Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. As a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's used to treat a myriad of conditions, including body pains, headaches, and even insomnia. Only in recent years has Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, or "Cosmetic Acupuncture" as it is sometimes known as, been in the spotlight.
What is it?
Facial acupuncture is a part of traditional acupuncture- it not only addresses any signs of aging, but also aims to improve your skin's overall health. Here at Healing Points Acupuncture, we will put needles into specific points on the face that help stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality and brightness while also using body points to improve immunity and the balance and flow of qi.
Essentially, it's a natural and safe alternative to facial fillers and Botox treatments!
How does it work?
Basically, the needles' physical act of puncturing the skin causes positive micro-traumas, which in turn, sends signals to the body to produce more collagen to help heal that area. The micro-traumas help to improve blood circulation and increase healing speed, which gives a glow to the skin after the treatment, and is also what we have to thank for stimulating collagen production, which helps to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
What should I expect?
The main result of a patient's experience is a much brighter complexion, while some have even noticed a slight face lift. While nothing is permanent, with an average of 6 treatments once a week, you will begin to notice a change that could last up to half a year. Afterwards, we encourage monthly routine maintenance to keep your skin bright and lifted. Obviously, the more treatments you have the better your results!
Facial acupuncture can be an excellent option if you're looking for a natural, holistic way to reduce those fine lines and wrinkles, brighten your complexion, reduce redness and acne, and especially improve your overall health!
