Cosmetic Improvement from the Inside Out
There is nothing wrong with wanting to look as good as you feel, if not better. Therein lies the popularity of the cosmetic acupuncture facial. Acupuncture treatment can be applied to the whole body but with targeted application, it has been known to produce spectacular cosmetic results, without abandoning the usual physical and emotional benefits.
An acupuncturist will see your face as a reflection of your inner state. Practitioners always see the forest for the trees. They are then able to zoom in on specific cosmetic issues and begin work on diagnosis and treatment. Cosmetically speaking, these are some examples of such issues:
Puffiness
Puffiness in the face is typically a sign of digestive problems, allergies, or poor lymphatic drainage. Depending on the bodily system believed to be affected, we will insert fine sterile needles at strategic points. This will result in a “micro-trauma” at each point which triggers a healing response both locally and throughout the body.
Acne
Acne is most often caused by monthly hormonal fluctuations. Those fluctuations produce internal heat. The rebalancing effect of acupuncture tends to adjust such breakouts, even premenstrual ones. The digestive system is also a culprit in this case. Chronic breakouts of this variety are also calmed by acupuncture treatment.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a more severe, long-term skin condition affecting the face with some combination of the previous two symptoms, as well as redness and small, superficial dilated blood vessels covering the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. A related, equally severe disease known as rhinophyma might follow a red, enlarged nose. It all stems back to internal digestive issues. Acupuncture will continue to adjust this, as it does in the other cases, and by clearing up said issues, will minimize redness and irritation in the skin tissue.
Dull Skin
It may seem like the topics covered are still more health-related than cosmetic but, as always, we see it all as related. Take your complexion for example. Who doesn’t want a clear, bright complexion? Inserting acupuncture needles will stimulate circulation, lymphatic drainage and collagen production. Out with the dullness, in with renewed energy flowing through the body.
Loose Skin
Acupuncture has zero effect on gravity but it can do something about slack facial skin. By relaxing the deeper tissue muscles that are too tight and tightening the ones that are loose, it lifts and sculpts the cheeks and jawline. The treatment is highly effective when it comes to muscle tone and deeper tissue tone. It even lifts your eyebrows.
