About Accupuncture

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture is a dynamic medicine capable of creating beneficial change for people. The effect of good acupuncture is to do more than just relieve physical symptoms. Its greatest strength is that it treats each patient individually, with the focus on them, not their illness. No two people are the same, so a personalised treatment plan is devised.

Anna combines probably the two most popular forms of traditional acupuncture, which are TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Five Element. She also uses techniques such as moxibustion, electro-acupuncture, cupping and guasha.

TCM has been practiced for over 2,000 years and is an ancient healing system that can treat a wide range of physical, mental and emotional symptoms.

The Five Element form focuses mainly on treating the underlying spirit or essence of the person. This can bring about profound changes in a person's sense of wellbeing, restoring harmony and balance in the body.

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE

WHAT IS IT?

Cosmetic acupuncture is also known as facial enhancement or rejuvenation. It is a totally natural, non-surgical facial that more people are turning to as a viable and highly acclaimed alternative to more invasive treatments. It involves placing tiny, painless acupuncture needles into various points on the face.

Anna will also needle points on your legs, arms and body to help balance and harmonise your internal organs. Through this approach, better and longer-lasting results can be achieved. This is why over the course of treatments you will also start to feel more balanced and happy in yourself; the effects run far deeper than simply improving your appearance.

It is about how we feel inside and how those feelings are expressed on your face. If your system is happy, healthy and working well, then your skin will work well too.
