NATURAL, CLINICAL, PERSONALISED
Know what the treatment can—and cannot—do.
Physician Koh begins with your goals, skin concerns, health history and recent procedures before explaining the treatment, possible side effects and realistic expectations.
Facial acupuncture is not surgery and cannot guarantee a particular cosmetic result. Tell us about pregnancy, blood-thinning medication, bleeding disorders, active skin infection or recent facial procedures.
We begin with your goals, skin concerns, general health, medication and relevant history. Screening comes before treatment.
1. Consultation
The proposed points, hygiene process, possible sensations and aftercare are explained before you decide.
2. Preparation
Fine sterile single-use needles are placed by a registered TCM physician in a calm, professional setting.
3. Treatment Session
Simple aftercare is discussed, including temporary redness, tenderness or minor bruising and when to seek advice.
4. Aftercare
Your experience and goals are reviewed before another session is recommended. Treatment frequency is not fixed in advance.
5. Review
YOUR CARE, EXPLAINED
Comfort, safety and clear expectations.
What the first consultation covers
We review your goals, skin concerns, general health, medication, allergies and relevant aesthetic or medical procedures before checking suitability.
What care may include
Fine sterile single-use needles are placed by a registered TCM physician. The point selection and supporting TCM approach are tailored to the individual.
Care alongside medical treatment
Temporary redness, tenderness or minor bruising can occur. Active infection, significant bleeding risk or certain recent procedures may mean treatment should be postponed or modified.
Common questions
Does facial acupuncture hurt?
Most people describe a brief sensation as fine needles are placed. Comfort is checked throughout the session.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number for everyone. Your goals, response and suitability are reviewed before further care is suggested.
Can it replace dermatology or medical treatment?
No. New, persistent or concerning skin changes should be assessed by an appropriate medical professional.
