Cosmetic acupuncture benefits the face by increasing production of collagen, improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, rejuvenating the skin and slowing the aging process at a metabolic and cellular level.

Facial acupuncture reduces stress shown on face and the stress felt within, the benefits of facial acupuncture are multiple and are long lasting for the treatment of;

Beside the cosmetic effects of facial acupuncture there are several other benefits that people report include relief of stress, increased stress tollerance, reduced migraines and headaches, improved hay fever and sinus along with less jaw and TMJ pain.

A research Study in 1996 reported in the international Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 98% had marked effects with one course of treatment.

Acupuncture works for fine lines and wrinkles by threading ultra-thin, sterilized needles underneath into the dermis layer where they form, the needles cause a microtrauma releasing a hormone called growth factor that stimulates the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and attracts stem cells to the area to rejuvenate and repair the wrinkles and lines from the inside.

Facial treatments such as microneedling, dermabrasion exfoliation, or chemical peels work similar but only on the surface or epidermis, facial acupuncture is able to target deeper into the dermis and subcutaneous layers where wrinkles are caused.

Facial acupuncture also has ability to tone and lift by stimulating motor points that control facial muscle tone to give a brow or chin lift, acupuncture can include points that relax facial tension and increase blood and lymphatic circulation deep in the subcutaneous tissue supplying the skin, enabling broader cosmetic benefits that include improving the texture, elasticity and tone of the skin.

Acupuncture points that stimulate lymphatic drainage and detoxification are also used to help acne and to improve swollen appearance on the face and jaw line.

Botox works by injecting the botulinum toxin to temporarily weaken muscles by blocking nerve signals, it is quick and dramatic with its effects wearing off in a couple of months, additionally and results reduce with repeated usage.

The long term accumulative side effects and safety of botox are unknown.

Cosmetic acupuncture is completely safe as it is stimulating the body’s own stem cells, collegen and hyaluronic acid production to give gradual and natural results by regenerating and repairing tissues.

It becomes more effective the more you use it and the results last only ‘wearing off” with natural aging.

Facial acupuncture works over a series of treatments and a minimum of 6 treatments once per week to see significant results in younger healthy skin, older skin may require 12 treatments once to twice per week to get marked change.

Follow up maintenance is recommended at 1 treatment per month depending on individual goals and wishes.

Continuing improvements to the skin are observed for up to 6-8 weeks after finishing a course of treatment, the effects of facial acupuncture only wear off with the natural process of aging so some maintenance is recommended to counter act time.

Maintaining results vary between individuals enhanced by a consistent skincare routine, drinking enough water, eating a balanced diet and managing stress can all enhance and prolong the effects.

Most people feel the calming effects of facial acupuncture straight away with less tension and stress showing immediately after on the face, reduced puffiness, improved complexion and fine lines begin to show around 4- 6 weeks.

Changes to deep wrinkles and scars will also start to show but often the most significant changes are seen in the 10 -12 treatment stage.

For best results initial treatments should be done a minimum once per week for at least 6 treatments to begin seeing more noticeable results with fine lines and wrinkles with results accelerating with treatments done twice per week.

The first cosmetic acupuncture treatment begins with a consultation to assess the face and neck to make the treatment plan that addresses several areas or benefits in a single treatment.

After the areas and priorities have been confirmed the facial acupuncture treatment is performed, it should feel relaxing and comfortable after the needles are placed for 25 minutes with most people relaxing or falling asleep, the whole session takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Facial acupuncture is suitable for every body no matter the age or skin type, it is especially good for those who have been using botox and fillers for many years,it is safe with all medications, even blood thinners.

Aupuncuture Clermont reccomends waiting 4 weeks after having Botox or filler before having an Acupuncture facial treatment and do not treat individuals under 18 yeras of age.

The cost of facial acupuncture is from $60 with a package at Acupuncture Clermont but you can pay up to $150 per treatment in many places, no matter where you go facial acupuncture requires at least 6-12 treatments to get significant long-term effects so make sure you are not paying more for little to no additional benifits.

The cost of acupuncture on the face need not be more expensive than it is for acupuncuture on the body unless additional procedures like a facial Gua Sha, facial cupping or products are included.

Research and experience shows it is the acupuncture part of the facial rejuvination session that makes the most difference, the other add ons like products, Jade Gua Sha, Jade rollers and facial Cupping are best used at home on a daily basis for weeks to get any noticable effects.

We do not sell any cosmetic products after the treatment, we know most people already have plenty of good products at home.

Facial Acupuncture has little to no side effects except for the occasional redness around areas treated that disapears fast, rarely a small bruise on the skin in the area needled may also occur, it will disappear quickly and is easily covered with make-up.

When treating acne or swelling in the jaw line and neck there can be a small break out of mild pimples after the first couple of treatments, this is due to detoxification.

An occasional pinch might be felt when needles are placed initially but the treatment should be relaxing and comfortable.
