A Natural Alternative to Injectables
Cosmetic acupuncture works with your body rather than on it. Instead of introducing foreign substances into the skin, it uses fine needles placed at specific points on the face and body to encourage your skin's own renewal processes, stimulating collagen production, improving circulation, and supporting the internal health that shows in your complexion.
At Nettles Clinic, this approach goes further than facial needling alone. Marion treats the whole person, addressing the underlying constitutional imbalances that contribute to how your skin ages. Because, as Marion puts it: your face comes from your life. A treatment here addresses both.
What a Treatment at Nettles Clinic Includes
Facial and Body Acupuncture
Fine needles are placed at points on the face and at body points selected for your individual constitution. The facial points encourage localised collagen production, improved muscle tone, and better circulation. The body points support the internal systems that influence skin health, energy, and overall wellbeing. You may notice benefits beyond your complexion after treatment.
Dermapen Microneedling
Marion uses the Dermapen, a medical-grade microneedling device, to create controlled micro-channels in the skin that stimulate the body's natural repair response. Unlike derma rollers, the Dermapen's vertical needle delivery eliminates the risk of skin tearing. Each treatment uses a single-use sterile cartridge. Microneedling is recommended no more than once a month and is often combined with acupuncture sessions in between.
Dermalux LED Light Therapy
Following treatment, Dermalux LED light therapy is used to boost cellular activity and support the skin's recovery and renewal process. LED therapy is non-invasive, painless, and enhances the results of both acupuncture and microneedling by accelerating the healing response.
Who Cosmetic Acupuncture Is For
Cosmetic acupuncture at Nettles Clinic is suitable for both women and men. It is particularly well suited to people who:
- Want visible skin improvements without injections, fillers, or surgical procedures
- Are noticing early changes in skin tone, firmness, or fine lines
- Have experienced unwanted side effects from cosmetic injectables and want a natural alternative
- Are interested in addressing the internal health factors that influence how they look and feel
- Are looking for a treatment that improves general wellbeing alongside cosmetic results
Marion recommends a course of 10 to 12 sessions within a three-month period for best results, with maintenance sessions to follow. Individual sessions are available for those who would like to try the treatment first.

Most people find cosmetic acupuncture very comfortable. The needles used on the face are extremely fine, and any sensation is typically brief. Many patients find the overall experience deeply relaxing.
Botox and dermal fillers introduce substances into the skin to temporarily freeze or fill targeted areas. Cosmetic acupuncture stimulates your skin's own collagen production and circulation, producing natural-looking results that improve gradually with each session. There are no injections, no recovery time, and no risk of the frozen or overfilled appearance that can result from injectable treatments.
A course of 10 to 12 sessions within three months is recommended for most people, with maintenance sessions every four to six weeks thereafter. Individual results vary depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
Yes. Cosmetic acupuncture is equally effective for men and women. Men commonly seek treatment for improving skin texture, reducing puffiness, and addressing the early signs of ageing.
A gap between injectable treatments and cosmetic acupuncture is recommended. Please mention any recent cosmetic procedures when booking so Marion can advise on timing.
