Advanced Facial Treatment

At Essential Acupuncture Clinic, we offer a Natural and Advanced Facial Treatment. This includes facial steam, facial cleaning, exfoliation, facial massage, facial ultrasonic treatment, facial mask, cream, LED light therapy and cosmetic acupuncture. Unlike other basic facial treatments, our aim is to provide an individual treatment plan using a natural and non-invasive treatments.

As we are all so different we will have our own individual skin tone, skin texture, muscle strength, skin color and skin sensitivity. Contact Julie to make a personalized consultation to suit your needs. Generally, you may fall in one of these three advanced facial treatment packages:

• 
• 
• 

Our bodies and skin mechanics are very complex. The skin mirrors and reflects our physical and emotional health. Genetic composition plays a big role too. You might be prone to skin issues because your parents may have had the same problems too. Apart from genetics, hormone imbalances and the overuse of medication or alcohol may also contribute to various skin issues such as eczema or pruritis.  In my practice, we provide cosmetic acupuncture treatments to remedy puffiness, dull or uneven skin tone, edema and eczema issues. However, some skin issues are much more complicated hence Body acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine may be applied for optimum results.

Facial ultrasonic therapy involves the use of an ultrasonic machine to penetrate the skin with high level sound waves. This type of facial therapy is non-invasive, does not use injections or damage the skin. More information of ultrasonic therapy for facial therapy, click here.

LED Light Therapy is a part of our advanced facial treatment package. It utilises LED light bulbs to produces waves of light energy with different lengths. More information about LED Light Therapy please click here.

Deluxe Back Care uses special techniques to massage along the back meridians and acupoints. Chinese Medicine practitioners acknowledge the importance of the qi in which all yang-qi (energy) accumulates predominately in the head. The smooth passage of energy flow from our back meridians and acupoints is assisted with targeted massage therapy. For more information about massage or Chinese Tui na please click here.

Cosmetic acupuncture is incredibly popular due to its natural and non-invasive approach. Cosmetic acupuncture not only stimulates collagen production but also provides an advanced skin lift. Other medical machine methods can only reach a certain depth whereas acupuncture needles can reach more than 1cm underneath the skin. Certain muscles and fascia can be triggered by the cosmetic acupuncture procedure.

Fascia is internal connective tissue that wraps around organs, providing support and holding parts together. It has the appearance of a very thin spider web, connecting layers of muscle and surrounding all internal body tissues.

Hence cosmetic acupuncture practiced by a licensed, skillful Chinese medicine practitioner can be used to treat sagging and aging skin. Regular cosmetic acupuncture visits maintain your skin, providing a plump facial texture.  More information about Cosmetic acupuncture please click here.

During your consultation, Julie will combine your personal health issues to tailor the optimal facial treatment plan for you.
