Facial Acupuncture and Anti-Aging
Interested in looking younger and more radiant without having to do anything too invasive or toxic?
Aging is thought to happen when our cells are exposed to oxidative stress and free radicals. Naturopathic anti aging combines both external treatment through facial acupuncture (also referred to as cosmetic acupuncture) and internal treatment to give you the best results.
Facial Acupuncture or cosmetic acupuncture, is an effective way to help remove fine lines and wrinkles from the face. It can reduce the signs of aging, revitalize the skin and provide a more youthful look. Facial acupuncture increases circulation and stimulates collagen production resulting in a healthy, glowing complexion.
A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated in China with cosmetic facial acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. Effects included: improvement in skin texture and colouring, increased elasticity, reduction of wrinkles and overall rejuvenation, not merely confined to the face.

Treatment Recommendations
A course of treatment consists of 10-12 sessions done at least once a week to attain optimal results. Although some may notice a difference after even one or two sessions, effects are typically noticed after 5-6 sessions.
After the initial course of treatment, maintenance should be done approximately once every 4-6 weeks, depending on the individual.
Skin is a reflection of the body's internal health, so a full initial ND visit is completed to address all aspects of health and maximize results.
