DAAN Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture could provide same results for those who are seeking a more youthful appearance.

If you want to achieve noticeable results from a facial, it needs to be drastic.

The traditional combination of cleansing, toning and a facemask may leave you feeling relaxed and your skin looking rosy, but in reality it will make more difference to your mood than your skin and – in my experience – the results will be gone by the following day. Acupuncturist Annee de Mamiel, however, is a results-driven therapist.

After taking your medical history, Annee uses Chinese medicine principles to assess your body’s areas of weakness before identifying problem areas on your face.

Next, she inserts very fine disposable needles into the specific points mine were in my forehead and jawline, mainly – to create a ‘micro-trauma’, prompting increased blood flow and nutrients to flow to the area, kickstarting the skin’s rejuvenation process.

Needles are also placed in specific sites around the body before Annee gets to work with a Tui’na, a stimulating Chinese massage. The needles stay in for about 30-45 minutes.

The final stage of the process occurs after they are removed, when your face is massaged with a bespoke oil before you wander back to the relaxation room for a specially blended medicinal tea.

I am a great believer in acupuncture, but I didn’t really know what to expect from a facial using it. Annee tells me that people normally book a course of treatments to see the best results, but that after just one sessionmy face would appear more ‘open’.

Amazingly, when I looked in the mirror, the lines from my nose to my mouth had completely disappeared, as if I’d had some sort of filler.

Annee believes facial acupuncture can provide results equivalent to Botox, and if I had these results based upon one treatment, I can believe her.
