Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic Acupuncture is normally painless, except in certain sensitive areas. It is a non toxic treatment with long lasting results. The face becomes more radiant and wrinkles either become smaller/ shallower or disappear.

The beneficial effect of Cosmetic Acupuncture is not just anecdotal; there is scientific evidence to support the use of it.

Areas that can be improved:

1. Forehead wrinkles
2. Upper and lower medial and lateral eye area
3. Cheeks
4. Around the nose and mouth
5. Sagging of the skin or the mandible
6. Breasts
7. Upper and lower epigastria areas

Cosmetic Acupuncture also includes Body Acupuncture. A course of treatments usually 10 to 15 with twice a week visits.

How it works in brief:

An important cause of ageing and wrinkles is dehydration of epidermis and dermis, causing a reduction of collagen protein and elastin in dermis and reduced volume of subcutaneous fat tissue, both of which lead decrease in elasticity of skin.

How acupuncture works:

By permanently fibroblast, increasing their productivity and improving microcirculation on the face, acupuncture reduces the dehydration of the skin. Stimulation of certain points can increase SOD* in blood and tissues whereby slowing down the ageing process.

( * SOD is an enzyme that has anti oxidant properties)
