Skin Care
Come and experience the effects of acupuncture. The tiny acupuncture needles applied to the skin encourage local blood circulation as the micro-trauma from the needles triggers the bodies healing system, helping rejuvenate the area. On a systemic level, your practitioner will be looking out for chronic health issues and lifestyle factors that may be contributing.
At Newtown Acupuncture Centre, we take a thorough health history to understand what might be the major causes of skin or complexion issues. Hormones, digestion, stress, diet and genetics can all play a role in how our skin looks. Book in for cosmetic acupuncture which can help treat problem skin or just work on a glowing complexion and support anti-aging.

Red light is thought to work by producing a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell — it’s where the cell’s energy is created. The energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more ATP. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage. HEALTHLINE
This is how it is thought that the red light spectrum can help to regenerate damaged skin. This includes sun damaged skin, poor wound healing, psoriasis etc. You can add on a 25 minute light therapy session to your acupuncture treatment, or use it as a standalone treatment.
