Cosmetic Acupuncture – Facial Rejuvenation

Cosmetic acupuncture facial rejuvenation is purported to improve skin and act as an anti-aging treatment in part by stimulating the production of collagen (a protein that acts as a major component of your skin). As you age, your skin’s inner layer loses collagen and, as a result, becomes less supple and firm. The needles disrupt skin tissue in the body to increase collagen and elastin production and stimulate blood flow. As such, an acupuncture facelift helps patients eliminate wrinkles, frown lines and other visible signs of aging in the face. The fundamental difference between Botox and cosmetic acupuncture is how Botox keeps your skin smooth by paralyzing underlying musculature while facial acupuncture improves complexion by triggering micro-trauma to the skin, resulting in firmer skin, reduction in wrinkles and tightening of jowls due to an increase in blood flow and production of collagen + elastin. Therefore, cosmetic acupuncture is completely safe during pregnancy.
