Is Facial cosmetic acupuncture a safer alternative to surgery or Botox?

Facial (cosmetic) acupuncture is purported to improve skin. It acts as an anti-aging treatment in part by stimulating collagen production (a protein that acts as a significant component of your skin).

According to traditional Chinese medicine, health problems occur due to blockages in the flow of vital energy. By inserting needles into specified points along meridian lines, acupuncturists aim to restore the flow of necessary power and, in turn, improve health.

Facial (cosmetic) acupuncture is a way for people to achieve healthy skin without chemical peels or painful injections. Acupuncture can eliminate puffiness beneath the eyes, improve skin color and complexion, and reduce wrinkles and fine lines. It is also effective for tightening the skin around the neck and treating acne and rosacea conditions.

Is facial acupuncture the same as a facelift?

Cosmetic acupuncture is sometimes referred to as an acupuncture facelift, but the two procedures are very different. A facelift is a surgical procedure that removes or reshapes the skin on your face. Facial (cosmetic) acupuncture works by increasing blood flow and stimulating the muscles beneath your face to improve their tone and conditioning. Acupuncture improves your skin’s elasticity, which helps smooth out wrinkles and lines. Cosmetic acupuncture takes the individual’s constitution, lifestyle, nutrition, and current health, including emotional state, into consideration to bring about a more youthful appearance. It is optimal to treat the skin as part of the whole.

How long can I see the Results?

The results are cumulative—how long it lasts depends on your status. A typical treatment involves ten sessions over 30 days and then follow-up visits once a month for maintenance. Still, you can go further and further between appointments if you are maintaining your health and skin according to recommendations. Some people visit once a week, some once a month—you don’t want to go back to square one. We need to build on your results.
Besides facial acupuncture treatment, combined with a proper lifestyle provides the body with nourishing whole foods and superfoods every day, avoiding sugar, alcohol, and refined foods. And give the skin a high dose of nutrients and hydration to keep it healthy and functioning at its optimal level.

Is it just a facial treatment?

Facial cosmetic acupuncture aims to tone the skin on your face and neck to give you a more youthful appearance. But we won’t just focus on your face. There are several points across the body associated with skin health, including the elbow’s crook and the back of the knee. Other areas we will pick for your condition to improve blood flow can also help your complexion.
