Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic Acupuncture – non-surgical face lifting - facial rejuvenation
Ever considered cosmetic surgery or botox? It can be expensive, painful and time consuming. Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural or holistic method of regaining a youthful look and feel without going under the knife. As we age, skin loses its elasticity, which results from a loss of collagen. Skin condition is also determined by overall health of organs and muscles. Over the years, muscles lose tone and blood & lymph circulation to skin decreases. The result is undesirable wrinkles, creases and furrows.What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese medicine consists of non-invasive methods to treat the body and mind. Evidence suggests that the Chinese used acupuncture as a method to reduce the signs of aging. Meridian lines or energy pathways can end or begin at the face. These points can be used to manipulate the Qi or energy within the body.How does it work?
Ultra fine, sterile, disposable needles are inserted into acupuncture points on the face to improve the flow of Qi or energy and stimulate blood flow and collagen production (collagen gives skin its elasticity). The increase in circulation brings fresh blood to the face, the lymph system is encouraged to drain toxins and wastes out of the body and collagen production increases to leave facial muscles stimulated and toned. Fine lines are erased and skin is firmed. As energy movement improves, more energy and blood circulates to the face, which will nourish, hydrate and tone skin while reducing wrinkles.What are the benefits?
