What is cosmetic acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture is a treatment that involves inserting needles into specific parts of the face and body in order to improve blood and lymph flow, enhance skin tone and elasticity, and alleviate skin problems such as wrinkles and sagging skin.

What are the benefits?

 

■ Small face effect

Swelling can be improved by expelling excess fluid and waste products from the face and neck through the lymph nodes.

In addition, by stimulating the facial skin and muscles, it lifts and tightens the entire face, giving the appearance of a smaller face.

■ Improves acne and rough skin

By inserting acupuncture needles into the skin, blood flow is promoted, delivering the nutrients and oxygen needed by skin cells and expelling waste products, activating skin turnover.

When skin turnover is activated, old dead skin cells and sebum are also expelled, which can help prevent skin problems such as clogged pores.

■ Improves the immune function of the skin

Cosmetic acupuncture is said to have the effect of improving immune function. By increasing the skin's resistance, it is expected to protect the skin from external stimuli such as viruses.

Who is it suitable for?

Cosmetic acupuncture is suitable for those who want to keep their skin healthy from the inside out.
