The  distal  points  in  the  legs  and  arms  will  help  to  improve  the  general  well-­‐being  of  the  patient  as  well  as   improve  circulation,  have  an  analgesic  effect  on  the  body  and  help  to  detoxify  the  body.   The  facial  needling  includes  the  forehead,  neck  and  face.    These  n eedles  are  placed  on  strategic  points  to   lift  and  tighten  the  muscles  and  skin.    After  this  small  needles  are  inserted  in  the  lines  and  wrinkles  to  lift   and  relax.   The  facial  massage  will  help  to  relax  the  patient,  improve  lymphatic  drainage  and  detox,  support  capillary   circulation,  tone  the  facial  muscles  and  combat  the  signs  of  ageing.    An  aromatherapy  serum  is  used  for  the   facial  massage  with  specialized  techniques  which  will  enhance  the  experience  and  benefits  of  the   treatments.   The  entire  treatment  time  would  take  around  90  minutes.   Any  side-­‐effects?    Well,  seeing  that  we  are  sticking  a  few  tiny  needles  into  your  face  be  prepared  that  you   might  have  some  bruising  after  the  treatment.    It  is  normal  and  the  bruising  will  disappear  after  3  to  4  days.     If  you  are  prone  to  bruising  then  I  would  recommend  that  you  take  a  course  of  Arnica  tablets  before  and   after  your  treatment.    This  will  encourage  speedy  healing  and  minimum  bruising.     Why  should  I  rather  have  Facial  Enhancement  Acupuncture  instead  of  Botox  or  fillers?    Plastic  surgery,   Botox  and  fillers  are  an  invasive  procedure  which  needs  to  be  repeated  on  a  regular  basis.    Plastic  surgery   needs  to  be  repeated  every  7  to  10  years  and  the  procedure  is  costly,  the  health  risks  are  high  and  it  will   compromise  the  natural  appearance  of  the  face.   Facial  Enhancement  Acupuncture  is  a  non-­‐surgical  face  lift.    It  can  turn  back  the  “clock”  and  also  helps  to   slow  down  the  ageing  process.    Your  appearance  will  also  look  natural  and  reflect  your  improved  health   and  well-­‐being.    There  is  no  health  risk  involved,  no  recovery  time  and  the  results  are  instant.   For  more  information  for  to  make  an  appointment  for  a  complimentary  consultation  contact  Anzelle   Johnson  at  076  298  4992  or  info@cape-­‐acupuncture.com.   Quote  your  membership  number  and  receive  20%  discount  on  your  Facial  Enhancement   Acupuncture  treatments.
