Cosmetic Acupuncture
Facial Acupuncture & Microneedling
Let's embark on a rejuvenating journey into the realm of facial acupuncture and microneedling, where the timeless wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) intersects with the modern quest for anti-aging solutions. As a skin-focused acupuncturist embracing the beauty of this holistic approach, I am thrilled to explore the abundant benefits these techniques offer for achieving youthful, radiant skin.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation, also known as cosmetic acupuncture, is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of acupuncture to enhance natural beauty. By strategically inserting fine needles into specific acupoints on the face, we stimulate collagen production, improve blood circulation, and promote the flow of Qi (life force energy). This rejuvenates the skin from within, reducing fine lines, diminishing wrinkles, and restoring the skin's elasticity. Beyond its cosmetic effects, facial acupuncture nurtures the mind-body connection, providing a sense of tranquility and relaxation that radiates through the face, revealing a revitalized and youthful glow.
Microneedling
Microneedling, is a cutting-edge technique that complements facial acupuncture in the pursuit of age-defying results. This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of a motorized dermapen, which creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin's surface. As the skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin, resulting in improved texture, minimized fine lines and wrinkles, reduced scarring and hyperpigmentation, and a more even complexion. By combining microneedling with the wisdom of TCM, we can customize treatments to address individual skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, melasma, large pores and sun damage.
Cosmetic Acupuncture Facials at Jade Path Studio
At Jade Path Studio, we offer two cosmetic acupuncture treatments: Facial Rejuvenation and Microneedling
Both treatments include a luxurious process of both innovative and traditional therapies like facial massage, cupping and low level light therapy.
Facial Rejuvenation
Combining modern and traditional modalities, this treatment cleanses and nourishes skin deeply beyond the surface to nourish, hydrate, balance, tone, and tighten. After steaming and cleansing the skin, the skin is rejuvenated with massage, guasha, cupping, acupuncture and LED therapy.
Microneedling Facial
The Microneedling Facial is designed for dramatic collagen induction. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that is used to treat skin concerns such as scarring, stretch marks, aging skin, and sunspots via increased collagen production. After a steaming and cleansing, rich Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serums coat the skin to lubricate and penetrate deeply beyond the surface with microneedling. This facial requires minimal downtime.
Techniques and Theory
TCM techniques for facial rejuvenation are safe, non-invasive, non-toxic, have minimal-to-no side effects, and require no recovery time in comparison to chemical peels, face lifts, and injections.
TCM theory behind aging skin revolves around two concepts: vital substances of qi and blood naturally decrease with age. When qi and blood are abundant and move smoothly, the skin will be nourished and look radiant. Radiant skin and eyes is a sign of good shen, spirit, in Chinese medicine. When qi and blood diminish with age, priority for distribution of these vital substances goes to the internal organs, leaving the skin undernourished.
The TCM modalities used for facial rejuvenation are focused on increasing circulation of qi and blood to the face to include the following results:
Creates naturally bright and radiant skin
Increases collagen production and elasticity
Reduces larger wrinkles and eliminates fine lines
Correct hyper-pigmentation and sun-damage
Tightens skin pores
Resurfaces uneven tones and textures
Plump, lift, and tone
Balance sebum production to mitigate breakouts
Improved sleep and relaxation
I recently had my first microneedling facial with Lee and it was amazing!
