What Is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic Acupuncture Offers A Safe Alternative To Botox Or Surgery.
Also known as
Facial Rejuvenation, Acupuncture, or
Acupuncture Facelift, Cosmetic Acupuncture is a safe, effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, which involves the insertion of very thin sterile, disposable needles into the acupuncture points on the face. This superficial insertion will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.
It is more than a cosmetic procedure.
It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help the whole body look and feel younger.
Based on the principles of Oriental Medicine, it helps the whole body look and feel younger by addressing the physical, mental and emotional patterns that cause disease and contribute to the aging process. The use of acupuncture to slow the visible effects of aging began in
China in the Song Dynasty (960-1279AD). In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as “Chinese Medical Cosmetology”.

Can I Have Cosmetic Acupuncture If I Had Botox?
Yes, Cosmetic Acupuncture will maintain the effectiveness of Botox. So it will save you a couple Botox injections per year.
What is the course of treatment?
A course of treatment consists of 10-15 sessions (generally 12).
The first 6 sessions should be performed twice a week and the last 6 sessions once a week to get maximum result. This means that a full course of sessions takes 9 weeks to complete. After completing a course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the results. Maintenance sessions usually occur monthly for 2 to 3 months and then seasonally for as long as you wish to maintain results.Some results may be seen as early as the 2nd or the 3rd session but the effects become most noticeable and lasting on or about the 7th or 8th session. In some exceptionally difficult cases, the course of treatment may need to be repeated again. As in surgical facelifts, the actual outcome and how long the effects will last cannot be predicted. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her age, condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. For this reason, results for some may be more or less dramatic than they are for others.
