Cosmetic Acupuncture also known as Facial Rejuvenation is a safe, gentle and natural anti-aging practice to enhance beauty and wellbeing. The treatment is used to soften lines and wrinkles, lift sagging, increase firmness and tone in the face and bring to your face circulation for that bright, even and glowing skin that everyone dreams of having. It also addresses your health and the whole body, so problem skin and Acne can be eliminated. Although it may sound like a relatively new idea, Cosmetic Acupuncture is supported by almost 5000 years of documentation and has since then been refined and developed.
While most information surrounding the effectiveness of the procedure is anecdotal, one 1996 study published in the International Journal of Acupuncture said that, of 300 patients surveyed, 90 percent said they saw a lessening of lines, clearer skin tone and subtle tightening.
