How Face and Body Acupuncture Can Enhance Your Wellbeing
Are you looking for a natural way to improve the appearance of your skin and address skin disorders?
Acupuncture may be the answer you’re looking for.
Acupuncture is a safe and cost-effective cosmetic procedure with a two-thousand-year history. It is a holistic approach to skin care that addresses the root cause of skin problems, rather than just treating the symptoms. Acupuncture can be applied to both the face and body, simultaneously during a single treatment session.
In facial acupuncture, the needles are inserted into acupoints on the face to target specific areas of concern such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and acne. The needles may also be inserted around the scalp and ears, as these areas influence facial appearance and skin health.
Acupuncture for the body typically involves targeting acupoints located on the limbs, abdomen, back, and other areas corresponding to specific health concerns or conditions. Body acupuncture can address a wide range of issues including pain, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, stress, and more.
Acupuncture works by balancing the energy system of internal organs, which can have a significant impact on the appearance of the skin. It can help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production.
Acupuncture is a long-term solution for skin care, but it is not a quick fix. However, the benefits of acupuncture are well worth the wait.
The treatment involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body known as acupuncture points or acupoints. These points are located along channels or meridians through which qi (vital energy) flows according to traditional Chinese medicine theory. During the session, our skilled acupuncturist delicately places 10 to 40 tiny, virtually painless needles on your face. The number of needles varies depending on the client. These tiny punctures create what we call ‘positive microtraumas’ within your skin’s threshold. Think of it as a signal to your body to kickstart the repair process.
Unlike the more intense approach of microneedling, which involves hundreds of pricks from a rolling device, Acupuncture is milder, averaging about 50 punctures.
These precise punctures work like magic.
They awaken your lymphatic and circulatory systems, a dynamic duo that nourishes your skin cells with essential nutrients and oxygen, igniting your skin’s natural glow from within.
YES. Acupuncture stimulates blood flow to the skin, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells that promote cellular repair and regeneration. Enhanced circulation also helps remove toxins and waste products from the skin, resulting in a clearer, more radiant complexion.
Acupuncture needles inserted into specific points on the face and body can stimulate fibroblast activity, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Increased collagen production helps to firm and tone the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improve overall skin texture and elasticity.
Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural detoxification processes, including the lymphatic system and liver function. By removing toxins and impurities from the body, acupuncture can help purify the skin from the inside out resulting in a rejuvenated skin texture.
For best results, we recommend 6 sessions of Acupuncture over a period of 1-2 months.
Each treatment plan is tailor-made based on the individual needs of the patient during the consultation session.
