This cosmetic treatment is an extension of traditional acupuncture. It is said to naturally help make the skin look younger, smoother, and all-around healthier. Unlike injection procedures, facial acupuncture addresses not only signs of aging, but also the skin’s overall health.
Q: How does facial acupuncture work? And does having 50 tiny needles inserted across the face hurt?
A: The goal is to perform as few needle insertions as necessary. The needles are incredibly fine so they make the slightest of painless pricks. What these tiny punctures do is cause the body to go into repair mode, increasing circulation and oxygen supply to the skin.
The technique, inspired from traditional acupuncture, encourages production of newer, stronger collagen and elastin fibers resulting in improved firmness, elasticity, reduced fine lines and a healthier complexion and texture overall.
This micro-wound healing response, unlike Botox, can influence the long term health of the skin, working on more than just the superficial signs of aging.
