facial revitalisation acupuncture (FRA)


FRA is a cosmetic treatment often described as a non-surgical facelift.  The treatment is virtually painless and can erase many of the signs of aging such as wrinkles, jowl and frown lines.  It brightens the eyes and leaves the skin looking radiant.


Acupuncture may erase as many as 5 – 10 years from the face with results apparent after just a few treatments. Facial Acupuncture has been shown to:


increase collagen production
smooth out wrinkles and firm the skin
reduce bags around the eyes
tone up drooping eyelids
tone sagging skin around the face and neck


The treatment stimulates local circulation of blood and lymph to the face, improves muscle tone, encourages tightening of the pores and brightens the eyes. It greatly reduces stress evident in the face, bringing out the beauty within


The treatment involves inserting hair-thin needles into specific points on the face. Some body points may also be used to improve your general constitutional energy. The needles will be left in place for 20 minutes. The process is virtually painless and very relaxing.


A course of approximately 6 – 12 treatments is recommended. Most patients notice a difference after one or two treatments, however, the effects become most noticeable and lasting after 6 treatments.   

Following the initial course of treatment, maintenance treatments of once a month can prolong the results for five to ten years.

 

Note:  Facial Acupuncture is also not suitable for people with high blood pressure, or people who bruise or bleed very easily or who are on any blood thinning medication.
