COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Cosmetic acupuncture is a technique that has been used successfully by emperors and other wealthy elite in China for centuries. It is a safe and healthy approach to reversing or slowing the effects of aging so you can look and feel your very best.
As we get older, less blood flows to the dermal layer of the skin, resulting in decreased collagen (the substance that causes skin firmness) and elastin (which provides skin elasticity and rebound). Superficial needling increases blood flow to the skin and nourishes the cells to naturally promote the production of collagen and elastic. Direct needling into wrinkles and blemishes causes renewal of the skin cells, producing fresh, unwrinkled and unblemished skin tissue. Slightly deeper needling encourages facial muscle firmness to lift the skin and reduce sagging.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a holistic treatment that is always preceded by a regular acupuncture session (consisting of a regular intake and body acupuncture points). The theory is that your skin will reflect the health of your body as a whole from within. An unbalanced body will reveal less healthy skin, therefore the body is treated and balanced first before directly treating the skin locally. Because we treat the body and the skin, not only will you look better, but you will feel physically and emotionally better, as well.
Cosmetic acupuncture is extremely safe and effective, with minimal to no side effects. At most, only slight bruising may occur. Therefore, it is a great alternative to the more risky cosmetic procedures such as Botox and plastic surgery. Although the effects are less immediate and drastic as these invasive procedures, cosmetic acupuncture is much more affordable, requires no downtime, and produces more natural-looking results. However, you do not have to choose one or the other. That is, if you have had plastic surgery or Botox, cosmetic acupuncture can expedite the healing process while nourishing and rejuvenating the skin, and keeping the health of the skin intact.
Sonora Park, our licensed acupuncturist, practices the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System and has studied under its creator, Dr. Martha Lucas. The recommended course of treatment is between 10 to 16 sessions, depending on the patient’s current skin condition, age, overall health, and lifestyle. Ideally, the treatments are given twice a week for 5 to 8 weeks. However, if twice a week is impossible, then once a week is acceptable. After that, the patient can return as frequently or infrequently as desired for maintenance. The entire course of treatment can be repeated as desired or needed.
The following are visible results to expect from cosmetic acupuncture:
