Step 1: Cleansing the Face with Om Organics Cleanser and Hot Towel
To start the treatment, we will cleanse your face using the gentle and nourishing Om Organics Cleanser. This natural skincare line is designed to cleanse without harsh chemicals, providing a clean canvas for the treatment. We'll then apply a hot towel to further cleanse and open up the pores, preparing the skin for the acupuncture session.
Step 2: Inserting the Acupuncture Needles
After the face is cleansed, I will begin inserting fine acupuncture needles into specific facial and body points. These acupuncture points are chosen to stimulate circulation, promote collagen production, and revitalize the skin. The needles will be left in place for about 20-25 minutes allow the energy (Qi) to flow and activate the body's healing response.
Step 3: Applying Om Organics Toner, Serums, and Moisturizers
Once the acupuncture session is complete, we will use OmOrganics toners, serums, and moisturizers that are specially formulated to nourish and protect the skin. These products are infused with natural ingredients to enhance the effects of the treatment and leave your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Step 4: Rose Quartz Gua Sha Massage
Using Rose quartz Gua sha tools, I will gently massage your face to tone and contour the skin. Gua sha is an ancient Chinese technique that involves smooth scraping motions to promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, and improve blood circulation. We will also use Gua sha on the scalp to stimulate acupoints, inducing deep relaxation and a sense of calm.
Step 5: Rose Quartz Crystals Mask and Neck Massage
To conclude the treatment, we will apply a luxurious Rose Quartz Crystals Mask. Rose quartz is believed to have soothing and balancing properties, which can enhance the overall experience. While the mask works its magic, you will also enjoy a relaxing neck massage to release tension and promote overall well-being.
HOW DOES FACIAL REJUVENATION WORK?
The treatment not only works to nourish, rehydrate, tone, and reduce wrinkles, but it also addresses underlying issues contributing to cellular degeneration and ageing. This makes it a reliable long-term solution for anti-ageing, along with other problems like digestive issues, acute or chronic pain, stress, insomnia, and fatigue. The practitioner will select particular acupuncture points based on your specific needs.
Unlike many mainstream beauty treatments, like Botox, facial acupuncture addresses both the surface signs of premature ageing and the internal causes. By directing the body's healing energy towards repairing the skin, it stimulates the body's natural regeneration process.
While the skin will appear revitalized after your first treatment, keep in mind that true results accumulate over time, as your body is in the process of creating new collagen. For significant, long-lasting results, we recommend a series of six to eight treatments, with three to four treatments within a span of one to two months, followed by monthly or bi-monthly sessions.
Each appointment lasts 60 minutes.
