What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture or acupuncture facelift, is a non-invasive procedure that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the face and body. This ancient Chinese therapy promotes circulation, stimulates collagen production, and restores balance to enhance overall skin health and appearance.
Your skin is your largest organ. It’s also a vital part of your immune system. So not only are you improving the way you look when you have cosmetic acupuncture, but you are also improving the way your body functions.
Benefits and Results
Enhanced Skin Radiance: Cosmetic acupuncture aims to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging by boosting collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Improved Complexion: The treatment promotes better blood flow, leading to improved skin tone, reduced redness, and a more even complexion.
Natural Rejuvenation: Unlike chemical injections, cosmetic acupuncture harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities, offering a subtle yet noticeable transformation over time.
Evidence and Distinctions from Botox
Scientific Validation: While research on cosmetic acupuncture is ongoing, studies indicate its effectiveness in improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and revitalizing skin health.
Holistic Approach: Cosmetic acupuncture doesn’t just target wrinkles—it focuses on holistic wellness, considering the underlying factors affecting skin health, such as stress, digestion, adrenal exhaustion and overall vitality.
No Toxins, No Side Effects: Unlike Botox, which uses neurotoxins to temporarily paralyze muscles, cosmetic acupuncture has no adverse effects or risks associated with toxins.
Precautions
Individual Response: Results vary, and multiple sessions are needed to see significant improvements.
Contraindications: People with certain medical conditions or pregnant women should consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing cosmetic acupuncture.
How many cosmetic acupuncture sessions do I need?
It depends how old you are and what your situation is. This will be discussed at your first appointment. As a rough guide, We recommend a course of 8 to 12 treatments initially, 1-2 times weekly, with a follow up maintenance treatment every 1-3 months. You’ll also be given suggestions on how to improve your skin from the inside out based on Chinese medicine principals.
How long are cosmetic acupuncture treatments?
Our cosmetic acupuncture treatments always include a full body treatment, so we can be assured you are being balanced from the inside out. You’ll need a 1.5 hour consult for an initial procedure and follow ups are mostly one hour, however some people may need a longer consult.
