Newest fad. £450 for facial acupuncture. Of course #gifted to those that can easily afford it. Sam Chapman had it. And look who else pops up not answering a perfectly valid question.
Wot cost of living crisis?

The audacity of those women! As it happens I treated myself to a posh spa stay recently which I tend to do once or twice a year. This is generally where I try new body treatments and this year I PAID for an acupuncture session with a lovely Eastern European lady in her 60s. She was a qualified doctor with bags of experience. The treatment was a whole body one and some of the needles were placed between the eyes, around the nose and tips of cheeks etc. We had a long chat about tweakments and procedures. She said that for lasting subtle effect 5-10 sessions are needed. In all honestly, I found lying down still with needles stuck all over me too uncomfortable but enjoyed trying something new. £450 for one session sounds bonkers.

In my 20s acupuncture was incredible for sorting out a knee injury.
 
Sam Chapman grinds my gears. There's something very lazy and forced and cold about her content, it comes with an F-U vibe - much like She Here - and a feeling she has a lot of contempt and resentment for her audience. Her and her sister were supposed to have retired from social media because they both ended up hating it but I guess they couldn't find anything else to do that was lucrative so it was quickly back to the thrill of the shill.

When I saw the post yesterday I was struck by SC saying that this was a treatment that would be liked by 'Individuals that are financially invested in their skin'. I thought it was an odd expression. I looked at the post again today to read the comments and it looks as if she amended it to read 'Flush individuals that are very financially invested in their skin'. I may have missed the 'flush' and the 'very' the first time but I wonder if she amended it in response to comments about the cost.

I also wonder how many facial treatments SH has, gifted and non-gifted. She does seem to love a treatment - hair, nails, brows, spray tan. I remember her saying once that she loved everything about going to the hairdresser (whereas I hate everything about going to the hairdresser).
 
When I saw She Here last week, she didn't look particularly young. She just looks like a petite, shiny 49 year old woman. I've seen Caroline Hirons a few times too and she doesn't look any younger than my friends of a similar age. These women have all the cosmetics & latest treatments available, but close up neither look any younger or better than their age would lead you to expect.
 
I don’t believe the claims about fibroblasts bla bla bla that the Dr is making about his treatment protocol he’s invented. He’s used a metric fucktonne of needles there, you’re going to get swelling, which is going to ‘plump up’ your cheek. He’s also placed the needles horizontally, which isn’t a special technique, anyone trained in acupuncture can do that as you have to to access certain points. And a lot of people are also gong to get bruising alongside the swelling. Sounds like Sali got both. Is she a bit thick?! If it cost £30, they wouldn’t be cumming in their pants about it. Sali would not have mentioned it at all. She’s only mentioning it because she wants the tandem ‘prestige’ of having had that amount of ‘value’ done to her face.

And even if it did increase collagen production surely that wouldn't have an immediate plumping effect? It doesn't really seem to make sense.

That doctor also seems incredibly unprofessional hopping on to Sam Chapman's IG to answer so many people's negative comments (not that his answers are unprofessional, but the fact he's doing it. Seems very needy).
And his comments about it being a preventative treatment from about the age of 30. An investment. Brilliant. £450pm because women are committing the crime of aging.

No, it wouldn’t. The immediate plumping is swelling and a histamine response. You get that with any acupuncture treatment, it’s the body’s response to micro trauma (although he’s got an entire clinic’s supply in each cheek, so there’s an argument for dropping the ‘micro’).

Isn’t it just the same principle as those needle-rollers? Microscopic damage to the skin you can’t see, causing it to “plump” and make collagen?

In a way, yes, but Microneedling is much more controlled, you can set the depth very precisely, and it’s just going into the layers of the skin. He’s putting the needles through those layers into muscle, once the initial trauma settles you’re back to square one (and livid you’ve spent £450)

He’s very unprofessional in that he’s offering free treatments to blue tickers, whilst simultaneously trying to convince plebs they need to part with cash and if they really cared about their appearance they would do it

This is why I love this thread!

The 'beauty experts' (Chapman and hughes) don't seem to have clocked what you've all recognised as to how this works.

Totally agree with that many needles it's basically microneedling rather than acupuncture.

What a tragincally miserable existence they must lead, so desperate to mimic youth.

And so keen to tell us plebs it's 'research' for us. So selfless.
I'm torn about Sam. I like her content and think she is more honest than Sali (not difficult I know). But then she does stuff like that awful Revlon thing and promoting this acupuncture rip off. I guess she basically just an influencer but imo a more likeable one than Sali. But still an influencer.
 
So, according to her replies under that post, Sali had no irritation or redness once the needles were removed but bruising from day two? Seems like a lot of pain/trouble for something that doesn't provide long lasting results (once a month recommendation from the good doctor himself). So, for about a week every month you'll be bruised but "glowing" and "plumped". Did they even consider that their face is just swollen?

He's trademarked this procedure/practice as Acuskinlift and according to SC its so pricy because only he can do it.

Dunno, guys, but it seems like a bit of a scam to me tbh. 🤷‍♀️🧐

I think Sali & Sam (and their gang) are gullible & a bit thick. Of course there will be swelling with that many needles. Of course this effect won’t last. They just love a freebie so much they park their brains at the door & nod along to any old guff someone in a white coat tells them.

They're not supposed to think. They're supposed to parrot the marketing pamphlet.
 
Was just thinking back to when Sam posted on her thread. She came on and set a few things straight, mainly to defend her sister and husband. She had said that she didn’t care about what people said about her but she didn’t like things being said about her loved ones. No furious name calling or ranting about trolls and mental health. Not directed at anyone in particular and all out in the open for everyone to see. I bet She Here was raging she didn’t think of such an approach herself

It’s a mentally robust person’s response. You have to be mentally in a good place to pull it off.

That's the thing about any anti-ageing procedure/product you "invest" in. Since you have no way to compare how you'd age without it, you just have to have blind faith in its promises. The whole industry is based on creating fear then selling tit to ameliorate that fear, but never so well that you relax and unclench because then you might stop buying it (in both senses). It's all very textbook religious when you think about it
