Since positive effect of Cosmetic Acupuncture is that one not only looks younger but also feels younger, these procedures are also often called "Anti-Aging Treatments".

Facial Rejuvenation works because this treatment promotes the circulation of Qi and Blood in the face which helps hydrate the skin, which in turn produces collagen. The final result is prevention of wrinkles as collagen increases muscle tone and elasticity.

Cosmetic acupuncture has an edge over other modern treatments, as it is less expensive, healthier and safer. There are no side effects like numbness, scarring, atrophy, and no lengthy postoperative recovery time.

Facial Rejuvenation using Acupuncture:

This procedure is done by using new tiny, short needles less than a half-inch long. This new area of acupuncture is catching on fast as it brings the Qi up to the face and stimulates circulation and helps restore the beneficial collagen to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

How does Facial Rejuvenation work?

Just as there are acupoints on the body, there are acupoints on the face as well. As the needles are applied, the Qi begins to flow to the face and its youthful qualities begin to reappear.

After the needles are gently applied, the Qi energy in the body begins to fill in the lines. By having Facial Rejuvenation treatments along with using proper skin care, your youthful glow begins to reappear.

How long does it take to see a change?

It is different for different people. Some people can visibly see the changes after their first visit. Some need at least 8 to 10 sessions to see the results.
