The “acupuncture face-lift” is a safe and effective procedure for reducing the signs of aging. This anti-aging procedure has been used for over 2000 years in China, and is a great alternative to more invasive and expensive cosmetic procedures. The treatments are virtually painless, and address the unique ways in which your skin has been affected by the aging process. A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with cosmetic acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment.
- minimization or elimination of fine lines
- improvement in the appearance of deeper wrinkles
- increased collagen production
- improved muscle tone and dermal contraction to help lift sagging skin
- reduced inflammation
- diminished sun spots and scars
- increased blood and lymphatic circulation
During an acupuncture session, sterile, hair-thin needles are inserted into various points on the face and body, addressing the underlying causes of skin aging and promoting tissue rejuvenation. Twelve treatments are usually recommended, and lasting effects are normally seen around the seventh session. Periodic maintenance sessions can help to prolong the results for up to 10 years.
