How my cosmetic acupuncture journey began.
By the time I hit my late 30s I began to realise that my skin and face was changing in a way I did not like. I lacked confidence about my facial appearance, which was strange as I had never felt insecure about this before. After 18 years experience in the Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Melbourne industry, I felt it was time to delve into this area to support myself and many other women facing this same problem of not feeling good about their “beauty”. So now that is what I do in Fairfield, Melbourne!
From birth until age 25 you have the face your mother gave you. From 25 to 50 you create your own face… and from 50 onwards, you have the face that you deserve!

Why Cosmetic Acupuncture?
No, absolutely not. After my extensive research and learnings of feminine energy. Women are beings that need to feel good to do good in the world. A woman who is happy in herself is a treasure and beacon of light to the world.
What cosmetic acupuncture can offer you is well beyond botox, fillers and plastic surgery. Many ladies these days in Melbourne are having very regular botox and filler treatments, but you don’t have to take the invasive route to look good.
These treatments are completely restoring, rejuvenating and relaxing. The holistic cosmetic acupuncture treatment I offer you rejuvenates your physical body, mind and being. It is not only going to enhance your face to look younger, fresher and healthier but also your body. A healthy body will circulate plenty of vital energy, blood and lymph to your neck, face and head… giving you a glow that is beautifully yours.
