Are there any side effects from facial acupuncture?
Facial acupuncture is safe and gentle with no downtime needed. It is a chemical-free, natural approach to anti-aging, without the side effects, risks and downtime of more invasive cosmetic procedures. Most patients do not experience any complications. However, a small amount of bleeding, bruising or puffiness may occasionally occur. This isn't common, and I've trained extensively to minimize bruising. However, it's always a possibility. Most clients walk out feeling rejuvenated and glowing!
Is there anyone who can't have facial acupuncture? Yes, if you are pregnant, have received botox/fillers recently, or if you get migraines/chronic headaches, then it's not the right time to receive facial acupuncture.
Can I get facial acupuncture if I have botox/filler? Yes, however it's recommended to wait 4-6 weeks post-botox-treatment/fillers to get facial acupuncture.
Is there anything I need to do before a treatment to prepare? Yes, please have a small meal an hour or two before any acupuncture treatment, and arrive with a clean, bare face.
