Cosmetic Acupuncture
What is cosmetic acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture is sometimes referred to as
facial rejuvenation or a non-surgical facelift.
This procedure can take up to 10 years off of your
face. It can help to eliminate fine lines and make the
deeper lines softer. It can help minimize dark circles,
puffy eyes, double chin, sagging skin, droopy eyelids
and tired eyes. After this procedure, patients usually
feel refreshed as if they have received a facial.
Other benefits include:
- Better muscle tone
- Increased circulation to oxygenate the skin
- Increased collagen production
- Tighter pores
- Brighter eyes
- Reducing acne
- Healthier appearing complexion and a natural glow
- Moister skin from the inside
- Skin appears more energized
- Reduction in age spots
Who should have this procedure done?
Anyone who wants to feel and look younger.
Cosmetic acupuncture does not have the negative
effects of plastic surgery or botox injections such as
pain, numbness and nerve damage. It is safer and
more cost effective.
What will the treatment feel like?
Acupuncture is safe and comfortable. Since each
individual is unique, experiences vary. In general, you
should be relaxed, possibly drift asleep, and feel
energy flowing to your skin. (Some patients
experience a mild tingling sensation). Many patients
report feeling energized but more relaxed after an
acupuncture session.
How long will it take me to see results?
Again, responses vary but some individuals see
and/or feel an immediate change in their skin. As with
most other intensive treatments, improvement is
increasingly obvious over time. Most people see
some results after three sessions and noticeable
changes after 10-15 sessions. How rapidly a person
improves depends on his or her age, skin condition,
and lifestyle choices. A non-smoker will see results
more quickly than a smoker. An individual who drinks
a lot of water should do better than someone who
does not.
How many treatments will I need?
Again, it is hard to give an exact answer since each
individual is unique and responds differently. In
general, a treatment is recommended once a week in
a series to start and then a maintenance program can
vary with treatments every three weeks to a month.
Can I get a chiropractic treatment with my
cosmetic acupuncture?
Yes, combining treatments will help to increase your
overall health and well-being. Improved health will be
reflected in your appearance.
