Cosmetic Acupuncture and Facial Acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture and facial acupuncture is a new introduction in the West, and offers a natural alternative to cosmetic surgery, Chinese doctors have been using points on the face for thousands of years to help combat signs of ageing and to help skin conditions.

The course of the facial acupuncture and cosmetic acupuncture treatment is between 6-15 consecutive weekly sessions. Each individual will respond differently to the treatment depending on their age and lifestyle.

Key Principles of Cosmetic Acupuncture and Facial Acupuncture

Facial acupuncture points are stimulated using the finest, sterilised, disposable needles and supported with acupressure (gentle massage). Supportive needles may also be used elsewhere on the body to balance your constitution.

What Can Cosmetic Acupuncture and Facial Acupuncture Do?

Cosmetic acupuncture, otherwise known as 'facial rejuvenation acupuncture' increases collagen production, and blood and lymph circulation to the face and scalp. Research has shown that acupuncture stimulates the flow of blood and energy through the skin in the face, thereby hydrating, boosting the skin's supply of nutrients and oxygen, and thus reducing the signs of ageing.

A 1996 report published in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with facial acupuncture and cosmetic acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects include:

• The skin becomes delicate
• Improvement of elasticity of facial muscles
• Ruddier complexion
• Overall rejuvenation and freshness
