Holistic Facial Acupuncture

The new Botox-free approach to a younger-looking face

Cosmetic Acupuncture? New?

Facial Acupuncture

Actually, there’s nothing new about cosmetic acupuncture, though for a long time it was off limits for regular folks. That’s because, for many years it was restricted to the imperial court of China, where it was used to keep the Emperor’s wives and concubines looking their best. Now, however, this ancient practice is available to anyone.

Facial acupuncture aims to enhance the natural beauty of the face to help you age gracefully while at the same time promoting health and longevity.

Facial acupuncture is completely different than the surgical procedures you’ve heard of, like chemically based interventions such as Botox or surgical procedures like face lifts. Botox, for example, uses injections of the botulinum neurotoxin to temporarily paralyze the muscles of your face. The muscles then “relax,” which smooths wrinkles, at least for a while.

Acupuncture for Younger-Looking Skin

Facial acupuncture side view

Facial acupuncture uses thin needles to painlessly and non-chemically enhance the flow of blood and nutrients to the area being treated. The result is naturally healthier skin. How? Research shows that acupuncture can down-regulate genes involved in muscle breakdown, while up-regulating protein synthesis. By inserting needles on the head, face, and neck, acupuncture creates a natural healing cascade to release growth factors and stimulate the production and deposition of collagen and elastin in the dermis. Your facial elasticity is improved by the resulting restoration of mimetic muscle tone. Visually, this shows as a softening of deep wrinkles and elimination of small fine lines.

We’ve all heard the saying that beauty is only skin deep, but facial acupuncture’s benefits go further than that. Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests that many conditions, both physical and emotional, can manifest on the face as wrinkles, folds, blemishes, or markings. In this view, holistic facial acupuncture not only improves the appearance, but can also potentially lead to deeper healing.
