaxing holiday. This is a cumulative treatment, where each session builds on the next. It takes the body 5-7 weeks to build collagen, so it’s at this stage of the treatment course where we start to see fine lines minimise and deep wrinkles soften. The best results are seen at weeks 8-12, where the skin is more lifted, tighter, hydrated and lines further softened.

Please bring a scarf, even a light scarf if it’s warm outside. The Neck needs to be covered after cupping.

This is a nourishing and gentle treatment so there is no downtime. We recommend to take it easy after a session and not overly exert yourself, as the treatment will continue to work after the needles are out. This way the results will be even deeper. The most common effect after a treatment is some face flushing, which is temporary and normal, due to increased circulation. Rarely there may be minor bruising at the site of insertion, which resolves quickly.

Yes, its safe. This is a time when many people discover cosmetic acupuncture, as they can no longer get injectibles. Please inform the practitioner, as the treatment protocol needs to be adjusted.

Please wait 4 weeks after botox, and 3 months for fillers. Please ask your provider their recommendations for wait time following injections. Cosmetic acupuncture promotes blood and lymph flow and opens up blocked muscles, bringing the skin back to life again. It’s a good reset of the skin in between injectables.
