“I think your whole life shows on your face and you should be proud of that.” – Lauren Bacall
It’s a beautiful sentiment. But what kind of life is showing on your face? Are you worn out, overworked, under rested? Is it showing on your skin? Face reading is just one diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine which your acupuncturist can use to measure the state of your health. Good nutrition, good hydration and good rest can be key to how well you look as you show up in the world, but you can also support your face directly with facial acupuncture and facial cupping.
I am a Bristol based acupuncturist qualified in facial acupuncture and facial cupping, here to bring back your sparkle with a relaxing and nourishing signature facial. Using natural methods my Crann Facial can relax your entire face, leading to a softening of the features and a well-rested glow. Crann is the Irish word for tree, and just as a tree has a hidden network of roots, the health of which can be seen in its branches, our faces have a hidden network of blood vessels, lymph nodes and muscles, all of which can benefit from the stimulating action of facial acupuncture and facial cupping.
Following a gentle facial cleanse, you will receive a targeted facial massage using medical grade silicon facial cups. This is followed by the insertion of a selection of tiny sterile single use needles, placed at appropriate points around the face. Facial cupping can minimise the appearance of fine lines, scars and puffiness on the face by relaxing your facial muscles, improving blood flow and stimulating the lymphatic system. Relaxing the face in this way can also be beneficial for issues such as bruxism (jaw clenching), sinusitis, migraines and other issues relating to the face and head. Many clients report having a really deep sleep afterwards – we can carry so much stress in our faces that needs releasing!
