It’s a natural alternative, safe, effective and drug-free. Cosmetic Acupuncture has developed from principles of Chinese Medicine. Practitioners now apply these time-tested principles to remove fine lines and wrinkles from the face. Signs of aging disappear, and a youthful visage returns as Cosmetic Acupuncture stimulates circulation and encourages collagen production, helping to eliminate age-lines and renew a healthy and glowing complexion. The process involves the insertion of extremely fine (disposable) needles into specific acupuncture points on the face to induce a fresh rush of circulation that nourishes the skin, oxygenates and moisturizes from the inside out. With enhanced circulation, the body naturally produces more collagen, which in turn tightens the skin resulting in a firmer, more resilient and youthful appearance. “A 1996 report in The International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 98% had noticeable results after just one course of treatment. Effects included tightened and lifted skin, improved elasticity and overall rejuvenation.” Many clients combined Cosmetic Acupuncture with regular (body) acupuncture to improve overall circulation of blood and energy, which promotes overall health and well being. Common Questions: Why Does Skin Sag? According to the ancient principles of Chinese medicine, wrinkles begin internally when the body’s intrinsic energy weakens or loses balance. This intrinsic energy is called Qi, and it circulates throughout the body on a system of pathways called Meridians. Qi flows within the meridians to provide nourishment and support to every cell, tissue, muscle and organ, including all parts of the face. As we get older, our bodies begin to feel the effects of poor diet and stress from emotions and the environment. Such effects impede the flow of Qi as it flows upward to lift the face. Reduced flow of Qi leads to inadequate muscle tone, and over time, wrinkles and sagging skin. How Does Cosmetic Acupuncture Work? Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as acupuncture face lift, utilizes centuries-old Chinese medical theory to restore and rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. Practitioners first treat patients with acupuncture needles and then enhance the effect with collagen masks and micro-current massage. These techniques combine to increase blood circulation to the face and thus stimulate collagen production, increase muscle tone and tighten facial tissue to restore a healthy, glowing complexion.
