About Cosmetic Facial acupuncture
Cosmetic Facial acupuncture is a non-surgical option to give a natural improvement to the skin. It is also known as Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture or Cosmetic Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture involves the placement of very fine needles into various specifically chosen points on the face and, sometimes, other areas of the body. The needles are believed to create a natural healing and rejuvenation response in the skin including:
· Increased blood circulation, oxygenation and lymphatic drainage.
· Stimulation of natural skin healing mechanisms such as the production of collagen
· Encourage fresh skin cell regeneration.
· Improve activity and tone in the supporting muscles of the face and neck.
· Plump up the skin to remove fine lines.
· Gives the appearance of rejuvenated, healthier and younger looking skin.
· Improve skin tone and texture.
The treatment is focussed towards where you feel like your problem areas are. Standard acupuncture points will also be used as a compliment to your personalized treatment program.
Side Effects of Cosmetic Facial acupuncture
Acupuncture can make you feel drowsy for short time after the treatment and you may find this catches up with you later in the evening. You are welcome to have a rest in our comfortable waiting area and have some refreshments. Many acupuncture patients say they sleep very soundly the night of the treatment.
Due to the delicate nature of some of the blood vessels around the face very, very occasionally a small bruise may occur. This is usually small and easily covered with make up.
