Psoriasis: Facial Acupuncture Testimonial
Cosmetic Acupuncture appointments involve a TCM health consultation, Acupuncture on the face, holistic facial massage and Gua Sha facial massage. A tailored treatment plan is created for each client, including diet and lifestyle advice where relevant. Below is a testimonial from a client who received 10 sessions of Facial Acupuncture for treatment of psoriasis, which she had suffered with on the face and body for many years.
“I was absolutely thrilled with the service provided, the knowledge Sara passed on, and the physical results of my sessions. I suffer with psoriasis and this was a main focus for me, as well as general stress and headaches. The initial consultation was detailed and I felt very well informed of the process and comfortable.
(A comparison of skin texture and inflammation between session 3 and session 6. Notice the reduction in dry, flaking skin and calming of skin overall, particularly in the brow area. The red dots on the nose and cheeks are sites where needles had just been removed, these fade after a few minutes.)
Results - I noticed a great improvement in my psoriasis flair ups on my arms legs face and torso through the sessions. This was amazing, as we only did Acupuncture on the face, and Sara provided some nutritional tips to follow. My face in particular showed a huge improvement. My face as a whole looked more radiant, my skin looked smoother, brighter, more even in tone and just generally much healthier and lovelier due to the course of treatments. I also had more energy and found it easier to get up in the mornings.
Treatment - A detailed and informative consultation/catch up preceded each session. I was fully informed each time what would be the focus of each session. I felt safe and comfortable and past sessions were referenced throughout so I really got a grasp of the process/journey as a whole. Sara asked how I was feeling before each session and really took it all on board.
Therapist - Sara was excellent. She placed the needles with confidence and knowledge, explained everything as she went along, checked I was comfortable and guided me through each session in a manner that allowed me to be extremely informed but also enjoy a relaxing treatment too. Sara gave lots of dietary advice throughout the course to aid the psoriasis healing, as well as a huge amount of other lifestyle advice in general.”
