Cosmetic Acupuncture for Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Cosmetic acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the face and body to improve appearance. It has been used for centuries to treat a variety of skin conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles.

How Cosmetic Acupuncture Works

Cosmetic acupuncture is thought to work by increasing blood flow and collagen production in the skin. It may also help to relax facial muscles and reduce inflammation.

Clinical Studies on Cosmetic Acupuncture for Fine Lines and Wrinkles

A number of clinical studies have investigated the effects of cosmetic acupuncture on fine lines and wrinkles. One study, published in the journal Dermatology and Therapy in 2018, found that facial acupuncture significantly reduced the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth in women aged 35 to 55.

Another study, published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2017, found that facial acupuncture improved skin elasticity and reduced the appearance of wrinkles in women aged 40 to 59.

A third study, published in the journal Skin Research and Technology in 2016, found that facial acupuncture combined with microcurrent therapy was more effective than microcurrent therapy alone in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving skin texture.

Possible Effects of Cosmetic Acupuncture on Fine Lines and Wrinkles

The following are some of the possible effects of cosmetic acupuncture on fine lines and wrinkles:

  • Reduced appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
  • Improved skin elasticity
  • Smoother skin texture
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Reduced puffiness and swelling
  • Brighter complexion
  • Lifted eyelids
  • Reduced jowls

How Often Should You Get Cosmetic Acupuncture for Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

Most experts recommend getting cosmetic acupuncture treatments once or twice a week for several weeks to see the best results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can switch to maintenance treatments every few weeks or months.

Is Cosmetic Acupuncture Safe?

Cosmetic acupuncture is generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. However, there are some potential side effects, such as bruising, bleeding, and infection. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of cosmetic acupuncture with your practitioner before starting treatment.

It is important to note that the results of clinical studies on cosmetic acupuncture vary. Some people may see significant results after just a few treatments, while others may need more treatments or may not see any results at all. It is also important to note that cosmetic acupuncture is not a replacement for other anti-aging treatments, such as sunscreen and moisturizer.

 

 

 

Having seen an advert for Lucy, and plucking up the courage to make the first appointment, I am so pleased I did. Lucy put me at ease straight away and explained clearly what was happening.
I had facial acupuncture and can honestly say my skin hasn’t looked this clear and bright for a long time. Had comments as to how well I looked.  I have cheek bones again!!! The lines around my eyes, nose and mouth are also vastly improved.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lucy for this treatment, and if need any other treatment. She’s lovely. Becki P
