Yes, acupuncture can be safe and effective for children, and treatments are often adapted to be gentler.

If your child is afraid of needles, I usually use an alternative tool instead of needles and also use alternative techniques like acupressure.

Question 7

I’ve already had an initial acupuncture session. Do I still need to book a 'Facial Acupuncture Initial' session?

Accepted Answer

No, you don’t need to book a separate 'Facial Acupuncture Initial' session. The initial consultation is required for any first-time acupuncture treatment, whether regular or facial, because it allows me to perform a full diagnosis. Even for facial acupuncture, it’s important to consider the entire body system to effectively enhance the appearance of your face.
