The insertion of tiny hair-thin needles into specific acupuncture points in the facial tissue allows your body to naturally increase blood circulation to the area and stimulates collagen and elastin production. The skin will be nourished, oxygenated, and moisturized from the inside out. The improved blood flow, collagen and elastin production will allow for more tightness and elasticity helping to fill out the fine lines and lift and firm the skin.
There will also be acupuncture points on the body (typically on the arms and legs) which will address any underlying health issue. Very often this includes stress, overwhelm, anxiety, tension or pain, digestive complaints or hormonal issues. When the whole body is treated, this has an exceptional effect on healthier and more radiant skin.
The Cosmetic acupuncture treatments are customized to the individual, just like regular acupuncture treatments. This means that Dr. Maryam will assess your constitution, health history and personal goals and treat you accordingly.
