About Face Acupuncture
Consultation
We start with a full health assessment, where you are welcome to share your history, concerns and goals openly. You will complete a short questionnaire covering your symptoms, daily routine and any medications you take.
Important Information
Please tell us about any relevant history including Botox, dermal fillers, facial surgery, blood‑thinning medication, high blood pressure, migraines or headaches. Also let us know if you are pregnant or have any other health conditions — this helps us plan safe, personalised care.
Before Your Appointment
- Please have something light to eat beforehand — we advise against arriving on an empty stomach.
- Come without makeup, or be ready to remove it before your session; please wait at least 30 minutes after treatment before reapplying.
- If you have had Botox or fillers in the last 6 months, we will avoid treating that area but can work elsewhere on the face.
- If you have active inflammation or frequent migraines, we may suggest a few general acupuncture sessions first to help you feel more balanced before facial treatment.
During Your Session
We select points carefully matched to your skin and overall health. This treatment uses multiple fine needles on the face — please tell us straight away if you feel any discomfort, and we will adjust or remove them at once. Needles stay in place for around 20 minutes, giving your body time to respond fully.
After Your Appointment
It is normal to feel relaxed, gently energised or a little tired afterwards. If you often feel light‑headed, you may wish to arrange for someone to collect you. Mild redness, temporary blotchiness, slight soreness or tiny bruises at needle sites can happen and usually fade within a few days to a week — please bear this in mind before special occasions. If you bruise easily, you are welcome to bring your own arnica cream or similar.
Simple care for best results:
- Drink plenty of water to support your body’s natural healing.
- Take it easy for the rest of the day — avoid strenuous exercise or heavy activity.
- You may like to take before‑and‑after photos to track how your skin responds over time.
Please never hesitate to ask anything — we are here to support you every step of the way.
