Cosmetic Acupuncture Is Excellent For Facial Rejuvenation

Although it may be something of a new miracle for us there are records of cosmetic acupuncture being used for thousands of years. At one time it was a closely guarded beauty secret of many affluent women in ancient China. However, it became a bit of a lost art until the 1970’s when it received official recognition in modern day China.

Until recent times this form of acupuncture continued to be a well-hidden secret that was used for years by the rich and famous Hollywood-ites. Now it is becoming more popular and well known, due to some celebrities that have acted as advocates for the success of this technique.

What exactly is cosmetic acupuncture?

Not every acupuncturist will delve into the field of acupuncture, as it is a highly specialized field that is specifically aimed at improving the appearance of the skin naturally.

Cosmetic acupuncture can also involve Chinese herbal medicines, Chinese dietary therapy and even Tui-na, meaning acupuncture massage in order to obtain a more youthful appearance. Because we are all different, the treatments are not the same from one person to another. Each person is specifically diagnosed according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is done via the tongue, pulse, individual facial diagnosis, as well as talking with the patient.

Not only does your face tell a lot about your personality type and what kind of mood you are in, but also the state of your health and vitality is reflected in your face and complexion.

When a facial diagnosis is done the acupuncturist is looking for tone, discolored areas, you complexion color, blemishes, fine lines and moles and other things. These are the mirrors to your individual organs and they are trained to understand and know by looking at these areas if you have difficulties with any of your internal organs that need to be addressed.

Treatments can be started at any age. However some acupuncturists feel for the best and most lasting effects it is good to begin in your late 20’s, or early 30’s; where others feel that you do not need to begin until you are in your 40’s or even older. In fact the choice is yours as to when you want to begin cosmetic acupuncture.

There are no negative side effects to cosmetic acupuncture, however it is common for the face to appear flushed for a few hours and there may be some slight painless bruising that will subside quickly. For the most part you will find that you are feeling very relaxed, peaceful and even euphoric after a treatment and are looking forward to the next scheduled treatment.
