Cosmetic Acupuncture
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, or Cosmetic Acupuncture, is a natural, holistic alternative to plastic surgery and botox injections.
​
Micro-thin needles are gently inserted into specific points on the face to stimulate blood-flow and collagen production. The result is improved muscle tone and skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and leaving the skin bright, hydrated, and healthy-looking.
​
To enhance the session, infrared light and mico-current treatments are also included.
​
How many treatments will I need?
A typical course of treatment consists of 10 sessions, performed twice per week. After the initial course of treatment, monthly or seasonal maintenance sessions are recommended.
​
How long does Facial Acupuncture last?
Research has shown that a cosmetic acupuncture facelift can last 3-5 years. It is important to understand that the aging process continues during this time, and that diet, age, lifestyle and illnesses can affect the length of the results.
​
Are there any side effects?
Potential side effects include the possibility of minor, temporary bruising or temporarily flushed skin. The most common side-effects are that you feel relaxed, refreshed, and revitalized.
​
How do I prepare for my cosmetic acupuncture sessions?
Wear comfortable clothes or bring shorts and a short sleeve top. Avoid taking ibuprofen (advil), aspirin or excessive doses of Vitamin E two weeks prior, to reduce the potential for bruising (unless you have been otherwise advised by your doctor).
Do not wear make-up to the treatments. Your skin should be clean.
No sauna, hot tub, or hot showers for one hour before the treatment.
Do not wear sunscreen before the treatments; but do wear it after the treatments.
​
What is the cost?
Individual sessions are $105, and the 10-treatment package is $950. If you’d like to experience a treatment before committing to the full package, the cost of your first session can be applied towards the purchase of a package.
