Cosmetic acupuncture works by improving qi and blood flow to your skin and moving your lymph system. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin by causing micro injury at the site the needles are inserted which turns on the body’s healing response. This is may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Acupuncture may also relieve tension in the facial muscles to relieve severe frown lines and tighten muscles to create firmer looking skin and lift any drooping.
Our clinic uses the highest quality, ultra fine cosmetic facial needles for cosmetic acupuncture.
