What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic
Acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce
the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Chinese
Medicine, which involves the insertion of very thin disposable
needles into the acupuncture points on the face & body where
needed.
This
superficial insertion will increase the local circulation to the
face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the
lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing
complexion.
Acupuncture
has been used for thousands of years to treat many conditions
and illnesses. The effectiveness of acupuncture has been related
to the manipulation of the energy points on the body to balance
and to remove blockages in the meridians (channels of blood and
energy), in order to achieve health and to prevent diseases.
Cosmetic
Acupuncture has attracted great attention in the last few years,
especially in the big cities like New York City and Los Angeles.
It used to be a treatment only for the rich and famous in
Hollywood, but now everyone wants the royal treatment.
" 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. The effects
include: The skin becomes delicate, improvement of elasticity of
facial muscles, ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation. " |
