What is Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation?
Cosmetic acupuncture – also known as acupuncture facial rejuvenation or acupuncture facelift. This new modality can enhance not only your physical appearance but also your overall health, giving you a glow that radiates from deep within. While cosmetic acupuncture is a somewhat new to the US, there are nevertheless centuries-old records of it being used in the service of beauty. What’s more, acupuncture’s ability to improve a variety of skin conditions has now been documented in legitimate clinical studies.
What you need to know
Is it really a facelift? The answer is no. Nor is it intended to replace a facelift. Cosmetic acupuncture entails no incisions, sutures or acid peels and it will not produce sudden, drastic changes. Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenations subtle and works on underlying health of connective tissue and collagen. Remember, it took decades of stress, sun damage and exposure to environmental toxins for your skin to age, and the damage will not be instantly undone. The remedy cosmetic acupuncture may offer is the reduction or erasure of fine lines and the softening of deeper lines. Patients may experience the firming of jowls and a reduction in the size of under-eye bags. It is not unusual for clients to report enhanced skin tone, increased energy and a sparkle in the eyes.
But it doesn’t stop there. Since facial acupuncture is based on time-tested principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person’s overall health may also benefit. For example:
Insomnia may be corrected
Weight gain may be controlled
Intestinal Disorders may recede
Cosmetic acupuncture is, after all, a whole-body treatment. In the Traditional Chinese Medicine view, a person’s face is a direct picture of the health of the internal organs. The acupuncturist will probably work locally, inserting painless, ultra-fine needles into and around specific wrinkles, acu-points or muscle points and it will often incorporate herbal poultices, herbs, pulsed light or an imperceptible electrical current may also be passed among the needles.
Because of the subtle method of acupuncture, facial rejuvenation treatments need to be done in courses of several treatments to see real results. Many clients see results in as little as 4, most see the results they desired in 12 sessions. Again, Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation does not replace full face lifts but can often take years away without painful surgery.
If your features are tired, your eyes are baggy and your skin is without luster, yet you do not feel the need for cosmetic surgery, then facial acupuncture may be for you. The freedom from post-treatment downtime and the experience of enhanced vitality contribute to the ever-increasing popularity of this Asian art. If you are willing to try something different and new, you may find that facial acupuncture is the perfect partner in your quest for rejuvenation and renewal. |
