4.2 PREPARATION

Before you start your Facial Enhancement Acupuncture treatment, and even prior to your patient arriving at the clinic, make sure that you are well prepared and have your supplies ready. You will need cotton wool and cotton buds and also some cleanser to remove any make-up or just to cleanse your patient’s face before you start the facial treatment. We will go into more depth in Step 4.3.4 of the treatment protocol, but it is recommended to have some skin-numbing cream and arnica on hand. Tweezers are also necessary for insertion of the intradermal needles.

Like any traditional acupuncture treatment, you will need to be able to access your patient’s feet, legs, hands and arms, so that you can use the constitutional acupuncture points before you start working on the face. These points will be used to ground and relax the patient in order to make the treatment as pleasurable as possible.

The amount of time that you set aside for FEA treatment is entirely up to you and you will get this down to a fine art once you have carried out a few sessions. Personally, I like to allow at least two hours for my first treatment, as we will need to carry out an in-depth initial consultation and we will be adding in a clearing or detox protocol. Subsequently, my sessions are 75 minutes, but I allow an hour and a half, so that the patient has time to relax and not feel rushed following the treatment.
