Cosmetic acupuncture is a non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Oriental medicine, which involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles designed to be used only for the face, into the groups of designated acupuncture points on the face where needed.

This superficial insertion on the face will increase the local circulation of both blood and energy (called Qi - pronounced CHEE) to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will help fill in facial lines and tighten the skin. It also can help tone the targeted facial muscles, which gives firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.

How Does It Work?

Acupuncture is used on the face to stimulate and balance the energy and at the same time, treat the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process. This involves the insertion of hair-thin disposable needles into specific areas on the face, ears, and hands.

The needles are inserted into the energy pathways or meridians to improve the flow of Qi. As the movement of energy improves, a greater amount of energy and blood is circulated to the face, nourishing, hydrating, toning and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.
