Why You Need to Try Cosmetic Acupuncture

As awareness of alternative medicine grows, so too does the variety of health issues that acupuncture can help treat. Acupuncture developed out of Traditional Chinese Medicine over a thousand years ago to help remove blockages in the flow of qi (or chi) - an imbalance in meridians that can cause all kinds of problems related to our circulation, lymphatic system, and nervous system. By placing fine needles through energetic pathways, or acupoints, the body’s natural healing response is stimulated encouraging the delivery of nutrients to specific points in the body. Hence, it can be used to combat signs of ageing and improve overall skin health.

Cosmetic acupuncture, among all other facial therapies, is a functional and holistic approach to health and beauty. The micro trauma induced in your facial cells enhances collagen and elastin production, therefore strengthening the skin. In other words, it can improve age-related loss of skin texture and elasticity. Other benefits include:

• Reduced Acne

• Decreased inflammation

• Reduced puffiness and swelling

• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

• Reduced jaw tension/pain

Cosmetic acupuncture can have visible results in a single session but since the effects are cumulative, follow-up appointments are suggested for sustainable results. Our acupuncturists, Henry and Seraphine, have extensive experience in cosmetic acupuncture and can cater treatment to your needs.
