Who can get Cosmetic Acupuncture done?Cosmetic acupuncture is for anyone – men and women – who are looking to feel (and look) better. This can be a compliment to other cosmetic procedures, but also a natural alternative to many cosmetic procedures.
-
Where does cosmetic acupuncture come from?Facial/Cosmetic Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It was originally used to treat people with Bell's Palsy, stroke, or internal imbalances that showed up on the skin. The face's weak or drooping muscles were successfully treated by acupuncturists, resulting in skin that was more symmetrical and firmer. Acupuncturists began offering facial acupuncture as a cosmetic treatment over time,stimulating the acupoints and knowing that balancing internal systems would enhance the skin's radiance and target skin conditions.
-
Does Cosmetic Acupuncture hurt?Facial Acupuncture needles are even thiner than regular acupuncture needles, so you wont feel it. At times patients may experience a sensation or tingling feeling right at the point of insertion, but as the needles are so thin, there is little or no pain associated.
-
Can I get Cosmetic Acupuncture if I have Botox or Fillers?Yes, I will just avoid facial areas treated with Botox within 4 weeks, or fillers within 3 months. Just be sure to tell me where you received your injections.
-
How many session will I need and how often?It really varies from skin to skin, in general, I recommend a series of 8-10 regularly treatments for best results. After completing your treatment plan, maintenance treatments can be done periodically as needed to maintain your youthful glow. Note, even in just one session, you may see the lifting, anti-inflammatory and brightening results. I suggest two times a week or at least once a week session for optimal results.
