Natural Facelifts with Acupuncture
More and more Americans are turning away from Botox
and invasive cosmetic procedures and finding that facial acupuncture is giving
them the natural facelift they are looking for.
Facial acupuncture, which has seen a large increase
in popularity in the past ten years, works by improving blood flow at the site
of the needle placement and stimulating cell growth.
According to an article in the Daily Mail, inserting
acupuncture needles “encourages the production of healing collagen, the protein
which the body uses to keep the skin youthful and elastic.”
Patients have reported glowing skin after receiving a
30-minute acupuncture treatment as well as smoother and brighter skin the next
day. Color to the face also sees improvement from the increase in blood flow.
Cosmetic acupuncture can reduce and soften fine lines
in the face as well as reducing bags under the eyes.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine work by
addressing the body as a whole. Facial acupuncture will not only change the way
your skin looks, but will improve overall wellbeing. Reports of better sleep
and less stress have also been seen from facial acupuncture.
Because TCM believes that every part of the body is
linked to internal organs, it is believed that sagging skin can be a result of
a weakness in the spleen, and dark circles under the eye are linked to a liver
or stomach weakness.
When acupuncture addresses these organs through
specific points on the body, it returns the body to its normal function and as
a result helps the problem areas.
Facial/cosmetic acupuncture is non-invasive and has
no side effects. It is painless and not only helps rejuvenate the face, but
reduces feelings of anxiety and stress. Acupuncture helps improve the body’s
natural energy flow, called qi, returning the body back to balance.
Contact an acupuncturist to learn more about how
facial acupuncture can not only improve and rejuvenate skin, but destress and
relax the body and mind.
