Cosmetic Acupuncture also has the added bonus of relieving stress, inducing a sense of relaxation.
In a cosmetic treatment various methods are used to restore circulation of blood and energy to the face. Firstly body points are selected based on the client’s constitution. Gentle cleansers and oils are applied to prepare the skin for treatment.
Both Jade Gua Sha and Jade Rollers are used for massaging and scraping purposes on the skin. It can significantly reduce the wrinkles, tone the skin, lift the skin, remove eye bags, and reduce wrinkles. Chinese massage (Tui Na) is then used to stimulate the skin and then the needles are applied to the face. The client then relaxes for 20 minutes until the needles are removed and the Chinese Medicine face oils are applied.
Derma Rollers are also often prescribed as part of the treatment (available for purchase) to further enhance upkeep of skin and stimulate collagen between treatments.
It is recommended that a minimum of three treatments is applied with obviously added improvement with more treatments.
