Struggling with your health? There's an easier & healthier way to find relief
Cosmetic acupuncture is a technique based on Chinese Medicine principles that treats imbalances of the body, from the inside out. We use tiny needles on the face, neck and decolletage which reach the dermis level; bringing oxygen and blood to the skin, stimulating circulation and telling the body to produce more collagen and elastin in those specific areas.
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a way to take care of your skin and overall health in a holistic way. By treating the internal causes of aging and placing needles in the dermis, we are reinvigorating the matrix of collagen and elastin which starts declining at age 30.
We will do an initial consult so I can learn about your specific condition, overall life-style and health. With this information, I will design a treatment plan to address the cosmetic concerns and also solve other body imbalances. For example; a person that has poor digestion and constipation will show early signs of aging and will usually present melasma – skin discoloration. Another example; a patient that has insomnia will reflect their lack of sleep and low energy around their eyes, with dark circles and sagging skin. This is why we want to address imbalances in the body and simultaneously treat the face and neck to stimulate collagen production.
Additionally, I will create a personalized anti-aging plan and make recommendations on food therapy, supplements and Chinese herbal medicine. I will also recommend skin care products for your skin type and teach you how to take care of yourself at home by gifting you a ‘skin care kit’ that you can use in the comfort of your home.
For many years I had heard about cosmetic acupuncture, but it was this past fall when I decided to read about it and find out why and how it worked. I learned this therapy from Dr. Martha Lucas who holds a Ph.D. in Research Psychology as well as her certification and licensing to practice Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr. Martha has more than 20 years of teaching and speaking experience and she has done extensive clinical research on this topic. Based on her clinical findings and her deep understanding of anatomy/physiology, she designed these cosmetic acupuncture protocols which give amazing results on a patient’s appearance and health.
Botox and fillers work immediately but they have long terms effects. They can damage the skin and produce discoloration and/or create pockets that uneven the face and neck. Gentle cosmetic acupuncture stimulates your body to produce collagen and fill the face and neck to restore the original shape of the face. Some patients do not desire to have fillers, Botox or any other in injections and they choose to age naturally and allow their own bodies to do the work.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a holistic therapy that helps by:
Softening wrinkles
Improving your jaw line
Reducing skin redness
Reducing and repairing ACNE sites by decreasing inflammation and increasing circulation in the area
Flushing water retention on the face and especially under the eyes and neck area
Opening sinuses; therefore, helping with allergies
Reducing and correcting the root cause of Rosacea
Reducing and eliminating Melasma (brown patches in the face due to digestive issues or hormone imbalances). Acupuncture and herbal medicine help with balancing hormones in a natural way
Note +If your body is ‘rejecting’ something, it will reflect in your skin’s health
Cosmetic acupuncture is a safe and healthy technique to maintain and get a more youthful appearance while correcting imbalances in the body. If you wish to age gracefully by using natural medicine and holistic procedures, this is the treatment you need! Feel free to send me your questions at acuford@gmail.com
