How Does Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture Works?

​

The well-known benefits of acupuncture treatment are enhancing muscle strength and improving body energy (Qi) and blood flow, which is responsible for overall well-being. Facial cosmetic acupuncture adopts similar concepts and shares the general treatment effectiveness of acupuncture but focuses more on the skin and muscles of the face and neck. In addition, acupuncture needling creates micro-puncture on the skin and its associated deep tissues, causing positive microtrauma. It will promote Qi (energy) and blood flow in the local area, which means stimulating our body's circulatory and lymphatic systems and encouraging collagen synthesis. These positive effects bring revitalization of muscles and skin of the face and neck.

It also relieves tension and pain, and strengthens facial muscles, resulting in helping to treat issues on the face, such as Bell's palsy and TMJ. However, if your concern is more on the actual facial treatment, we recommend regular acupuncture treatment for better outcomes.
