Cosmetic Acupuncture: A Non-Surgical Way To Improve Facial Characteristic

In today’s day and age, people are increasingly concerned about their appearance. Most people believe they need to look their best in order to succeed in both their careers and social lives. A lot of women and even men have gone under the knife to surgically enhance their features. However, cosmetic surgery is a form of surgery, and has all the inherent surgical risks associated with it.

If you are looking for a non-surgical way to improve your facial characteristics, why not try cosmetic acupuncture. Acupuncture has been an integral part of Chinese medicine for over two millennia. Cosmetic acupuncture is around 800 years old and began with the Chinese empress using it to enhance her physical beauty. This procedure has been gaining much attention lately due to its non- invasive technique.

Treatment For Cosmetic Acupuncture

Before beginning any treatment, the cosmetic acupuncturist first asks you for your complete health history involving medical conditions, lifestyle habits, emotions and so on. By doing so, the health of the body can be assessed.

According to the acupuncturists, the health of the body can be improved by manipulating the energy flow in the body. For this purpose, the acupuncturists first identify energy lines along your body, known as meridians. For cosmetic acupuncture, a number of needles are inserted at very specific points along these meridians such as on the face, neck, hands and legs. This helps to stimulate the energy flow of the body and invigorates the facial area. This is because many meridians either begin or end on the face while some branches go through the face to other parts of the body.

The acupuncturist typically uses minimal needles in the first session, gradually increasing them with further sessions. The treatment length varies from 20 minutes to one hour. Do notify your acupuncturist if you experience any pain or discomfort during the therapy.

Cosmetic acupuncture is said to erase 5 to 15 years from your face, thus significantly masking the aging process. Further, droopy eyelids are lifted, bags under the eyes are reduced, and double chins are minimized. Other long-term benefits include increased moisture and elasticity of the skin and better muscle tone and jaw-line definition. Many women in USA have also reported health benefits such as improved digestion, less menstrual discomfort, decreased acne breakouts and so on.

Cosmetic acupuncture is an excellent option as it is far less costly and relatively painless as compared to surgery that has an extended recovery period. However, make sure you go to licensed practitioner so that there are fewer risks.
