Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture
A facial acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck in order to reduce the visible signs of aging.
Facial acupuncture can increase facial tone, decrease puffiness around the eyes, as well as bring more firmness to sagging skin, enhance the radiance of the complexion, and flesh out sunken areas by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Customarily, fine wrinkles will disappear, and deeper ones be reduced. It also reduces inflammation and dark spots, and releases muscle tension. As this treatment is not merely confined to the face, but incorporates the entire body and constitutional issues of health. Generally you should notice improvements in energy levels, digestion, immunity, and feel more relaxed.
