Facial Enhancement Acupuncture Treatment
Welcome to our clinic, where beauty meets tradition! If you’ve ever wondered about a natural and holistic approach to rejuvenating your skin, Facial Enhancement Acupuncture (FEA) might be the answer you’ve been looking for.
About Facial Enhancement Acupuncture (FEA)
Facial Enhancement Acupuncture (FEA), also known as Cosmetic Acupuncture, or Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, is a holistic and non-invasive approach to enhancing skin health and promoting a youthful complexion. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, this rejuvenating practice goes beyond conventional cosmetic treatments by addressing both the external signs of ageing and the underlying imbalances within the body.
During a FEA session, fine needles are strategically inserted into specific acupuncture points on the face, stimulating blood circulation, collagen production, and overall skin vitality. This therapeutic technique aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging while promoting a radiant and natural glow.
FEA is renowned for its ability to:
- Improve Skin Elasticity: Enhance the firmness and elasticity of the skin, promoting a more youthful and lifted appearance.
- Minimise Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Target specific areas of concern, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and nasolabial folds, to soften and diminish fine lines.
- Promote Collagen Production: Stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, contributing to smoother and plumper skin.
- Balance Skin Tone: Address uneven skin tone, reduce redness, and promote an even complexion for a healthier look.
- Relax Facial Muscles: Alleviate tension and stress in facial muscles, reducing the formation of expression lines.
- Harmonise Internal Imbalances: Utilise TCM principles to address internal imbalances that may contribute to skin issues, promoting overall well-being.

Facial Enhancement Acupuncture FAQ
Q: Who can receive FEA?
A: FEA is generally suitable for individuals seeking a natural and non-invasive approach to improve skin appearance. It is appropriate for those who want to address fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin health without resorting to more invasive procedures. However, individuals with specific health conditions, such as bleeding disorders or certain skin conditions, may need to consult with practitioner to determine suitability.
Q: Is FEA safe?
A: FEA is generally safe, individual responses can vary. Pregnant women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those taking specific medications may need to consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing cosmetic acupuncture. Always communicate openly with your practitioner about your health and any concerns you may have.
Q: What will happen when I go for FEA?
A: 1. Consultation: The practitioner will discuss your medical history, skincare concerns, and treatment goals to tailor the session to your specific needs.
2. FEA Treatment: Thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific points on your face and, possibly, other parts of your body. This aims to stimulate circulation, collagen production, and promote overall skin health.
3. Adjunctive Techniques: Additional techniques like facial massage or Gua Sha might be incorporated to enhance the effects and address specific concerns.
4. Relaxation: You’ll have some time to relax with the needles in place. Many people find this part of the treatment calming.
5. Needle Removal: After a specific duration, the practitioner will remove the needles.
6. Post-Treatment Advice: The practitioner may provide advice on skincare routines, lifestyle changes, or follow-up treatments to optimise and maintain results.
Q: How Long Do the Effects Last?
A: Results are gradual but long-lasting. After completing the first course of treatment, improvements can last up to 2-3 years with proper daily skincare. Monthly top-up sessions are recommended for sustained results.
Q: How many FEA treatments will I need?
A: Embarking on a course of FEA with a recommended 10 sessions, clients often notice a significant improvement in their skin after 4-6 sessions. The process is gradual, emphasizing the cumulative benefits of increased collagen and enhanced circulation. Post the initial course, results can last up to 2-3 years with daily skincare. To maintain these benefits, we recommend monthly top-up sessions, ensuring long-lasting and transformative effects on skin health and appearance.
Q: Does FEA hurt? What do acupuncture needles feel like?
A:FEA is generally considered to be a low-pain or painless procedure. Most people experience minimal discomfort, if any. Acupuncture needles used in cosmetic acupuncture are extremely thin, much finer than hypodermic needles used for injections. As a result, the sensation is often described as a mild tingling or a quick, slight pinch upon insertion.
Once the needles are in place, many individuals report feeling a sensation of warmth, heaviness, or a gentle pulsating at the acupuncture points. During the relaxation phase of the treatment, some people may even find the experience soothing and calming.
Q: What are the differences between FEA and mainstream beauty treatments i.e. botox?
A: FEA and mainstream beauty treatments like Botox differ in their approach and effects. While Botox involves injecting neurotoxins to temporarily paralyse muscles, FEA is a natural, non-invasive method stimulating collagen production, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing overall skin health. The former offers quick results but carries potential side effects, while the latter promotes gradual, holistic improvements.
Q: Are there any side effects of FEA?
A: Facial Enhancement Acupuncture, akin to any medical or aesthetic procedure, may entail mild and temporary side effects, with individual responses varying. Common side effects include temporary redness and minor bruising at the needle insertion points, both resolving shortly after treatment. Slight swelling and skin sensitivity may occur but typically subside within hours. While extremely rare, allergic reactions to acupuncture materials are possible, emphasising the importance of disclosing known allergies. Open communication with your practitioner, adherence to aftercare instructions, and prompt medical attention for unusual symptoms contribute to a safe experience. Consulting with a healthcare professional beforehand is recommended for those with specific health concerns or uncertainties about the procedure’s suitability.
