So what is
Cosmetic Acupuncture? The protocol I have been most impressed with is the Mei
Zen (beautiful person) Acupuncture System. After a series of 10 treatments
(twice a week for five weeks), skin becomes more delicate, fine lines begin to
fade, there is less sagginess and droopy eyelids, and there’s an overall
improvement of skin texture and tone. And, as an added benefit, patients report
an overall rejuvenation that is not confined to the face. Patients leave
sessions feeling more relaxed, focused and even report improved sleep and
overall energy levels throughout the day.
Chinese medicine
is so advanced in terms of “anti-aging” solutions. The underlying principles are about restoring
natural beauty from the inside out. This ancient approach has worked for
thousands of years, freeing up chi (energy) and improving circulation. When
performing any type of cosmetic acupuncture the needles in the face are
inserted at a shallower depth than in regular acupuncture. This creates micro traumas in the body that
increase the production of collagen and elastin. This is the same process that happens when
you cut your finger and new skin starts to grow. In addition , there are meridians (pathway of
energy) that run through the face and make connections to internal organs.
Stimulation of specific points along these meridians balances the body and
treats the underlying factors of aging process.
