Cosmetic Acupuncture
with Tracy Schreiter, LAc
Cosmetic acupuncture, often referred to as Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture, or Acupuncture Facelift, is a deeply relaxing holistic approach to skin health and anti-aging that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the face and body.
-
​Improved Blood Circulation: Acupuncture promotes better blood circulation, which can enhance the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. Improved circulation helps in the natural rejuvenation and regeneration of skin tissues.
-
Collagen Production: Acupuncture stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure to the skin. Collagen helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
-
Muscle Relaxation: By targeting specific facial muscles, acupuncture can help relax tense muscles. This may contribute to a reduction in facial tension and the smoothing of expression lines.
-
Balancing Energy (Qi): In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture is based on the concept of balancing the flow of vital energy or Qi. By balancing Qi, acupuncture addresses imbalances in the body, which can manifest as signs of aging on the skin.
-
Stress Reduction: Acupuncture is known for its stress-reducing effects. Stress can contribute to premature aging. By promoting relaxation, acupuncture indirectly supports overall skin health.
-
Lymphatic Drainage: Guasha, a technique used in addition to acupuncture during Facial Rejuvenation treatments, assists in promoting lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce puffiness and improve the removal of toxins from the facial tissues.
