Cosmetic Acupuncture involves inserting specialised acupuncture needles into problem areas of the face in order to stimulate blood flow which increases the flow of nutrients, oxygen and hydration in the area leading to a reduction of fine lines and an improvement in skin tone and quality.

Additionally, the micro-trauma caused by needling increases collagen production by stimulating the body’s own healing response and promoting fibroblast cells to increase the production of collagen and elastin. When the body lays down collagen in the areas of wrinkles it gives the effect of filling them in.

When needling the face for cosmetic enhancement, a number of techniques can be used depending on the client's main cosmetic concerns. In general, the premise of Facial Cosmetic Acupucnture is to promote the circulation of Qi and Blood in order to influence the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the facial soft tissue as well as the removal of metabolic waste.

Cosmetic Acupuncture has a number of mechanisms underlying its effectiveness including balancing Qi, harmonising the Zang Fu (body organ systems), increasing blood flow at the site of needle insertion and increasing muscle tone.

As there are a range of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence the aging process, all Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments include constitutional body TCM acupuncture in order to treat your organism as a whole.
