Cosmetic Acupuncture

Holistic TCM Care × Gentle Needling × Natural-Looking Results

Cosmetic acupuncture at Prime & Naturals combines Korean-inspired facial acupuncture techniques with a traditional Chinese medicine approach. Ultra-fine needles are applied to selected facial acupuncture points and tissues to support local circulation and overall skin wellbeing.Treatment may help improve the appearance of skin texture, facial tone and definition. Rather than aiming for a dramatic overnight change, each plan is tailored to your skin, health needs and lifestyle, with an emphasis on gradual, natural-looking results.

The “brightness” brought by Cosmetic Acupuncture is not surface-level whitening, but a natural radiance that appears as the body relaxes and restores balance;
The brightness associated with cosmetic acupuncture is not about bleaching or changing your natural skin tone. It is about supporting a healthier-looking, more refreshed complexion. Likewise, a firmer appearance does not mean an artificial lift; the aim is a subtle improvement in tone and definition over time.

Each treatment is tailored to your complexion, health needs and lifestyle. We focus on gradual progress rather than an instant transformation, working at a pace that feels comfortable and appropriate for you.

Acupoint Thread Embedding

Longer-Lasting Stimulation × Metabolic Support × Weight Management

At Prime & Naturals, acupoint thread embedding involves placing absorbable medical threads at selected acupuncture points to provide ongoing stimulation after treatment. Compared with standard acupuncture, the effects of point stimulation may continue between appointments. In Chinese medicine, this treatment may be used as part of a broader plan to support digestive function, metabolic health and weight management. Your practitioner will assess your health, constitution and goals before recommending whether it is suitable for you.

Acupoint thread embedding is generally used as part of an individualised treatment plan rather than as a stand-alone answer to a single symptom. Ongoing stimulation of selected acupuncture points may support digestive and metabolic wellbeing between appointments. For people managing weight or cardiometabolic risk factors, it may be considered alongside appropriate medical care, nutrition, physical activity and other lifestyle measures. A registered Chinese medicine practitioner will assess suitability based on your health history, current condition and individual needs.

Four Key Features

Longer-lasting stimulation: support continues between visits

Individualised approach: treatment based on your constitution

Fewer sessions: no need for daily acupuncture

Integrated management: supporting better overall results

Paediatric Tui Na

Gentle Techniques × Individualised Care × Everyday Wellbeing

Paediatric tui na is a form of Chinese medicine manual therapy developed for children. Gentle techniques are applied to selected areas of the body according to the child’s presentation and Chinese medicine assessment. It may be considered for children experiencing common functional concerns, for families who prefer a non-invasive option, or as part of a broader plan alongside appropriate medical care.

Paediatric tui na takes a whole-child approach. Treatment is guided by the child’s constitution, digestion, sleep and day-to-day wellbeing. Families may seek support for concerns such as nasal sensitivity, a blocked or runny nose, unsettled sleep, reduced appetite, fussy eating or constipation. Chinese herbal medicine may also be considered when clinically appropriate. Please speak with a registered practitioner for individual advice, and seek medical care promptly for persistent, severe or concerning symptoms.

Does Your Child Experience Any of These?

Nasal sensitivity or enlarged adenoids

Rhinitis

Frequent colds during seasonal changes

Full-Body Moxibustion

Whole-Body Warmth × Mugwort Therapy × Holistic TCM Care

Full-body moxibustion is a warming therapy used in Chinese medicine. Gentle heat and mugwort-based herbal warmth are applied across the body to promote relaxation and support comfort. From a Chinese medicine perspective, treatment is intended to warm the channels and address patterns described as cold or damp. Some people seek this therapy for cold sensitivity, tiredness or general wellbeing support.

Full-body moxibustion may be considered for people who commonly feel cold, experience cold hands and feet or tiredness, or are looking for a warming therapy as part of their wellbeing routine. In Chinese medicine practice, it may also be considered for menstrual discomfort associated with cold patterns and other constitution-based concerns. A registered Chinese medicine practitioner will assess whether the treatment is appropriate for your individual health needs. Moxibustion is not suitable for everyone, and referral for medical assessment may be recommended where needed.

Frequently cold hands and feet

Menstrual discomfort associated with cold patterns

Feelings of heaviness or tiredness

Your practitioner will assess whether the treatment is suitable and explain how it may fit alongside your usual healthcare.
