The Guide For Glow Getters (PART 1)
Hello Glow Getters!! In this blog 2 part blog series it will provide you with more information on facial acupunture. Also there are answers to common questions that we have heard over the years about facial acupunture.
I’m Vanessa Ho, L.Ac. a licensed acupuncturist at Healing with Zen who is passionate about skin health and making sure patients feel beautiful naturally! I’ve always suffered from tired, dull, and acne prone skin for many years. As a result, I’ve tried facials and products to help get that youthful glow back. It wasn’t until I started facial acupuncture and taking herbs that my skin bounced back (quite literally). This really ignited my passion for dermatology and thus my specialty in acupuncture. I hope after reading this blog you may better understand how this ancient and effective practice really brings on the glow from inside out!
What Is Facial Acupuncture?
Facial acupuncture is the use of Hair-thin needles that are gently inserted into specific points on the face. In order, to facilitate the movement of blood and boost collagen production. The needles are gently stimulated, which activates the production of collagen in the skin, improves skin elasticity, tones facial muscles, and reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles and sunspots while rejuvenating the skin giving a lit from within glow.
What Can It Help With?
Cosmetic acupuncture focuses on reducing:
- Thin and deep wrinkles
- Sunspots
- Scars
- Droopy eyelids
- Double chin
- Sagging jowls
- Imbalanced skin tone.
What Is The Difference Of The Effects Of Botox Versus This Natural Alternative?
While Botox results last for 3-6 months, and takes 5-7 days to see the results. Facial acupuncture really works to aid your body along to create its own natural collagen. Thus, it can create long term effects. Usually it will take from 8-10 treatment sessions ranging from once or twice a week to see more results. However, these results last longer and create much more natural looking youthful skin.
How Is It Different Than Other Cosmetic Procedure Options?
To put it simply, there is no downtime in terms of waiting for your effects to show through. In addition, with procedures like Botox and chemical peels or laser treatments, there are oftentimes side effects. Such as swelling, bruising, or allergic reactions. Facial Acupuncture really works with your body to encourage it to naturally heal itself. In addition to promote it produce its own rejuvenated look. It is gentle and the effects are long lasting as the collagen being produced is from your own body.
