Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, and involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles into acupuncture points on the face and body where needed. It works by stimulating skin muscles and lymph which have been inactive.The results can make your usual skincare treatment even more effective.

A good physical condition is essential for the condition of good skin.
Cosmetic Acupuncture uses acupuncture points on the body and local points on the face to treat underlying problems that may affect the condition of the skin.

How does it work ?

The stimulation of acupuncture points can help

1. facial revitalization by stimulating circulation of lymph and facial muscles
2. reduce lines and pores by stimulating collagen production, filling out lines and firming the skin
3. generate a glowing complexion by increasing local circulation to the face and oxygenating the skin

Course of treatment

Each individual will respond differently to treatment depending on their age and lifestyle and visible results are usually noticeable after five or six sessions. This will be done once or twice a week for best results. Maintenance may be needed once every month or so.

Does it really make a difference ?

Cosmetic Acupuncture has been performed for thousands of years in China.

A study in 1996 in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with just one course of treatment. The effects included: the skin becoming delicate and fair, improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles and leveling of wrinkles, a radiant complexion, and overall rejuvenation.
