Anti-aging acupuncture creates beautifying benefits over time. Lifting, smoothing, reducing lines, puffiness or dryness, and balancing complexions are always our goals!
Adding to this, body acupuncture given alongside facial treatments are working deeper than the skin to promote beauty indirectly. Acupuncture calms the sympathetic (fight and flight/dysregulated) nervous system during facial treatments. This is supportive as:
Feeling calmer aids in managing brow furrows and forehead lines.
A calm nervous system enables quality sleep – a ancient beauty secret of traditional cultures.
Acupuncture for stress management assists the hypothalamus (nervous system-glandular interface within the brain) to promote healthy hormonal function via the HPA and HPO axis.
Stress reduction benefits immune and gut health to promote vital looking skin.
Lowering stress fosters diaphragmatic breathing to oxygenate blood and skin.
How does FCA support natural beauty?
Your acupuncturist will asses your face and whole body for areas that need support, understanding that one foundation of natural facial beauty, is whole-body wellness. Facial cosmetic acupuncture:
Stimulates fibroblast activity to initiate collagen induction
Balances facial muscle tone to support lift, contour, and improve skin elasticity
Reduces dryness by increasing water and oil content in the skin
Softens and minimises fine lines and furrows
Evens out complexion
Causes subcision (leveling out) of sunken acne or other scars
Body, mind and face
In facial acupuncture we aim to improve beauty on the inside to level-up that glowing complexion on the outside! Working to support gut health, hormone balance, and soothing stressed hearts. Cosmetic acupuncture is for the love of body, mind, and face!
Like many good things, facial cosmetic acupuncture takes time to get great results.
People can notice changes early on, but for optimal results with longer lasting outcomes, a course of 10 treatments is recommended and is advised taken at weekly intervals. After this, coming in regularly or semi-regularly for a treatment helps to hold on to the benefits longer.
For some people’s, after around 24 months a further short course is recommended to work again deeply into any face tensions and lines.
Will facial acupuncture hurt?
Facial Cosmetic and anti-aging acupuncture is overall a very relaxing experience.
There can be noticeable sensations as some needles are placed, and also no sensation with others
It surprises women how little pain they experience and that they leave feeling relaxed and deeply calm. This, of course, plays out in great ways throughout their week, and they look forward to their next, much-needed wind down on the acupuncture table.
