Cosmetic Acupuncture
What is Cosemtic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture is an exciting innovation in the world of antiaging. It is a non-invasive way of looking younger with out the risks and expense of cosmetic surgery. In addition to the improvement in appearance cosmetic acupuncture functions as a holistic system. Cosmetic acupuncture or Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (FRA) treats the body and organ systems simultaneously. You look better and feel better.
What you can expect with FRA is a reduction in fine lines, improved complexion, improved elasticity via the collagen and elastin matrix, leveling of deeper lines. The lines may never go away but they can fill-up and look much softer and less harsh. The beginning of jowls can be minimized. There can be an improvement in conditions like acne, rosacea and broken capillaries. Age spots can fade.
FRA works in several ways. The most known aspect is the ability of the needles to promote production of collagen. The needles cause micro traumas under the skin and the healing process induces the production of collagen which in turn reduces fine lines and assist in the filling of deep lines.
Needling influences the muscles of the face and can reduce the resting facial muscle tone that naturally increases with age. By increasing relaxation and elasticity of these muscles it may also reduce the heat produced by the muscles, reducing skin dryness which is associated with wrinkle formation. This can then contribute to beneficial changes in facial shape. There is also research demonstrating that using acupuncture points on the face increased oil and water content after treatment.
What to Expect at Errant Energy Exchange?
Here at Errant Energy Exchange, we offer Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture from our community acupuncture setting. We offer a Target Lift. This involves treating the selected area of your face that you would like us to work on, some generalized facial points and the placing of the needles into the body. The body needles are an integral part of the treatment. An example of this are the frown lines on the forehead. In Chinese Medicine they are associated with the digestive system. By treating your digestive system, you feel better and that can have a beneficial effect on the appearance of your forehead.
To see the most benefits, do a course of between 8 to 10 treatments
We start our treatments by putting needles into your body based on how your system is functioning. If you are having digestive issues, we will treat that at the same time. We will then place the needles into the area of the face that you would like to improve the appearance of – the forehead and frown lines. Bags under the eyes. Firming up
