Korean Facial Massage & Cosmetic Acupuncture

 

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture & Korean Facial Massage?

 

Cosmetic acupuncture is based on the principles of Traditional Oriental Medicine, and involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into areas of the face.  Korean Facial Massage is a relaxing technique of massage using special Gua sha tools developed in Korea, which massage oil into the skin and have special anti-toxin properties.

 

The Korean Facial Massage is very popular and truly relaxing.   It has the unique ability to cool and relax the face and is ideal if you feel hot and stressed or have hot flushes!

 

 

Does it really make a difference?

 

Many sources indicate that acupuncture has been used for at least 2,000 years. Having proven itself with billions of people, acupuncture has survived the test of time.   Doctors in China believe that the effectiveness of acupuncture is due to its direct manipulation of the body's energy system-balancing energy, removing blockages or adding energy where necessary.

 

Is Cosmetic acupuncture a new and trendy technique?

 

Not at all. For thousands of years the Chinese have known that beauty comes from the inside. At least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD), Cosmetic Acupuncture practices were employed by the Empress and the Emperor's concubines.

 

Are there any contra-indications?

 

Cosmetic Acupuncture is contra-indicated for those with high blood pressure, sufferers of migraines, or those who bruise and bleed easily.

 

 

It should be noted that minor bruising can occur after a Facial acupuncture treatment, but this normally goes within a few days.
