Hi there, while our facial acupuncture treatment in Singapore will achieve the same (if not better) benefits than a typical facial, such as reduce wrinkles, reduce sagginess and improve general skin complexion, our treatment is not a facial treatment and will not include exfoliation, cleansing or masks.
After just five sessions of Chinese facial acupuncture, the majority of participants observed benefits, according to one study. The result is a tightening of the general appearance of the skin by restoring blood flow and aiding to enhance collagen formation at recognized and carefully selected places.
One should also note that facial acupuncture is not the same as acupuncture.
They are different services with different benefits and are also priced differently at our clinics.
Regular acupuncture serves to treat chronic issues, pain relief, balances the body and resolves most ailments relating to immunity, discomfort and pain.
Facial acupuncture serves to rejuvenate the facial skin and promote anti-ageing effects.
Acupuncture practitioners in Singapore look at your tongue for a reason.
Acupuncturists examine the color, texture, and coating of your tongue. Furthermore, the form of your tongue can show signs of ill health or the lack thereof.
Yes, Chinese acupuncture is very effective. The central nervous system is said to be stimulated by acupuncture sites. As a result, chemicals are released into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These metabolic changes may boost physical and mental well-being by stimulating the body’s natural healing capacities.
Depending on the sort of treatment you require, acupuncture sessions in our Singapore clinic might run anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.
While acupuncture can cause certain harmful side effects, if you have a skilled, certified acupuncture practitioner who uses sterile needles, the hazards of Chinese acupuncture are minimal.
Soreness and slight bleeding or bruises where the needles were implanted are common side effects, but these will hardly ever cause any pain or health risks and naturally goes away after several hours or a few days. Because single-use, disposable needles are now the norm in Singapore acupuncture clinics, the risk of infection is low.
Chinese acupuncture is not for everyone.
Hemophilia or the use of blood thinners are examples of bleeding disorders that make acupuncture unsuitable. Needling in the stomach area or the lumbosacral region should also be avoided if you’re pregnant. Acupuncture that stimulates the early delivery of a fetus or even leads to termination should be avoided as well.
Acupuncture is tied to the notion in traditional Chinese medicine that sickness is caused by interruptions in the flow of energy, or “qi”, in the body. Chinese acupuncture stimulates acupuncture points or acupressure sites on or beneath the skin to release “qi”.
It depends on the individual. Chinese acupuncture is usually pain-free, but some people may have ant-bite feels, soreness, itchiness or heaviness sensation. This is normal and is called “de qi”, indicating the flow of energy inside the body.
Chinese acupuncture is almost always safe if performed correctly. All the needles used at our acupuncture clinic are premium quality, single-use, sterile and pre-packaged.
Chinese acupuncture provides control and relief for chronic pain, and is particularly helpful for patients for whom pain medications are not suitable. It also improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating acupuncture points.
The frequency and number of treatments differ from person to person. Some people experience dramatic relief right from the first Chinese acupuncture treatment session. For complex or long-standing chronic conditions, or for treatments that need to recondition the body, more than one session is needed. Such individuals will require consistent and frequent treatments. An individualised treatment plan that includes the expected number of sessions will be discussed during your initial visit to our acupuncture clinic.
