Pinned Down

Needles: you don’t go near them if you can help it.
But if you knew what could be achieved with a mere few, you might welcome John Tsagaris into your life. The therapist-cum-doctor is reassuringly instinctive; like the needles he uses in his skin-plumping Acu-Lift facial, he’s spot on.
A qualified doctor of Chinese medicine, Tsagaris practices ‘diagnostic beauty’. The main purpose of his facial is to plump and tone the skin using a combination of massage and acupuncture needles. You’ll resemble a cat with whiskers for some minutes, but the effects are amazing.
Tsagaris will also administer needles to other areas of the body to help clear poor digestion, constipation or insomnia, which in turn will clear your complexion (he’ll know what’s wrong with you simply by looking at you; it’s creepy).
The effects are Botoxesque, but the treatment is wholly noninvasive.
And, thankfully, straight to the point.
