How many sessions of cosmetic acupuncture?
For the best outcome we recommend 6 weekly sessions if you are under 30, and if you are over 30, 8-12 weekly sessions. After completing a course of treatments appointments can move to fortnightly, and then to monthly, or every 6 weeks for maintenance.
Acupuncture is a cumulative treatment, treatments build on each other, and it is important to finish the course for the best results. Results also depend on age, skin type, and overall health.
What to expect?
Week 1 + 2
Commonly within 1-2 weeks skin is softer and hydrated. Blood flow has been improved and brought to the face through the needling. The face is brighter and glowy. Tension in the jaw and brow has softened.
Week 3 + 4
Muscles that were weaker and droopy may feel tighter and lifted, skin appears tighter. Skin feels softer and more hydrated. Fine lines have softened, skin is more refined and appears smoother.
Week 5 + 7
Lines are softening, skin is becoming tighter and firmer, this is usually more noticeable around the mouth and cheeks. Muscles appear lifted, and the face appears firmer and plumper.
Week 8 + 12
We see the best results at this stage. Redness is reduced, skin tone is even. Nasolabial folds become smoother, lines around the mouth become softer. Pores are minimised and the face is fuller and lifted.
What happens after 8-12 weeks?
So you have finished the course, now what? We recommend you come in for maintenance treatments every 4-8 weeks. How often will depend on your skin type, and age.
