Facial revitalisation techniques we use include acupuncture, electro acupuncture, TENS pads, massage techniques and more. The exact method employed will depend upon the individual and their requirements. For example we have found that electro acupuncture is the most effective method to treat individual lines on the face but is unnecessary for a general tonic in most cases. Some people do not want needles applied to the face and we have other techniques such as Tui-Na massage we can use which are often just as effective.
the advantage of FRA over a conventional facial treatment is that an acupuncture diagnosis will include constitutional treatment. Chinese Medicine theory tells us that "what is on the inside is reflected in the face" So we can apply appropriate constitutional treatment to work holistically.
In practice I have often found that people who come for FRA report that other problems have been resolved or relieved by the overall effect of the treatment. I sum this up with a phrase "Look good and you feel good, feel good and you look good" I think it is the fact that FRA works on both sides of this, from the outside in and the inside out that gives it extra value and effectiveness.
