Cosmetic Acupuncture – The Best Way to Fight Aging

Cosmetic Acupuncture is often referred to as Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. It is a chemical-free and non-surgical way of improving not only the complexion but also, the texture of the skin of the face.

Who can benefit from Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Anyone!  

• Anyone looking for that sun kissed complexion all year round.  

• Anyone who wants to see plumper, more bouncy and dewy skin.  
• Anyone who has tired fine lines or dull dehydrated skin.  

Why and how does it work? 

Hair-thin acupuncture needles are inserted into specific areas of the face to boost blood flow and enhance the skin’s ability to repair sagging, dull or sunken areas that are commonly seen around problem areas. 

What will be done on my face?

In each session, these needles are inserted into acupoint-specific places on the face. The selected acupoints are often chosen in conjunction with a full Chinese Medicine diagnosis (which includes diagnostic pulse taking) during your visit to determine what underlying cause may be driving the skin to patterns of dehydration, wrinkling, dull complexion or acne. 

Is Cosmetic acupuncture comfortable? 

Cosmetic acupuncture is a comfortable way of bolstering your body’s own natural mechanisms of skin repair. The procedure gives the body the enhanced ability to circulate blood more freely to areas (like the face) that may not get efficient blood flow during the course of a typical day It also allows the body to relax and open up blood vessels, further improving circulation and  allowing the better transport of reparative molecules and collagen proteins to the skin’s surface. This helps the skin to repair, plump up and firm up more effectively.

When is it the best time to get Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Anytime! 

We spend a lot of our working day sitting at a desk. Because of this, we are not moving around as much as we would like to. You can imagine what happens to our circulation in these circumstances.  

This is the perfect treatment to get all year round, especially during the winter when there’s less sun to catch and everyone’s feeling pale and glum. Cosmetic Acupuncture is a nice way to get that summer glow and feel good in your own skin again. 

How many treatments can I expect to get before I see that glow?  

It can take anywhere from 4-5 weekly treatments to see considerable improvement in skin elasticity or complexion. Depending on how acute or longstanding your skin issues are, you may need longer or more frequent treatment. The Acupuncturist will work with you to determine an appropriate treatment plan.
