How Does Cosmetic Acupuncture Work?
The concept of health and beauty are one, and the face is a mirror to a person’s underlying health. The functional activities of the human body are not isolated. Acupuncture meridians form a network, which communicate with all the organs of the body bringing a person into an organic whole. Meridians circulate vital Qi (energy) and blood around the whole body with many meridians either beginning or ending on the face, and different areas of the face correlate to specific organs in the body- hence the reflection of internal health on appearance.
Acupuncture can regulate the flow of qi and blood and restore balance to the body to improve looks and overall health. Unlike other anti- ageing facial treatments the benefits of a constitutional approach will have you looking better and feeling your best! Additionally, cosmetic Acupuncture is generally safer and more affordable than Botox, Collagen injections, dermabrasion, cosmetic Surgery and involves no recovery time.
