Patients who are seeking facial acupuncture, acupuncture facelift or cosmetic acupuncture have many concerns.  These include facial asymmetry, cheek sagging, jawline, nasolabial (laugh lines) fold length, discrepancies in jawline between the left and the right sides, wrinkles around the mouth, and discrepancies in the corners of the mouth. Ultimately, patients are seeking the brighter and natural glow instead of a “greyish color” of the signs of aging. The good news is facial acupuncture is a simple concept that can help all the above! And it has holistic benefits. So you will experience improved physical, mental, emotional, social, and perhaps even spiritual well-being afterwards.  This is due to facial acupuncture treating your whole person rather than only the symptoms. Chiropractor West Palm Beach: Achieve A Brighter and Natural Glow Through Facial Acupuncture is about all of this. 

How does Facial Acupuncture Give You a Brighter and Natural Glowing Face?

Acupuncture consists of the insertion of one or several very thin metal needles into the skin and underlying tissues.  Because the sterile needles are so slender (hair thin) application is painless.  And or at most, the equivalent of the most slightest prick.  As mentioned previously, Acupuncture has been used safely and effectively for thousands of years. Additionally, the World Health Organization has established guidelines for practice.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Qi is the vital energy or life energy. It is one of the fundamental concepts of TCM.  In Chinese philosophy, Qi is a broad concept meaning the invisible force that animates life and connects everything in the universe, encompassing both material and immaterial energy.  In the human body, Qi is the vital energy believed to circulate around the body in currents.

By starting with the different facial acupuncture points, certain results can be achieved by their application to the skin.  The facial needles generate a lot of Qi and this is circulated throughout the face.  Moreover, the increase in Qi results in improvement in the complexion and in reducing open pores.  Indeed, the improved Qi energy and blood flow that needling to the face promotes leads to improvement to your complexion.

Chiropractor West Palm Beach: Constitutional Acupuncture Treatment

Firstly, a constitutional treatment (whole body) maybe recommended along with the facial enhancement/cosmetic treatment.  Also, by utilizing body points along with facial points, “balance and grounding” is achieved.  By the process of identifying the specific pattern of disharmony or imbalance in the body as well as the face, a more holistic and appropriate treatment is achieved. Your treatment will include local needling into your areas of concern on your face. And then needling throughout your body to promote overall well being and address your unique constitution.  

Secondly, the constitutional treatment would help eliminate unnecessary toxins that have built up. A buildup of toxins can cause various skin problems. These can include a dull complexion, breakouts, increased oiliness or dryness, and chronic issues like eczema or premature aging. 

Thirdly, indeed facial/cosmetic acupuncture alone is relaxing.  However, having a constitutional treatment alleviates pain and stress.  Stress can cause or worsen skin and facial pain by increasing stress hormones such as cortisol.  Therefore, this leads to oilier skin, inflammation, and conditions like acne and rosacea.

Maintaining a balance between oil and water content in your skin is vital for a brighter complexion. However, aging, lifestyle, and environmental factors can disrupt this balance.  This may lead to skin dullness and premature aging. Many seek natural, non-invasive interventions like cosmetic acupuncture.

In studies, Cosmetic acupuncture has shown to increase blood flow and hydration. Participants had reductions in wrinkles and sagging and improvement in skin conditions.

In  other studies (1) they found Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture effectively improves skin hydration and oil balance, offering a non-invasive solution for skin health. Mechanisms potentially underlying these effects include enhanced collagen synthesis and lymphatic drainage, and skin hydrating mechanisms in the body being activated.
