Done under the careful watch of cosmetic acupuncturist, Sarah Bradden, TV star Lisa elaborated further: "After a full body diagnosis from looking at my tongue I had the most relaxing treatment that involved, a laser LED on my tummy to sooth my digestive system, a hydrating sheet mask over the needles as well as an LED eye mask and reflexology. A total whole body experience and my skin looked incredible after too." She added: "I'm definitely going to have more as it reminds the muscles where they need or used to be, so over time as well as treating the whole body it's super lifting and toning as well as rejuvenating for the skin."
