The Treatment Plan:
Very fine, disposable acupuncture needles are gently placed in the face to stimulate and increase the local production of collagen and elastin which strengthen the structure of the skin. The result is a general contraction of facial tissue producing a smoother, firmer appearance. In addition, there is increased circulation of blood and lymph, improving the complexion.
Based on the principles of ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine, the face is understandably not considered to be separate from the rest of the body, hence acupuncture needles are also placed in specific locations on the body to support this Cosmetic Procedure.
The Treatment Protocol:
Each course of treatment is administered twice per week for five weeks, for a total of ten treatments. Followed by a regimen of two treatments every six months.
