Facial acupuncture

Our healing techniques may include Cupping, Moxibustion, Tuina massage, Gua Sha, and Herbal Prescription; also the use of non-invasive tools like energy amplifiers, magnets, and colored-light.

Beauty treatments commonly involve needling the face, sometimes other points along the body. We have 12 primary energy meridians connected with the main organs; the stimulation of acupoints redirect the energy flow to the intended area.

Stimulation of acupoints triggers a response from various systems in the body allowing different beneficial effects to occur:

• Increased blood flow. Increased blood flow helps the cardiovascular system work better, promoting natural detoxification, bringing oxygen to skin cells.
• It improves the immune system. Inserting needles creates minimal painless wounds called micro-traumas that drive your body to go into repair mode. While activating the body’s healing mechanisms, needling encourages the skin to make more collagen and new tissue.
• It stimulates collagen production. Since this ability slows down over time, a boost in collagen production can restore the skin elasticity. It also aids reduce wrinkles and lessens fine lines, providing a facial rejuvenation look-alike effect.
• Improvement of all body systems. Acupoints stimulation moves blood, helping regulate the function of nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, and immune systems.
• Additional benefits. The mind-body approach and benefits of Oriental medicine go further. Even if the healing process starts and comes from inside the body, it can utterly improve the physical appearance of your skin. Overall wellness reflects in your face, and that’s how this beauty treatment works to help reverse signs of aging naturally.

Conventional beauty treatments are invasive medical procedures that perform dramatic changes to reshape some structures of the body:

• Cosmetic and plastic surgeons focus on correcting and rebuilding through surgical techniques; Botox blocks nerve signals and freeze muscles, while dermal fillers intend to fill in selected face areas. Although they look for enhancing a person’s appearance these practices entail severe risks to health.
• When involving surgery, side effects might include inflammation, post-operative pain, complications from anesthesia, or facial implants; since pain management often includes analgesics and painkillers, you’ll even be dealing with the side effects of medications.
• Botox and most dermal fillers are potent neurotoxins even deadly, though purified to use safely; they both work by the injection of chemical products that “refill” and add volume to correct lines in the face or neck.
• Most side effects can include weakness, paralysis, and muscle drooping; also swallowing, speaking, and breathing problems. Since they use substances external to the body, toxins can cause severe adverse reactions affecting your daily activities and health.

On the other hand, facial acupuncture provides non-invasive treatments and non-surgical tools. It’s a comprehensive method to naturally reduce external and internal signs of aging since beauty treatments are mainly related to overall health:

• TCM therapies are designed to work according to nature by activating your immune system response. This is a critical issue. The body’s ability to cure itself decreases while aging, which is the same as collagen production and cell regeneration.
• Acupuncturists needle the skin’s surface to “wake up” your natural healing mechanisms; this procedure can target specific areas in the body in need of healing or regeneration.
• Needling and various holistic therapies work as preventive methods rather than corrective ones. They seek to repair harm deeply from the inside of the body, bringing changes to superficial levels of your skin. This way, they can provide skin rejuvenation and anti-aging effects.
• TCM procedures exceed cosmetic uses by reducing stress and releasing hormones like serotonin and endorphin. These natural neurochemicals promote feelings of happiness and relaxation, both impact factors to help beauty treatments work.
• As it seeks a natural and less invasive approach, cosmetic acupuncture has proven safe, soothing beauty treatment with no harmful side-effects. 

• It can treat skin concerns locally. Different techniques allow acupuncturists to address fill-up and lessening of wrinkles and fine lines, like frown lips, and smile lines. By sending collagen into specific areas to heal, they can also help with skin sagging; this procedure acts as a natural Botox and provides similar effects to a facelift.
• It helps heal acne scars and remove age spots. The detoxification process improves the immune system’s ability to fight bacteria and other harmful elements to the skin. That helps to treat acne causes, allergies, skin conditions, and other aging factors to provide a healthier, flawless complexion.
• It helps reduce muscular tension. Stimulation of acupoints relieves anxiety; it also induces to reduce inflammation, and pressure moves like furrow the brow or clenches the jaw, which remarkably helps add a softer complexion.
• It provides long-term results. Beauty treatments offer a natural, less invasive way and long-term solution to help treat the signs of aging; although it may take a while to achieve results, changes will gradually come.
• Facial acupuncture, along with other techniques can help you avoid costly cosmetic surgical procedures and their harmful side effects. Besides, it’ll improve your beauty while enhancing your overall health and quality of life.
