Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural and holistic alternative to western cosmetic procedures.
In Chinese medicine we believe that a wrinkle will occur in an area of weakness long before it will occur in a healthy area. Therefore, attention must be paid to the location of early lines and deep wrinkles and the underlying disharmony treated simultaneously with wrinkle treatment.
A diagnostic microsystem called Ruri Face Diagnosis is used, whereby illness in the body can be diagnosed by observation of the marking and ageing of the face. By treating the cause and the symptoms together we are able to achieve better, longer-lasting results.
The needles create a micro-trauma in the skin to create a lot of energy and blood to the area to create a natural healing response.
Collagen production is enhanced, elastin regains elastic quality and with each treatment the skin will appear fresher, tone will even out and look healthier. Treatment can also help reduce acne scarring, creases and wrinkles and general signs of ageing in the skin.
The ideal age to commence cosmetic acupuncture is in the late twenties and early thirties when the first signs of ageing appear. The skins natural renewal process declines after the age of 28, therefore the more time that passes after that age until treatment is sought, the less dramatic the results that can be achieved.
