FAQ
Does facial acupuncture hurt?
Most clients feel very little. The needles are much finer than ones used for injections, and you may notice a light tingle or a dull sensation at some points. Many people find it so relaxing that they drift off.
Are the needles clean?
Yes. I use single-use, sterile needles, which are disposed of safely after every session.
Will I bruise?
Occasionally a small mark appears where a needle was placed. It usually fades within a few days.
Is it safe for me?
It is not suitable for everyone. Please tell me beforehand if you are pregnant, take blood thinners, have a medical condition, or have a pacemaker or similar device. We will go through this together at your consultation.
How many treatments will I need?
Effects tend to build over time, so some clients choose a short course. Results vary from person to person, and I will talk you through a realistic plan at your first visit.
When will I see a difference?
Some clients notice a fresher, calmer look soon after a session. More lasting changes usually take a course of treatments.
How should I prepare?
Come with clean skin if you can, and eat something beforehand. Avoid heavy make-up and drink plenty of water.
Is there downtime after a peel?
No. Your skin may feel slightly warm or look a little pink for a short time. Use sun protection afterwards.
What is Held?
Held is a slow, restful treatment for deep rest and reconnection that includes energy healing. It is a relaxation treatment, not a medical one.
How do I book?
You can book online on each treatment page, or get in touch.
Where are you based?
I am in Brighton and Hove. Please get in touch for the address and access details.
