Facial Enhancement Cosmetic Acupuncture
From as early as 960AD-1070 the Sung Dynasty Empress and the Emperor's concubines used facial or cosmetic acupuncture. Today life is very different. We lead incredibly stressful lives with demanding jobs and family commitments. Pressure from the media to look good is all around us. The use of Botox and fillers is now readily available on the high street and no longer just for the celebrities, but if we are not happy and contented on the inside then it is an unreasonable expectation for our faces to exude a radiance and natural beauty.
What is the alternative to Botox and fillers?
Facial or cosmetic acupuncture is different. This is a natural approach to softening those fine lines and lifting the face to give a more youthful appearance.
The treatment improves the circulation of blood and therefore nutrients to the skin, that gives a healthy glow. But there is more, acupuncture will help strengthen mind, body and spirit and improve your whole health which will show in your face. Facial acupuncture treatment concentrates on points and muscles of the face in order to improve the elasticity of the skin and general overall appearance. Acupuncture points on the legs, arms and body are also used to help re balance and harmonise the systems of the body.
In 1996 the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture published that of 300 people who had received Facial Acupuncture, 90% noticed marked improvements after just one treatment.
The Irish Times recently wrote that this treatment was:
...a viable alternative to cosmetic surgery and the effects can run much deeper than simply improving appearances.
