Cosmetic Acupuncture

What can cosmetic acupuncture treat?

In the West, we commonly think of acupuncture as a modality to treat pain.  However, there is a growing awareness that acupuncture can treat a number of concerns. This may seem strange to us, but Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, is designed as a full medical system to balance the entire body so it can heal itself. 

Cosmetic acupuncture is capable of effectively treating a wide range of problems. Cosmetic acupuncture can:

Tone facial muscles & create a lifting effect

Reduce fine lines & wrinkles

Shrink pores

Decrease acne

Decrease inflammation & redness

Improve skin texture & complexion

How does cosmetic acupuncture work?

Cosmetic acupuncture works by stimulating your body’s natural healing response. Sagging skin can be counteracted by stimulating and strengthening the muscles of the face. A wrinkle in the skin is formed by the furrowing of collagen. Very thin, sterile needles are inserted at the site of the furrow to lift and fill in the area to encourage the body to produce natural collagen thus smoothing the area. 

We also incorporate low-level-light therapy using the Celluma PRO. Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen — the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. The treatment is for all skin types, and is non-ablative, non-invasive, painless, and requires absolutely no downtime. Patients or clients can return to their normal activity immediately after the treatment.

How many treatments?

A typical facial rejuvenation course of treatment generally consists of 10 – 12 treatments.

The effects become most noticeable and lasting on or about the sixth session.

Each person responds differently, depending on his or her condition and lifestyle prior to treatment.

Following the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the results for five to ten years.
