COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE

What is cosmetic acupuncture?

Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective, anti-aging treatment to reduce the signs of aging. Unlike other popular cosmetic treatments like botox, peeling agents, fat transfer or thread lifting, cosmetic acupuncture does not require the injection of foreign substances into the skin. Cosmetic Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin disposable needles into the acupuncture points in the 12 meridian systems in the face and other part of the body. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine (TCM), which stresses “health inside makes beauty outside.”  It stimulates our own body’s reaction to induce changes that are natural and do not appear artificial.
