This cosmetic treatment works on a number of levels:

 

The Chinese believe that beauty as well as health comes from within and that our face and skin are a reflection of our inner spirit, and physical health. It has been used in China for thousands of years to prevent the onset of wrinkles and facial lines.

 

The rejuvenation aspect of the treatment uses incredibly fine needles which are inserted into specific points on the face and scalp, to promote the relaxation of muscles and stimulate muscle tone.

 

As we age, the quantity of blood in the skin and underlying facial muscles gradually diminishes causing a loss of nourishment to the skin, meaning a lack of tone, dullness and wrinkles. The face has numerous acupuncture points and targeting these increases the flow of blood and energy to the skin in that area, hydrating and increasing the skin’s supply of nutrients and oxygen, and decreasing the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes. Acupuncture helps stimulate the production ofcollagen which is important to skin health. The overall effect tightens the underlying facial muscles tone and the face lifts itself! Further benefits include:

This protocol works to relax the person fully, whilst addressing specific facial concerns directly and correcting underlying health needs.

 

Each session lasts about 2 hours. For the best results, a series of 10-12 sessions is recommended, once or twice a week, over a period of 3 months to allow for lasting results. During this time, our acupuncturist will also address your health needs that will contribute to beautiful skin. However, a short term quick fix can be achieved in one or two treatments.
