Latest Anti Aging Facial - Electro Acupuncture


The latest in beauty technology is the Electro-Acupuncture Facial which can eliminate fine lines & wrinkles without the aid of botox..
Without the use of needles the non-invasive therapy involves placing gold plated electrodes over certain reflex points on the skin as with acupuncture. A small micro current is then passed through to energise the skin cells to boost the skin's oxygenation & nutrition which boosts collagen production, this also helps to absorb the skin products that are used in the facial. Facials take around 45mins & unlike botox are pain free & relaxing... Prices From £60, 5 to 10 sessions are recommended.
