Cosmetic Acupuncture in Richmond Hill
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation?
The ancient Chinese have known for hundreds of years that true beauty comes from within, in this case, under the skin. They knew that treating the underlying causes of premature aging would cease its effect on the body. Practitioners would take several sharp pin-like needles and pierce just the surface layer of skin in order to trigger specific pressure points. When pricking specific areas of the face, tension would release tight muscles and stimulate the body’s healing abilities. This treatment was called acupuncture.
Cosmetic acupuncture is becoming a sought-after procedure to not only achieve facial rejuvenation, but to help treat underlying causes of premature aging as well. Acupuncture has been known to reduce visible aging, release tension in sore spots and reduce inflammation. Recently, acupuncture has become popular within the anti-aging cosmetic industry as a more natural, non-invasive method of reducing wrinkles. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture was originally developed for patients with paralyzed muscles from Bell’s Palsy or stroke. The result of treatment was so cosmetically pronounced overtime that it was transformed into a program to rejuvenate skin quality. The cosmetic aspect of acupuncture comes from the needles activating your body’s natural instinct to heal itself. When poked with a sharp needle, the body will release collagen. This protein in our bodies promotes hydration and elasticity in the skin, which is what contributes to reducing the look of wrinkles.

What’s Involved?
Cosmetic acupuncture is a form of acupuncture that is offered by qualified practitioners. Fine needles are strategically placed in target areas. This works in a similar way to Botox except acupuncture does not paralyze the facial muscles the way Botox does. (Botulinum toxin, aka Botox, is a neurotoxin and it stops communication between nerves and muscles. Only the growth of new nerve endings can restore muscle function, and that can take months.) Facial cosmetic acupuncture also improves circulation to the skin, which ultimately can increase the texture and brightness of one’s complexion.
If you think a bunch of needles in your face sounds scary…well, it does when you say it like that! Rest assured, cosmetic acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive method of reducing the signs of aging that results in incredible facial rejuvenation with only a few treatments. So really, this isn’t just an acupuncture treatment, but a proven protocol for healthy, rejuvenated skin.
