Cosmetic Acupuncture

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE IN MELBOURNE

Acupuncture is a part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practised for centuries, traced back to 2500 years. The technique is based on an ancient theory which states that there are patterns of energy flowing through the body called Chi (Qi) that are essential for health. Acupuncture corrects any imbalance of this energy and heals our body. Traditionally, acupuncture helped in treating body pains, headaches, or even nausea. But this technique has many supplementary benefits as well.

Therefore cosmetic acupuncture gradually evolved as an extension of traditional acupuncture. It helps in making skin look younger, smoother and healthier. Unlike the other procedures such as Botox, which inject foreign fluids into the body, acupuncture is a more natural way to get glowing and rejuvenated skin. The procedure is believed to improve the skin’s health and general wellbeing.

What Cosmetic Acupuncture can do:

• If you have concerns about fine lines and wrinkles, then cosmetic acupuncture technique can do wonders for you. This procedure often stimulates collagen and elastin production which helps to soften fine lines, plumping up the face, and giving your face a youthful glow.
• Acupuncture works on the regeneration of fibre and production of collagen; it aims to improve problems like sagging and dropping. It helps tighten the skin, helping you age gracefully.
• This treatment keeps skin hydrated and nourished which improves skin conditions such as dryness, flakiness and dullness. After cosmetic acupuncture procedure, your skin gets an instant rush of blood flow to the face which helps the skin and connective soft tissue become healthier, allowing the skin to retain moisture for longer period of time.
• With aging, your skin experiences many changes resulting in hyperpigmentation and dark spots around the sides of the face or around the cheek area. Inserting tiny needles in affected areas increases blood flow help fade any pigmentations and discolouration.
• Cosmetic acupuncture helps reduce acne and scarring by increasing white cells and accelerating the detoxification process, as well as building skin immunity against bacteria.
• It also works to help release endorphins, which work to relieve stress and anxiety.

How Cosmetic Acupuncture Works:

Cosmetic acupuncture treatment in Melbourne, the acupuncturist inserts up to 30 tiny needles at specific motor points on your face. These tiny needles create painless micro-traumas to the skin, making it go into repair mode. As a response, the body circulates fresh blood in those affected areas, which promotes greater circulation and tightening of muscles. The punctures could also have stimulating effects on the lymphatic and circulatory system, which work in unison to boost nutrients and oxygen flow to skin cells. The stimulation pushes for skin rejuvenation through the production of collagen, which helps improve skin elasticity while minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.
