Facials for Medical Conditions –
Mata Mo Nga Tikanga Hauora

Isn’t the body just so incredible? Look how many tiny muscles are in the face alone! We hold SO much tension in our face. You will love the feeling of relaxation after any treatments. FYI the chewing muscle is THE strongest muscle in the body.

As we age its not just about our looks, we dim, because bloods not flowing as abundantly and easily as when young which is why you feel so great after treatments. In Chinese Medicine the Face is a micro-system (which means we can treat a lot of the body, through the face.

Facial acupuncture

Additional Acupuncture Facial effective tools and specialized needles that we use such as:

  • Electro Acupuncture
  • Comfortable Gusha (a form of massage using a special tool)
  • Sliding facial cupping
  • Warm paraffin masks (for those with cooling conditions)
  • Cooling eye masks and eye treatments using gel glass spheres (for those that have heat conditions)
  • A huge range of needles in gauge (size of width) to treat different parts of the face, lines, wrinkles and paralysis (in some cases)
  • Electro Acupuncture (sounds awful but we have gentle methods) that gets great results

Additionally we can add in further treatment as required:

  • A few extra needles for the body to improve immunity (we will advise you not always a good idea to start with)
  • Anaesthetic Needles (that can help your body feel stronger and in some cases of body weakness to make sure the needles are not uncomfortable.

Facial Paralysis –

If any of these signs and symptoms in this diagram are familiar to you, please get in touch. Often 40+ people can have had a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) or a mini stroke, that can happen and you may be unaware, causing these symptoms.

An opportunity presents itself to help improve your overall immunity and condition – Along with seeing us we will also refer you to your GP if your not already seeking treatment from them too. (All hands on deck)!

Bells Palsy

Conditions such as Bell’s Palsy, Post Stroke, (and in some cases Aging), can cause quite common but numerous ailments (in the young) and old. Some illness or these afflictions can be acute (happen rapidly) or chronic developed over time.

In Chinese Medicine they have a theory and treatment that is highly effective to treat the symptoms (facial paralysis) as well as the underlying condition acute OR chronic. This is one of the areas acupuncture is really great for.  We can treat these conditions.

Our recommendation is 8-12 sessions (depending on your underlining condition). We may use basic needles (no need to have the facial with products), and we may use electro acupuncture, warm paraffin mask, sliding cupping, and massage (therapist dependant).

If you have an accident that includes this aliment, you can use a current inactivated ACC number and pay the lesser surcharge rate – ask us.
