Acupuncture
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body’s internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy through the meridians.
Needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial rejuvenation acupuncture, has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years. Cosmetic acupuncture is a skin care treatment that rejuvenates the appearance of your skin to help reduce and prevent the common signs of aging.
During treatment, several very small thin needles are placed in specific locations across the face. These needles act as triggers causing your body to increase blood flow and stimulate your skin to produce an increase in collagen and elastin. This leads to a more healthy skin appearance.
When people think about cosmetic procedures, fillers or Botox usually come to mind first. You may be concerned about the unwanted side effects that come with Botox injections. Cosmetic acupuncture is an excellent alternative treatment to Botox and has few side effects aside from occasional bruising.
During your acupuncture treatment, your acupuncturist will assess your overall health and discuss your main concerns before proceeding.
