Cosmetic Acupuncture / Facial Rejuvenation

 
Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, which involves the insertion of very fine disposable needles into the acupuncture points on the face.
This superficial insertion will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion

 

         "A 1996 report in the international journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment.
        
The effects include: The skin becomes delicate, improvement of elasticity of facial muscles, ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation." 

 How it works  

Your anti-aging facial rejuvenation treatment begins with a client consultation in which the best course of treatment will be determined according to your skin's appearance and complexion.Tiny cosmetic acupuncture needles will be inserted very superficially into the areas of highest concern for each client, as well as in areas that may be requiring a little 'pick-me-up'. The client will relax for approximately 30 minutes while cosmetic acupuncture needles begin stimulating circulation, enhancing collagen production, and ultimately reducing those fine lines and wrinkles.Facial rejuvenation treatment – works to restore your skin's natural radiance.  Galvanic current technology (originally from Europe) is used with the face conductor, pre-treatment and treatment facial gels to immediately enhance the complexion, leaving the skin looking refreshed, healthier and more vibrant!


Negatively charged pre-treatment gel binds to impurities, and marigold, sea kelp and vanilla extracts soothe and condition the skin. The positively charged treatment gel revives and invigorates the skin. It is formulated with arginine to facilitate recovery from stress, as well as magnesium, a necessary component of a skin cell's energy cycle.Additionally, the positively charged instrument attracts impurities and toxins bound to negatively-charged surfactants during the pre-treatment phase for a deep cleanse. You will feel extremely relaxed, your skin will tingle, and you will look and feel years younger!
