Cosmetic Acupuncture
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
In 1996, the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that “among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 90% has marked effects with just one course of treatment.”
A Non-Surgical Face-Lift
Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical treatment that has been used for thousands of years to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and involves the insertion of very thin sterile, disposable needles into acupuncture points located on the face. Local circulation and collagen production is then stimulated; resulting is a healthy, glowing, more radiant complexion.
NO pain, NO side effects, NO down time and NO risk of disfigurement or scarring.
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to effectively treat many conditions and illnesses as well as preventing disease. Acupuncture helps to balance the energy levels within the body and removes blockages in the meridians (channels of blood and vital energy).
Cosmetic Acupuncture has gained popularity in the last few years especially in New York City and Hollywood. It was previously a beauty secret for the rich and famous. Now, everyone can benefit.
