Cosmetic Acupuncture
How can Cosmetic Acupuncture reduce the signs of aging?
Cosmetic Acupuncture can take 5-10 years off of your face and remove signs of aging.
- It helps eliminate fine lines and diminish larger facial lines
- Lifts sagging facial muscles
- Gives the person a healthier glow
- Reduction of puffiness and bagginess
- Improves acne
- Moisturizes the skin from inside, and gives rosy cheeks to people with dull, tired looking skin
The safest, most natural way to reduce the signs of aging.
How does it work?
The acupuncture stimulation brings more nutrients to the treated areas. By doing so, it improves collagen production for skin cells and muscle tone to lift the face.
- This can lift sagging areas and reduce puffiness to the eyes.
- Improve blood flow to the face, and improve facial color. As a result, it will increase radiance and natural glow of the face.
- Acupuncture has been found to alleviate the effects of stress, and promotes overall health and well-being. Since stress can cause tightening of muscles on the face, this side benefit of acupuncture will further reduce lines on the face.
What do the treatments involve?
- Your treatment will begin with an assessment and review of your health history on 1st visit. We will determine the areas to work on, and come up with an individualized plan on how to improve your facial contour.
- Since beauty comes from the inside as well, we will also look at how we can improve your overall health.
- A course of treatment is between 10-12 sessions, with maintenance treatment recommended once per month, or if there are any special occasions that you want to look dazzling for. Best results are achieved when the treatment is performed 1-3 times per week. Visible differences will be noticeable within 6-7 sessions.
Does it hurt?
The treatment is carried out with very fine disposable needles that are about the thickness of a hair. Therefore, most people say they don’t feel any pain at all. If you ever had your eyebrows plucked by an esthetician, acupuncture has been said to be much less uncomfortable than that.
How is it different than cosmetic surgery?
The improvements you see with cosmetic acupuncture are more natural-looking than surgery, and it is also less invasive at the same time.
