Microneedling and Acupuncture are the Perfect Pair
When you look in the mirror, do you find yourself scrutinizing the look of your skin? Are you finding yourself less than happy about the ever-increasing fine lines and wrinkles there? Maybe you are longing for the fullness of your cheeks and tightness of your jawline that used to be there, but now are sagging a bit. The process of aging can be no fun, as we all want that youthful glow that we used to just wake up with.
There is good news though. You do not have to go through risky, painful, and expensive cosmetic surgery to tighten and firm the skin on your face and neck. Today, we are going to talk about skincare services that have their roots in ancient traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). These methods of treatment have been around for many years and have repeatedly been shown to be highly effective. Welcome to the world of microneedling and acupuncture, a holistic facial rejuvenation and wellness approach that can yield the results you are looking for. First, let's take a look at what each of these treatments is all about.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling can also be found under the more modern names of Percutaneous Collagen Induction or Collagen Induction Therapy. This technique has repeatedly been proven to maintain more youthful skin by mitigating the signs of early aging. Microneedling does this by improving the texture of the skin on your face, as well as lifting and tightening the skin. Another benefit that proponents of this treatment share are that it greatly reduces the size of facial pores and reduces scarring that may have occurred due to acne or other skin conditions.
While acupuncture uses single, very fine needles inserted one at a time, microneedling utilizes a micro pen with multiple fine needles to create hundreds of tiny puncture points called microtraumas. The body then immediately gets to work repairing these microscopic areas of trauma. When you add microneedling into your beauty regimen, you should see amazing results.
FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
Facial acupuncture is a holistic facial rejuvenation treatment that is considered by practitioners to be a safer and more affordable alternative to some anti-aging treatments. This extension of traditional acupuncture and oriental medicine naturally stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems, improving nutrient and oxygen delivery to your skin. This in turn evens out the complexion and helps you to get your glow on. The positive microtraumas to the skin of the face stimulate collagen production, giving your skin greater elasticity and allows you to say farewell to fine lines and wrinkles.
A PERFECT PAIR
As a practitioner who focuses on whole-body wellness, I am thrilled to add the service of microneedling to the menu of holistic facial rejuvenation treatments I offer. While microneedling can be a stand-alone treatment, I combine it with acupuncture of the body to give clients a full-body wellness experience. The treatment of microneedling has many parallels to acupuncture.
For example, both use the concept of fine needle insertions to stimulate the body’s healing responses. Microneedling traditionally targets the condition and appearance of the skin, whereas acupuncture tends to focus more on balancing the systems of the body as a whole. Acupuncturists have the training and knowledge base to provide the most effective microneedling treatments to give you glowing skin. By combining your facial microneedling session with body acupuncture, you will leave feeling and looking your absolute best.
HOW IT WORKS
When you go for your series of acupuncture and miconeedling sessions, you can expect a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Your acupuncturist will strategically place ultra-fine needles into the skin in predetermined locations to first help you achieve entire body homeostasis. Next, facial microneedling will be performed and skin-replenishing serums will be applied using ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Apple Stem cells. You will leave with self-care instructions to optimize the results of your treatment.
