THE SAFEST COSMETIC PROCEDURE...

The popularity of cosmetic acupuncture is growing due to the advantages it has over traditional plastic surgery. It is less expensive, less invasive and there is no down-time required to heal. Above all, many other health concerns are addressed during the cosmetic acupuncture sessions.


WHY SEEK OUT COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE?

Similar to traditional acupuncture, Cosmetic Acupuncture treats the whole person, with a special emphasis on dermatalogical and/or aging concerns.

 

Results reported are: reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, decreased eye puffiness, minimized acne scarring, more even skin tone, fewer and less severe acneic breakouts, and a "tightening" sensation.


HOW DOES COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE WORK?

Promotes blood and lymph circulation: increased circulation dilates peripheral blood vessels for better distribution of oxygen and nutrients as well as cellular regeneration.

 

Rehydrates the skin’s external layers through stimulation of the secretion of the sweat and sebacious glands which encourages the regeneration of healthy skin cells.

 

Helps exfolliation, aids the proliferation of new skin cells, increases nutrition to the skin’s surface, improves the quality of the skin and promotes a healthy glow.

 

Increases oxygen consumption of the skin’s external layer speeding up the release of carbon dioxide and nitrogen at the cellular level, helping to keep skin deeply clean; contributes to reducing the accumulation of excess grease on the skin’s surface.

 

Stimulates the production of elastin and 4 collagen proteins in the skin due to increased fibroblasts to reduce and soften wrinkles.

 

Reduces and relaxes the tension in the nerves and muscles improving the integrity of the skin resulting in improved overall facial appearance.
