What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Have you been hearing about cosmetic acupuncture lately? I have been getting more and more questions about it and thought it would be a great thing to touch on. If you are curious about what cosmetic acupuncture is and what it can do for you, keep reading!
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a system of acupuncture that harnesses principles of ancient Chinese Medicine to help you look and feel younger. It is the ONLY cosmetic procedure on the market that also improves your overall health! Patients of cosmetic acupuncture enjoy a youthful and bright appearance, increased energy, higher quality sleep, improved digestion, and a stronger immune system! Other effects may include greater mental clarity and focus, a reduction in seasonal allergies and food sensitivities, a reduction in depression and anxiety, and an enhanced sex drive.
All of this from cosmetic acupuncture?!…ABSOLUTELY, YES!!!
This is truly an inside-out approach to beauty with a 2-in-1 treatment method! With cosmetic acupuncture, we meet you where you are at with a full health assessment and treatment for any internal health imbalances you are experiencing. This assessment and full body treatment are done at every visit. In addition, you also receive cosmetic acupuncture which will rebuild your collagen and elastin matrix under the skin. This is the part of your skin that becomes less supple as you age, causing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging or sunken skin.
Rebuilding the matrix tightens and tones the skin, firming in the right areas, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, and filling in sunken areas (think under eyes, cheeks, and upper lip!) It also brings fresh blood and oxygen to the surface which better nourishes and moisturizes the skin giving it a youthful glow, balancing uneven skin tone and can even fade discolorations such as melasma and age spots. Cosmetic Acupuncture is used to treat skin conditions like acne and rosacea as well.
You get all these benefits without toxic injections, fillers and risky surgeries! If you are thinking of cosmetic procedures to manage your aging process and slow the clock, don’t do it at the detriment to your health. Choose the 100% natural, nonsurgical, non-injectable win-win option and reap the total body health and wellness benefits that come with cosmetic acupuncture!
How does it work?
We always start with a free 15 minute no obligation consultation. Let’s meet in person and sit down to decide if cosmetic acupuncture is right for you! This gives me a chance to explain in detail how it all works and gives you a chance to ask any questions you might have. You can also decide what area to focus on as we can focus on the neck or the face.
After we decide if this is the right for you, we look to our calendars and come up with a game plan. The cosmetic acupuncture protocol is important to follow and is five weeks long with two appointments per week. For this reason, it’s a good idea to make sure you won’t be out of town and that we get the appointments set up and ready to go. After the five-week protocol it is suggested you come in for a follow up visit after two weeks and then once a month after that for maintenance of your results. We can’t stop the hands of time, so the results are not permanent (as with any cosmetic procedure). For this reason, the protocol can be repeated as often as you like but most people can go 3-5 years before choosing to do the protocol again (this depends on your age, lifestyle factors, and if you are getting in for your monthly follow-ups.)
What to expect:
Results do vary, this is greatly dependent on what you do outside of our visits. Lifestyle is a key factor to any anti-aging regimen! Skin care, nutrition, water intake, stress level, and physical activity all play a role! The acupuncture treatments will start to affect your overall health almost immediately and you will start to feel a difference within the first few visits. Usually by week 3-4 you will start to feel and see a noticeable difference with your skin. It takes 4 weeks to rebuild the collagen and elastin matrix and it will continue to rebuild even after the 5-week protocol has ended. Usually the greatest results are reported about a month after we have ended regular treatments and move into your maintenance visits.
Whether you are in your 20’s or 30’s and looking at preventative anti-aging or you are in your 50’s, 60’s or better and looking to turn back the hands of time cosmetic acupuncture is a perfect option! Call today to schedule your 15 minutes free no obligation consultation today! (715) 716-5909
With wishes of wellness and beauty from the inside-out!
