What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a non-invasive skin and body rejuvenation treatment. It is the leader in anti-aging medicine because it not only improves the look and function of the skin but it works internally to improve one’s overall health. Aging is not happening externally it is happening internally and manifesting on the skin so for a treatment to truly be classified as anti-aging it must work on both the internal and external body. It works by improving the flow of blood and oxygen to the skin and throughout the body. It nourishes your skin and increases the production of collagen to plump up deeper lines and eliminate fine lines. Your skin will be brighter, tighter and healthier.
Cosmetic Acupuncture is based on the principals of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chinese Medical practitioners have a clear understanding of the meridian system or energy pathways of the body. Through the use of fine disposable acupuncture needles an acupuncturist can help balance the energy within these pathways to restore and maintain health.
A practitioner specializing in Cosmetic Acupuncture is able to utilize the meridians that either end or begin at the face to stimulate and balance the energy and at the same time, treat the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process. This involves the insertion of hair-thin disposable needles into specific areas on the face, ears, hands, legs and torso. The needles are inserted into the energy pathways or meridians to improve the flow of Qi (energy). As the movement of energy improves, a greater amount of energy and blood are circulated to the face, nourishing, hydrating, toning and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.
