Cosmetic Acupuncture Facial in Solana Beach
Cosmetic Acupuncture
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the face and body. Needles are strategically placed on the face to stimulate blood circulation, encourage collagen production, and promote muscle tone in the face. Cosmetic acupuncture treatments can help reduce the signs of aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Cosmetic Acupuncture Facial with Dr. Ana
Dr. Ana offers a luxurious 75 minute cosmetic acupuncture facial treatment that is infused with a combination of Chinese herbal medicine techniques. The first part of the treatment starts off with a soothing cleansing and massaging of the face using a sustainably made signature Chinese herbal cleanser. Face and body acupuncture points are then placed on the patient, allowing them to rest for 30-40 minutes, and the treatment will then end with a calming sequence of facial cupping and gua sha, leaving the patient feeling renewed and refreshed
The goal of Cosmetic Acupuncture
The goal of cosmetic acupuncture is to create long term and lasting change in the overall health of the patient’s skin and body by addressing the patient as a whole. This is just one of the main differences between cosmetic acupuncture and botox, though the results are not as stark as botox, this approach is looking to create lasting change and to encourage patients to embrace aging with confidence.
