Anna Saraon, MBAcC
Hello, I’m Anna, an Acupuncturist who is passionate about Traditional Chinese Medicine and using natural techniques to help patients restore their health and feel their best.
I have appointments available at Apotheca in Faversham on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Bookings can be made by contacting me directly on hello@acupuncturebyanna.co.uk
Acupuncture aims to treat the whole person (both physically and emotionally) by identifying the root cause of their condition instead of treating their symptoms alone. I pride myself on my ability to listen to each patient and provide the personalised treatment they need in a gentle and supportive way.
I am passionate about keeping my skills fresh, and my post-graduate learning includes the following:
Acupuncture for Fertility and IVF support
Treating recurrent miscarriage
Treating menopause
Safe treatment during pregnancy
Treating teenagers
Sports Medicine Acupuncture
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC).

Welcome! We can offer you more appointments over the phone than online, so do ring us if you can't find a suitable time and date.
Treatment
Whilst you should leave the treatment feeling relaxed with a lovely glow, optimal and more lasting results can be achieved with a course of treatments (ideally 10 sessions), followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 weeks.
Please note the treatment cannot be used over botox or fillers and is not suitable for people taking blood thinners, those with very thin skin that bruises easily, or a history of allergic reaction or skin cancer.
By increasing movement through massage techniques, congestion is decreased, lymphatic flow is increased and the skin is encouraged to naturally clear obstructions which can lead to issues such as puffiness, sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes and dark circles.
Tools include a warm Thai herbal poultice and crystal gua sha board, spoons and mushrooms.
improve muscle tone
reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
improve circulation and give the skin a lovely glow
enhance your overall health and wellbeing (I include suitable body points to help address any internal disharmonies which might be contributing to facial issues such as sagging jowels, redness, dark circles, acne, dry skin etc).
I incorporate Celluma LED light therapy into my treatments to maximise results. Research has shown that low level light therapy can help to increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone, texture and clarity.
It is up to the client how any treatments they would like – from a few sessions in the run up to a special occasion to regular treatments throughout the year.
Results may be evident after the first session (and you should leave feeling relaxed and glowing), although improvements are usually clearer after a minimum of 3 treatments. For optimal results, a course of 10 weekly treatments is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks.
What will happen at my initial session?
At our first session, I will undertake a thorough consultation so as to gain an understanding of your overall health. This will enable me to tailor the treatments to you as an individual, so you gain maximum benefit from them.
Alongside points on your face I will use a few well chosen body points, which will help to address any underlying disharmonies which could be contributing to any facial issues, alongside leaving you feeling under-par.
Once all the needles have been inserted, the Celluma light therapy device is positioned over the face whilst you relax. Following removal of the needles, a soothing face mask is applied, then the treatment ends with facial cupping and a relaxing facial massage.
Facial enhancement acupuncture is a safe treatment. However, it is contraindicated/unsuitable in the following instances:
Less than 3 months after treatment with Botox or fillers
History of skin cancer
Uncontrolled high blood pressure or regular migraines
When taking blood thinners or undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment
During pregnancy or breastfeeding
This is followed by a facial cupping massage. A rejuvenating oil is applied to the skin and a gentle suction is created within a silicone cup, which is moved gently across the skin. This increases local blood flow and prompts a natural healing process: reducing puffiness, boosting collagen production, brightening the complexion and helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
