Cosmetic Acupuncture and Chinese Cosmetology
Acupuncture Face-Lift - Beauty, Radiance & Vitality for the Face
If you’d like to prevent premature ageing or take 5, 7 maybe 10 years off your looks, without the expense of Botox and more invasive treatments, then Cosmetic Acupuncture is for you. Developed over 800 years ago it’s a technique once reserved for the Chinese royalty and elite. Cosmetic Acupuncture may well give you a reduction, quite often erasure of fine lines and the softening of deeper ones. On top of this you’re most likely to see a firming of jowls, a reduction in under-eye bags size, enjoy eyes that sparkle and enhanced skin tone. You won’t just look fabulous – you’ll feel great, with facial acupuncture being based on time-tested principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health may also benefit. Insomnia may be corrected and weight gain may be controlled. Cosmetic acupuncture is, after all, a whole-body treatment, which is important for optional collagen synthesis. Cosmetic Acupuncture may offer the reduction or erasure of fine lines and the softening of deeper ones. Additionally, patients may experience the firming of jowls and a reduction in the size of under-eye bags. It is not unusual for clients to report enhanced skin tone, increased energy and eyes that sparkle.
But it doesn’t stop there! Since facial acupuncture is based on time-tested principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person’s overall health may also benefit. Insomnia may be corrected and weight gain may be controlled. Cosmetic acupuncture is, after all, a whole-body treatment. In the Traditional Chinese Medicine view, a person’s face is affected selectively by his or her internal organs. Facial features reflect organic strengths, and as internal organs are fortified, one’s face reflects the improvement. Besides addressing a patient’s condition holistically, the practitioner will probably work locally, inserting painless, ultra-fine needles into, and around, specific wrinkles, acu-points or muscle points, depending on the technique employed. Techniques can be Spartan or luxuriant, and practitioners will often incorporate herbal poultices, moisturisers, pulsed light or essential oils into a treatment. An imperceptible electrical current may also be passed among the needles.
Acupuncture Face lifts utilize the dynamic principals of energy that Acupuncture is based on. Since ageing causes structures to droop and descend, Acupuncture Face-Lifts can pull energy upward, causing a tightening and tautness of the skin. Prominent features such as high cheek bones, chiselled jaw lines, and other strong features become accentuated. The eyes widen and brighten with vitality and life-force, and an overall rejuvenating effect is experienced. This is achieved with a combination of Acupuncture and 'Lifestyle' changes including special supplements, together with our range of our wide range of pure collagen products. This intention is the same intention that a traditional surgical face-lift utilises. However, there is no cutting, or surgical invasion into the human body. There is no down time. There is usually no bruising, and no inflammation and recuperation time, as there is with plastic surgery. The effect is immediate and instantaneous. Usually the transformation takes place within minutes after the Acupuncture Needles are inserted. There is virtually no pain or discomfort during the session. With consistent treatments (1-2 per week), guidance on an holistic lifestyle and remineralisation, a cumulative rejuvenating effect is achieved. The treatments can take place in the comfort of your own home or work place over the course of 3 months, of which thereafter, the results remain. Intermittent treatments once every month are recommended for ideal results. Benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture and Chinese Cosmetology include: - improves muscle tone and tightens skin - increases collagen production - eliminates or reduces bags under the eyes - eliminates or reduces puffiness - eliminates fine lines of the face and reduces larger wrinkles - improves acne - reduces and smoothes acne scars - moisturizes the skin by the increasing circulation of blood and lymph to the face - improves facial colour by increasing peripheral circulation - reduces or eliminates double chins and jowls - helps to lift drooping eyelids - relaxes the entire face, body and mind - promotes overall health and well being - slows the ageing process from within - benefits the eyes, ears, sinuses, hormones, brain and other body systems - improves self esteem The Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that 90% of clients have marked improvement in their faces and experience an overall rejuvenation that is not confined to the face. Cosmetic Acupuncture is a series of treatments that can dramatically improve your appearance and also, your overall health at the same time. One reason this method is so effective is because it not only treats the face but also the patient’s underlying health issues and imbalances.
This treatment is a holistic alternative to plastic surgery, Botox injections, collagen injections, and laser/chemical peels. Your face will retain its character and it will never look frozen, stretched or swollen. The results are natural looking because they are natural. A surgical face lift only tightens the skin. The acupuncture face lift increases blood circulation to the face, promotes collagen production, and increases muscle tone and elasticity. Enjoy the rejuvenating effect of facial acupuncture, using small very fine needles or opt for electro acupuncture and soft laser.
