Cosmetic acupuncture is an aesthetic treatment built around fine Chinese needles that markedly improve blood flow, release blockages and inflammation, firm the skin, and help with skin conditions such as seborrhoea and psoriasis.
There is no need to go under the surgeon's knife or turn to Botox to fight wrinkles - cosmetic acupuncture is designed to firm and smooth the skin.
What Does Cosmetic Acupuncture Address?
In aesthetics, acupuncture is used today for acne in young women, scarring, dark circles under the eyes, discolouration, fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, drooping eyelids, dull complexion, and more. It is also recommended for overall skin firming.
Behind aesthetic acupuncture lies a holistic understanding of the body. In Chinese medicine, for example, dark circles are linked to kidney function - when acupuncture improves it, the circles fade. Beyond its benefits for the face, cosmetic acupuncture is also considered to support memory, concentration, hearing, and analytical clarity, encouraging healthy circulation and releasing blockages.
How Does the Treatment Work?
We use a Chinese technique that works on body points supporting blood flow, combined with massage and touch techniques, silicone cupping, and warmed botanical extracts applied to the face.
That is the essence of the treatment: the raw material is within you, not an external substance. Our blood is rich in oxygen, and directing it to the face stimulates enhanced collagen and elastin production. Acupuncture supports the organs responsible for skin quality and for clearing toxins from the skin, and visibly improves pigmentation.
How Many Sessions Until Results Show?
A series of ten treatments brings a noticeable improvement - skin that looks five to ten years younger. After six months, a monthly session is recommended to maintain the results.
And If the Skin Has Already Lost Significant Firmness?
I can improve the condition, but I won't return the skin to age 20. You will see a meaningful improvement in the skin's appearance, its firmness, and how it feels overall.
The treatment is also of great help in cases of skin conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhoea.
