Treatment

Facial Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture is a natural, non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation. By placing very fine needles into areas where collagen has softened, the treatment prompts a tiny, controlled healing response — encouraging the skin to build fresh collagen and repair itself, much as it naturally would.

Background

Understanding Facial Acupuncture

The result many people notice over a course of treatments is firmer, brighter, more even-looking skin, achieved without injections or chemicals. At AcuPro Clinic Abu Dhabi, facial acupuncture can also be combined with body acupuncture to support overall balance and wellbeing.

Your session

What you need to know

  1. 1

    Before your session

    Where possible, arrive with little or no make-up, or wear it lightly so your practitioner can work on clean skin.

  2. 2

    During the session

    A number of very fine needles are placed on the target areas of the face, often with a gentle warming lamp, for around 40 minutes. Most people find the session calm and relaxing.

  3. 3

    After your session

    Occasionally a small bruise may appear, which fades quickly and can easily be covered with make-up. Results build gradually, so a course of sessions is usually recommended.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it painful?

The needles are extremely fine. Most people feel only a light sensation and find the treatment relaxing.

How many sessions do I need?

Facial acupuncture works cumulatively. A short course is usually recommended for the best, longer-lasting results — your practitioner will advise at your consultation.

Is there any downtime?

Very little. Any minor marks are easily covered and settle quickly, so you can return to your day as normal.
