Facial Rejuvenation
Facial acupuncture improves skin tone, texture and elasticity. Through a series of techniques that include the insertion of small, hair-thin needles, cupping, and gua sha, an acupuncture treatment can greatly improve the look and underlying health of any skin. This combination of techniques has been shown to enhance blood flow to the small vessels of the face. The needles cause healing compounds to be send to the location of insertion to create new skin that is smooth, tight and healthy.
Our skin is constantly regrowing itself. As the outermost layer of skin is shed off, new skin is pushed out from a deeper layer and the process repeats itself. As skin grows during the acupuncture process, the old skin is replaced by skin that is more resilient and has more elasticity. On top of that, the small facial muscles beneath the skin become more relaxed, smoothing the skin and removing creases and wrinkles. Gua Sha adds to this by flushing fluid and lymph buildup to remove puffiness and excess water.
The effect is skin that is naturally healthier, smoother and more vibrant.
The best results are seen within a month of regular treatment as new healthy, glowing skin grows out to the surface.
