Cosmetic Acupuncture

The acupuncture facelift is a holistic alternative to cosmetic surgery, injections and laser-chemical peels. Cosmetic acupuncture effectively rejuvenates the face, firms the skin, increases blood flow to local tissues and muscles which help lift and tighten the neck, face and eyebrows. The process also increases cellular functions and collagen production, which causes lines and wrinkles to fade and makes the face appear healthy and lustrous.


The advantage of cosmetic acupuncture is that it is non-surgical, cost effective and safe. The treatments reduce the signs of aging by promoting youthful physiological functions that decrease with age. Your skin and muscles become more oxygenated, toxins and cellular byproducts are removed, and the skin responds more favourably to environmental and chemical stress.


The procedure involves the insertion of very fine hair like needles designed specifically for this purpose. There is hardly any sensation at all when the needles are inserted. Many find the treatment very comfortable and relaxing.


To achieve the necessary results depending on the age and lifestyle of the individual approximately 12 treatments are required. It is preferable to have more than one treatment a week, especially at the start. Each treatment lasts approximately 1-1.5 hours, depending on each individual. The treatments are also combined with a total body assessment and treatment according to traditional Chinese theory. As required, herbal formulas for ingestion and facial masks may be applied.

 

Many individuals who come to us for treatment find that other conditions they suffered from prior to our treatments such as headaches, PMS, hot flashes, digestive and sinus problems become significantly diminished.
