Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial rejuvenation acupuncture, is a non-surgical, natural treatment that involves inserting tiny needles into the face and body to improve skin health:
- Benefits: Cosmetic acupuncture can help with:
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Plumping and tightening skin
- Improving skin texture and tone
- Reducing inflammation
- Improving lymphatic drainage
- Reducing acne
- How it works: The needles stimulate the body’s natural healing response, which increases blood flow and collagen production.
- Treatment: A typical treatment involves placing needles in areas like the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. The treatment is relaxing and can take 20ā30 minutes.
- Series: Most practitioners recommend a series of 10ā12 sessions over several weeks.
- Side effects: Cosmetic acupuncture has few side effects, aside from occasional bruising.
- Alternatives: Some say cosmetic acupuncture is a less invasive alternative to Botox.
Cosmetic acupuncture has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years.
