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.
