What is acupuncture for facial rejuvenation?

 

Facial acupuncture is a non-invasive treatment that involves using acupuncture to improve skin and fight the ageing process. Sometimes referred to as an acupuncture face-lift, facial rejuvenation, or cosmetic acupuncture, it often is used as an alternative to surgical face-lifts and other conventional procedures said to reverse signs of ageing in the skin.

​

Facial acupuncture can help reduce wrinkles, diminish fine lines, remove age spots, and lift droopy eyelids. Most courses of cosmetic acupuncture treatment involve 10 or more sessions, as well as additional sessions for maintenance of results.

 

How does facial acupuncture work?

 

Facial acupuncture improves skin and acts as an anti-aging treatment in part by stimulating the production of collagen (a protein that acts as a major component of your skin). As you age, your skin's inner layer loses collagen and, as a result, becomes less supple and firm. The acupuncture needles are inserted into specific areas on the face and neck which stimulate your lymphatic and circulatory system, which work together to deliver nutrients and oxygen to your skin cells, nourishing the skin from the inside out. This helps even out your complexion and promotes your skin’s glow. The positive micro-traumas also stimulate the production of collagen. This helps improve elasticity, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.

​

Facial acupuncture can help rejuvenate your skin by improving your overall energy. Every facial treatment is part of a holistic approach to healing. Not only will treatment focus on your skin’s health but will work on other body systems related to the health of your skin.
