Cosmetic Acupuncture

A Non- Surgical Facelift

The collagen and elastin stimulating function of Cosmetic Acupuncture is achieved by inserting tiny and very thin acupuncture needles below the skin – under the wrinkles themselves. This superficial insertion will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion. In this way major wrinkle lines can be greatly diminished without costly injections.

Some other benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture
Along with helping to eliminate fine lines and making deeper lines look softer, Cosmetic Acupuncture can also help to:

• Minimize dark circles
• Reduce eye puffiness
• Minimizes double chin, sagging skin and drooping eyelids
• Relaxes muscle tone
• Increases circulation, therefore oxygenates the skin
• Increases collagen production
• Tightens the pores, and brightens the eyes
• Keeps acne skin under control
• Nourishes the skin, giving you a healthy complexion with a natural glow
• Moisturizes the skin from inside, and gives rosy cheeks to people with dull, tired looking skin

What is the course of treatment?
The course of the treatment is between 10-12 sessions. This will be done 1-3 times a week for best results. Each individual will respond different to the treatment depending on their age and lifestyle. Visible results may be noticeable after 6 -7 sessions or less. Maintenance of treatment is recommended once every month or so after the initial course of treatment.
A 1996 report in the international journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of 12 treatments.
