What is Facial Acupuncture?

Facial acupuncture (also called Cosmetic acupuncture or Facial Rejuvenation) is an anti-aging natural treatment that uses Traditional Chinese Medicine to improve both your skin’s look while simultaneously boosting your overall health. Cosmetic acupuncture can be done with small facial needles, a microneedling pen, or a nanoneedling pen. Cosmetic acupuncture is a safe and effective alternative to botox. Facial acupuncture activates your bodies internal healing system within the skin layers. Facial Acupuncture can help make your skin look brighter, plumper and more lifted. Other benefits include reduced fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin tone, elasticity, it also tightens and tones facial muscles.

In addition to the local facial needling, body acupuncture points are included in the session to nourish the entire body and treat the “root” cause of facial and aesthetic concerns.

How does Facial Acupuncture compare to botox or fillers?

Botox keeps your skin smooth by injecting a neuro toxin under your skin and paralyzing underlying musculature. Facial acupuncture activates your bodies incredible healing system to improve complexion by triggering micro-trauma to the skin, resulting in firmer skin, reduction in wrinkles and tightening of jowls due to an increase in blood flow and production of collagen and elastin. It is typical for acupuncture patients to report other benefits, including more restful sleep (which is key for anti-aging!), improved digestion and energy levels, and a sense of overall improved wellness.

Botox has greater risk of side effects including; risk of undesired, unnatural results – asymmetries or loss of movement with botox and fillers.

Acupuncture, on the other hand, has very few potential adverse effects when done by an experienced practitioner. There is no risk of a ‘bad’ result because it promotes the body’s own ability to heal and stay radiant instead of changing how the body works. This leads to more natural results and graceful skin aging.

Last but not least, your doctor will always address your bodies root deficiencies. Body acupuncture points will be added to improve your overall health, energy and sleep. To treat the face without treating underlying concerns is counterproductive; results will be shorter-lived and the root causes of dull, aging skin will not be addressed.

What is LED light Therapy?

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin by increasing production of collagen, naturally. It can be used for fine lines and wrinkles, acne, sun damage, wounds, and other skin problems.
