Aesthetic Acupuncture

Because acupuncture is believed to stimulate the production of elastin and collagen fibers, improve circulation, and relax muscles, it has been used throughout Asia for centuries as a means to enhance beauty and preserve a youthful look.  For us Westerners, this has only recently become a recognized method for skin restoration and facial rejuvenation—a practice now known as cosmetic or aesthetic acupuncture.

According to the Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, the appearance of the face is a representation of the health and balance within a person’s internal organs, so as these organs are strengthened the face shows improvements accordingly.  This is why cosmetic acupuncture goes far beyond aesthetic repair.  Cosmetic acupuncture treatment uses super-fine needles to target underlying health issues that may be contributing to a deficient facial appearance. Furthermore, the needles are placed into problem areas on the face and neck, for the treatment of:

• fine lines and wrinkles
• acne scarring
• sagging facial muscles
• reduction of puffiness
• promote circulation to facial muscles
• stimulate muscle firming and toning
• encourage collagen growth, which all contribute to a more youthful and healthy-looking appearance.
