TREATMENTS
INDULGE YOURSELF
Tried-and-tested experiences of the month
The venue: THE CHIRON CLINIC
The service: Facial and body acupuncture
The verdict: “De-puff your face,” those were the words
that persuaded me into trying facial acupuncture. I was aware
that it wouldn’t hurt. Having done everything from laser to
lip fillers prior to this, acupuncture was a treatment I knew I
would see instant results, not just on the surface, but from
the inside. Dr. Lanalle, Founder of The Chiron Clinic, sat me
down to explain the process. Facial and body acupuncture is
an invasive organic treatment that is slowly gaining popularity.
We learn that most women try it out as a beauty treatment,
however, after achieving great results, continue to do so due
to the benefits. After analysing my skin, I was informed that if
I continued with facial acupuncture twice a year, I wouldn’t
need botox in the future. At the bed, my ears were pricked
first with fine sterile needles to calm the body. My face was
then pulled up, all the way from my chin to the head, to prick
the scalp with three needles. The area that had a little
discomfort was below the jawline, and I was told this is either
due to a blockage of energy or because I grind my teeth a lot.
My kidney energy was analysed during the process, through
my pulse, and I was given tips on how to increase it – have
around 20 goji berries a day, and brisk walk or jog. My legs,
feet and arms were pricked too. Once done, I was asked to
rest for 20 minutes to allow the needles to improve blood
and energy circulation, increase natural collagen production
and diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dull
skin. Other benefits include calming regular breakouts,
controlling rosacea by reducing redness, and tightening and
toning of the skin. My skin felt refreshed, as though I had a
sound eight-to ten-hours sleep. I did notice a slight lift as well,
with my jawline now being a bit sculpted. To notice drastic
improvement, you obviously have to continue the sessions.
There’s no doubt I’m going back, not just for acupuncture,
but for their DNA-age test and a full-body massage too.
Think of The Chiron Clinic as your one-stop-shop to heal
the body. Walk in, explain your problem – be it digestion,
irregular sleep patterns, weight loss difficulty, or body
misalignment – and Dr. Lanalle and her team have a solution.
