About Me
Helen Were Acupuncture is a holistic and natural treatment provider located in Mid-Sussex. Helen has a background in yoga and a strong interest in eastern medicine, which led to qualifications in general acupuncture, facial acupuncture, and non-penetrative Japanese acupuncture. She believes in diagnosing and treating the underlying imbalances in the body rather than purely treating symptoms.
She specialises in facial rejuvenation and lifting without the use of botox and offers a range of treatments to promote wellness and rejuvenation. She is a fully qualified and experienced acupuncturist
holding a Bachelors of Science in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine awarded by the University of Greenwich. She is a member of the British Acupuncture Council and a registered Toyahari (Japanese acupuncture) practitioner.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
As we age, our skin's natural renewal process slows, leading to decreased collagen production and the emergence of wrinkles.
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture, is a natural and non-toxic way to minimise fine lines and wrinkles and renew the glow of the skin to provide a more youthful look to the face. Facial acupuncture will not only boost collagen production, but will also support your overall health and improve skin elasticity. I use the finest acupuncture needles and pure essential oils to enhance natural beauty and reduce many of the facial signs of ageing in an entirely natural way.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is more than a cosmetic treatment, it is a holistic approach to wellness that enhances your natural beauty while supporting your mind, body, and spirit. In Chinese medicine, the face is a reflection of overall health, and by improving circulation, balancing Qi, and nourishing the skin, we encourage radiance from within. As a result I often find that people who come for Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture report that other problems have been resolved or relieved by the overall effect of the treatment. My treatments will nourish the spirit, helping you feel refreshed, confident, and empowered. As your skin glows, so does your sense of well-being because true radiance starts from within.
By stimulating specific acupuncture points on the face and body, this treatment:
-
Promotes healthy blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the skin
-
Encourages collagen production, reducing fine lines and improving skin elasticity
-
Supports lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and brightening the complexion
-
Relieves tension and stress, calming the nervous system for inner and outer balance
-
Enhances overall energy flow (Qi), addressing deeper imbalances that affect vitality
All facial acupuncture treatments include facial massage using my own blends of essential oils and treatment with Celluma Low Level Light Therapy where appropriate. We cover between Brighton to East Grinstead including Lewes and Tunbridge Wells, if you live outside this area please still feel free to get in touch an we will see what we can do!
It is recommended to have a series of 10 weekly treatments and packages are available, however many people start to see results after their first treatment. Book your first treatment here!
DermapeN Microneedling
Dermapen 4 microneedling offers a precise, technology-led approach to skin rejuvenation. The automated device uses fine, adjustable needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This is designed to encourage the skin’s natural repair response and support the production of collagen and elastin.
​
Each Dermapen treatment is tailored to your skin, concerns and chosen treatment area. Microneedling may help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, enlarged-looking pores, pigmentation, acne scarring and skin that has lost some of its firmness or radiance. Results develop gradually and will vary between individuals.
​
Treatment is available for the face, face and neck, or face, neck and décolletage. You can choose microneedling with Meso-Glide serum or a premium exosome treatment. Meso-Glide helps the Dermapen device move smoothly across the skin while applying carefully selected topical ingredients. Exosome serum is available as an enhanced treatment option and can be discussed during your consultation.
​
A standard Dermapen microneedling appointment lasts approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. Body and scalp acupuncture can also be added for £50, adding approximately 30 minutes to the appointment. Personalised preparation and aftercare advice are provided to help you understand what to expect before and following treatment.
​
Dermapen microneedling treatments in Sussex start from £275. Courses of three receive 10% off, while courses of six receive 15% off. I welcome clients from across Sussex and surrounding areas, including Brighton, Lewes, East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells.
​
If you are considering microneedling for skin rejuvenation but are unsure which treatment is right for you, book a free 15-minute, in-person consultation. We can discuss your skin concerns, medical history, desired outcome and whether Dermapen microneedling is suitable for you.
