You leave with specific recommendations, what to eat, what to avoid, what to apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. The needles used in cosmetic acupuncture are extremely fine — much finer than a hypodermic needle. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warmth. Many fall asleep.
-
We recommend a course of six weekly sessions to see lasting results. Skin begins to look brighter and more rested after the first one or two sessions, with deeper changes, improved tone, reduced fine lines, from week four or five.
-
None. You can return to your day immediately. Some clients experience mild redness for an hour or two, which fades quickly.
-
Botox paralyses the muscle to prevent movement. Cosmetic acupuncture works with your skin's own biology — stimulating it to rebuild collagen, improve circulation and restore tone. The results are subtler and more natural, and they build over time rather than fading.
-
Anyone who wants to age gracefully. Our clients range from women in their thirties who are investing in their skin early, to women in their fifties and sixties who want to look as good as they feel. Esse is not about stopping time — it's about looking and feeling radiantly, authentically yourself.
