What sort of beauty treatments should Mi-Anne try next? Let us know in the comments!
Refinery29 Organic makeup!!
Refinery29 random color challenge
The crystal face roller (idk what their actually called but it's a crystal that you rub on your face)
Refinery29 Derma rolling !
COLD-HEAT CONTRAST BATHS !!!!
The thought of her accidentally poking the needle into a vein will go thorough my mind and I would not be able to relax
Especially when she put it on the sides of her head and neck, I can’t even stand having a pimple on the sides of my head because even that gives me a headache😭
What about I.V’s? Those go into your vein?
You'd be fine veins repair themselves, piercings sometimes go through them & within like 18 hours they're almost fully repaired. It's arteries you've got to be worried about but with this that's highly unlikely lmao
Just think positive...this treatment has gotta be better than Botox needles.
I’m an acupuncturist. If you bleed, it usually means you have weak blood vessels. It is actually a good test of your vein health. I tell people who bleed to take Diosmin to strengthen blood vessels. It works in a few days.
And there's me who's scared of pricking my finger on a single needle
Ohhhh final destination 😩 where the guy got killed while getting these needles .
Ik frr I was like oh that person from final destination 3 died in the spa,, and I clicked on the video to see what these are for
Or 1000 ways to die lol
Yeah! I got that impression too! I blame horror movies for this horrible fear of almost everything! :(
Yeah.... ...😯😯😧😧😧😧
And im scared of places like home depot from the gurl in final destination 3 who got shot w nail gun
Idk about others, but I have always found this process horrifying. Maybe its just me?
My grand father was an acupuncturist and I've learned to just roll with it haha It really helped me with my eyesight, eczema flare ups, and stomach issues so I'm sold lol
Most of our clients are far more triggered by the look of needles than the actual feel when receiving them. But for those who are needle phobic there are other genius tools we use like Facial Gua Sha, Cupping and Hot herbal poultice - all of which are very relaxing while also being effective.
arshia jain it's super relaxing, effective for many conditions and not at all painful - the most you'll feel is a brief pinprick. Quality of sleep after acupuncture is amazing too!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I AM MORTIFYED.
id rather die than get this treatment
You are very brave, this woman didn’t do any hygiene cleaning or use alcohol rub your skin before needling, and she touched your skin right away after taking out needles, which are totally unprofessional and dangerous of spreading blood pathogenic diseases. She will never pass the Acupuncture exam and get her license in my province by doing what she did in this video.
And to clarify about cupping, silicon cup does not work. so you don’t need to expect too much from it. Only fire cupping does efforts on improving circulation. Silicon cups did suck your skin surface only and have no efforts on anything.
What made your skin different is Acupuncture and GuaSha. And if you do GuaSha at home everyday, you can see the big improvement too.
@my golden Life china obv said "province"
@@llamaliammm we have provinces in the netherlands too😅
Maybe they cut out that part in the video?
She's getting used to it that why
Whuzzin Gamont there are provinces in Ireland too
I'm a little nervous around needles and I tried acupuncture to help with my mental health and some period pain. I don't think I've ever had such an immediate and positive response to a medical procedure before! I am so glad that I tried it out!
If you're on the edge of trying it, go for it! It was INCREDIBLE for pain relief and the effects are so long-lasting!
(also you don't really see/feel the needles cause it's out of your sight-line so I didn't find it scary once we started!) :)
Im worried when she pushed those needles a little too deep
It was really painful. I had it just today for my migraine. If only I have a choice I will never do it.
@@marbeeidk5892 hm really? They aren’t supposed to hurt much :/ are you sure they are professionals 😂
That is why they use that straw like tool so it pushes in the exact amount
@@bfkesnriwksbdje8115 Yes but she did push them in without the tool
@@bfkesnriwksbdje8115 those are used to get the right area and are able to get it inside easier than pricking her
I feel like I’m the only one who watches these before I go to sleep and it relaxes me alot😂🥱
This actually gave me anxiety
“Do you have any concerns?” You mean, aside from getting dozens of needles shoved into my face?
Acupuncture is literally the best thing I’ve ever done to help treat my face during my seasonal allergies
I died like 50 times watching this lol
shailene Tabitha
Me too 😱
Does the average human die more than once in different life forms or one only? Heaven hell which one did you see fifty times?
R/wooosh all of you
Same
I use this for arthritis in my knees - AMAZING! The results are immediate!
It's just the placebo effect.
@@Tina662AJ same thing for the flu shot
it's streaky no that’s real
Before quarantine, my mom would go regularly to an acupuncturist and she is so much more energetic, happy, and over all her health was boosted 💖
The way she literally "slapped" and pushed them in...i got goosebumps and my fear of needles rise...
Acupuncture is the best thing I could have done for my body. I only went in for 3 treatments, but it made a world of difference.
TheresSomethingAboutSherry what did it do for you? Glad you had a good experience!
That's the placebo effect, my friend
Acupuncture is a game changer!
TheresSomethingAboutSherry wasuscared 😳😩🙈 I am
TheresSomethingAboutSherry what treatments did you do? What difference did you see?
Love that you are bringing attention to this!! LOVE NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE!!
Omg your makeup and your face looks so glowly and fresh! The maintenance care that you been doing at home definitely looks like it’s been working I want to get into that as well
OMG thank you for posting this...looks amazing
I love the matching eyeshadow and hair!!! pink pink pink
Loved the video. I’m hearing a lot about gua sha lately and would really like to try it. It looks like such an affordable way to maintain good skin.
wow this facial looks amazing. I want that gua sha tool!!!
So a lot of people are saying needles terrify them but this looks so satisfying I would love to try facial acupuncture
I do think that acupuncture is relaxing. I've done before and I've honestly never felt better. Sometimes I did feel uncomfortable but once the tension was released I felt so relaxed. I got super sleepy during and after.
For people who don’t know, acupuncture is also great for all sorts of muscle related treatments. Korea, where “Chinese medicine” is one of the official medical branch along “Western medicine”, a lot of people, athletes visit for intense treatment on injuries and clinical care.
I've always been super afraid to try acupuncture so tysm for doing this! I think I'm gonna drag my bf to an acupuncture sesh for my birthday!! Can't wait for next week's episode!!
+charlotteultime Yay! thanks for watching!!
so cool!! love this
Loved this video (and love Mi-Anne) ! I’m terrified of needles, but I believe in facing your fears, especially when the outcome can be so good! I’m now definitely interested in doing this type of facial :)
omg. I hate needles so much. I wouldn't imagine myself getting a facial acupuncture Lol 😅
Facial acupuncture is definitely not for the extremely needle phobic we would agree! But perhaps Facial Gua Sha or Cupping would be helpful for you.
i'm extremely terrified of needles and got an acupuncture once on my back and it was so scary even though i couldn't see a thing....i can't imagine putting needles on my face lol
I just had this done on my back today for chronic lower back pain instantly pain subsided 🤗
You should try cool sculpting,
She should try cupping/hijama
@@julianameirakpam6365 my parents did it and my uncle and they said it soothes all the pain and feel way better
I love acupuncture. Haven’t tried it on my face but I want to. It really helps and so relaxing for me
This looks great, what I don't get is why it has to be so pricey. It make it only acssesable for the wealthy.
I've been working as a Holistic Technician for 30yrs, yet my prices are set so ALL can afford it.
We would agree with you Ethericrose, we do try to make this as affordable as possible given our New York City rent and believe in paying our practitioners and staff a good living wage. There are many factors and considerations that go into how we charge. The most important thing is that all varieties of costs are available out there, there are those who are less costly than us and those that are far more expensive. We are somewhere in the middle.
Ethericrose New York City is very pricey that's why... it cost money to live here and have a business
Logic: some massage and needles is 400dollars
I’m an acupuncturist. Office rent is expensive. Needles, sheets, internet, phone, printer, insurance, acupuncture license. You name it. You are paying for all expenses, not just our time.
Another great video!
Love her hair color😍
Do the gold facial!
Her face is flawless ‼️
'You're just gonna feel a little... nothing, probably - did you feel that?' - totally sums up my experience of acupuncture!
Hi Mi-Anne! I could really see the results you got after the treatment! How long did the results last?
I love the pink hair!!
Love it 😍Mi Anne your so awesome!!!!!!!
Acupuncture is fascinating and want to go into that field.
Man your much braver than i am i would have been to chicken to do it anyway love ya😁
Mi Anne Chan your welcome❤
Pink hair suits her so much
These videos are so relaxing to watch!
You can also use a comb to scrape your face with face oil. Works just the same
So noticeable!
Looks like the best job ever
Did you enjoy the gua Sha? Looks so soothing!!
THIS SEEMS SO SCARY!! Girl You are a real trooper!!!
Love the facials. More facials! Or other crazy facials. Maybe try krotherapy?
Oh my.... 2020.. I need this one
hi i really want to know does it work for acne or pimple skin ? How you feel after acupuncture treatment ? How many times do you have to do as one treatment ? Thank you xxx
So excited to try this 😂
excellent video. 🙂
I’m terrified of needles but I still wanna try this.
Love you Mi!!
OMG OMG OMG MY COMMENT GOT HEART
OMG MI ANNE REPLIED TO MY COMMENT
Makes me consider going back to acupuncture again.
Doesn’t that increase the risk of pimples? .. like your putting a hole in your skin inviting germs ..
I really doubt that, considering that it proves to show results in blood flow. Also, since there is medicine involved with the needles I doubt that it would encourage breakouts
Omg this is sooo cool
I wanna try this 😍
Ya'll ever watched Final Destination....
that one is special
I got relaxed watching this like I felt like it was me lol
the usage of the Gua Sha tool looks really therapeutic tbh
I could never do this. I am terrified of needles. But, maybe I'd be able to do it in the future...
This would be so good for lymphatic drainage.
Your skin is perfect now with all the facials .you should start getting some hair treatments now .
Its like getting a shot, a thousand times.
I remember my mum took me to an acupuncturist to help me with my depression, irregular periods, acne, anxiety and even insomnia. I was very nervous since a guy was doing it to me and I did have to strip down a little but he made sure I was comfortable and well covered with towels. Overall the experience was very relaxing and not as horrifying as people make it out to be. It’s just a shame that I couldn’t continue my healing process due to Covid but oh well, such is life now.
@Kiyraa Miller yeah he asked me about my period and whether I was pregnant or sexual active all while my mum was present in the room so it was a bit (^-^). But it was all chill afterwards
Hi dear, how are you now, did accpuncture work?
For everyone saying, “this will hurt” or “this hurt me” it doesn’t hurt, I did these when I was 8 till I was 10 (a family friend was going to school to do this and practiced on me) I don’t even have a super high pain tolerance but to each their own so...
Needles don't scare me. It's the extreme redness that would bother me. My skin is *extremely* sensitive. I've broken out in a matter on minutes just because I stepped outside in the extreme heat or extreme cold and it takes days to get my face clear and white again.
Can you do a video about treating "bags underneath eyes segment," there's so many products!
+lisadimech Ooh, interesting!
Hi I am a beauty therapist saw this vdo quite interesting so wanted to ask if I can get a training courses here in india
Omg this would scare me so much ur rly brave 😂
these needles are not hurting, I've done this treatment for PCOS, i didn't even felt the pain
Mi please do something for hair care related
Fur quie serville i acunpulctura?
I’ve been really really wanting to try facial acupuncture, for my breakouts and fine lines. This video gave me such bad anxiety I don’t know if I can handle it. 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
What is jaw line tighting point
It just remind me of final destination
Would acupuncture help with fibromyalgia?
Anyone have any good facial oils reconditions??
Do you sterilize those needles
1:50 Wtf I just felt that before she said that, 🤣
You should try cupping!
slay gurl slayyyyyy
I use to get accupunture done but it made me worse. Like I'm talking migraines, spasms, just overall body ache and made me so nauseated.
Your so beautiful an my grandma used it ❤❤❤❤
Can you please provide the information of the spa for us. Name of the location, phone number, address etc is much appreciated.
can I start working at refinery or atleast work with her cuz my skin is hella bad 😳😳😪
I would have my eyes closed the whole time
Hi! is it hurt?
I just had it today for my migraine for the first time. I hope they don't say it is not painful because it is painful. Each needles insertion is almost the same pain when your in the dentist injection for a tooth extraction. Until now my face were still swollen. Not all will have the same results.
Please find another acupuncturist.
I really want to try acupuncture but I have a bad fear of needles😣
Great😊
Me : scared of injection but low-key wanna try this😋😁
youre so brave! I really want to try that jade tool now. Do you think jade rollers do the same thing?
When she pushed the needles in a bit after she puts them it I feel sick and I get goosebumps LOL
is there any therapy for a serious pain in your head??? i really need it tho...i feel so tight up there.
