Q & A
What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture is a holistic cosmetic treatment rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), aimed at improving the signs of aging on the face. it is based on the belief that imbalances in the body's energy flow, known as "Qi," can manifest as various health issues, including those affecting facial skin.
The treatment involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the face and other part of the body to address underlying imbalances. These needle stimulate circulation, promote collagen production, and enhance muscle tones. The effects of this stimulation can lead to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and puffiness. Additionally, it can improve skin texture and promote a healthy, radiant glow.
By addressing both the external and internal causes of aging, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture offers a comprehensive approach to skin care, aiming to restore balance and harmony within the body while enhancing the natural beauty of the face.
