Facial Acupuncture
What is Facial Acupuncture?
Facial acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture, is a traditional Chinese medicine anti-aging treatment aimed at improving skin appearance and overall skin health. This practice involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific facial points.
The treatment stimulates the skin and underlying muscles, promoting collagen production, improving blood circulation, and encouraging lymphatic drainage. These effects reduce wrinkles, enhance skin tone, and contribute to a more youthful appearance.
Who Can it Help?
The ideal candidate for facial acupuncture is someone seeking a natural and holistic approach to enhance their skin’s appearance and overall health. This treatment can benefit individuals looking to reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, as well as those desiring improved skin tone, texture, and radiance. It can also help people suffering from skin conditions like acne or rosacea by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation. Facial acupuncture is suitable for those who prefer non-invasive treatments over surgical procedures or chemical interventions for facial rejuvenation. Additionally, individuals experiencing facial tension or stress-related skin issues, such as frown lines or crow’s feet, may find relief through this method.
LED Light Therapy & Sculpting Massage
LED Light Therapy: In addition to using acupuncture points tailored to your specific skin concerns, which boost overall circulation and skin health for a refreshed glow, an LED light is incorporated to enhance the treatment. LED light therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light to treat skin issues. Red light is commonly used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production, while blue light targets acne by killing bacteria.
Sculpting Massage: To enhance this treatment even further add a sculpting massage that begins with facial cleansing and utilizes gua sha and facial cupping techniques. Gua sha uses a smooth-edged stone to gently scrape the skin, promoting circulation, reducing puffiness, and stimulating lymphatic drainage. Facial cupping involves small suction cups applied to the face to lift and massage the skin, which increases blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
