How does Cosmetic Accupuncture work? scroll down to read FAQ's
Acupuncture, prevalently used around the world, influences the body’s energy (known as Qi) via the
insertion of extremely fine needles into specific points on the skin. Scientific evidence shows that acupuncture improves circulation of both blood and lymph and strengthens weakened muscles by
stimulating local nerve receptors. In terms of Cosmetic Acupuncture, these effects help to improve
luster by recruiting more blood to the face, clear skin conditions and swelling by draining the lymph
system of wastes and toxins, and soften wrinkles by increasing muscle tonicity and skin elasticity.
What should I expect from the treatments?
The benefits of Facial Acupuncture are:
• More radiant, youthful looing skin
• Minimization of fine lines
• Softening of deep wrinkles
• Increased collagen and elastin production
• Reduction of sagging facial muscles
• Less discoloration of skin from age spots, acne, or rosacea
• Reducation of scars
The benefits of Abdominal protocol are:
• Tightening of abdominal muscles
• Loss of inches around the waist
• Facilitates weight loss
• Improved digestion
• Increased libido
Cosmetic Acupuncture benefits the rejuvenation and revitalization of the entire body, helping youth
to be recaptured both inside and out. Because specific points are chosen based on individual needs,
clients often experience 'side effects' of improved digestion and vigor, more restful sleep, increased
mental clarity, reduction of hot flashes and headaches, and the reduction in symptoms of chronic
disease.
What can I expect during a treatment?
During the initial consultation and subsequent treatments, Fausta will make an assessment of the
client’s overall health and cater treatments to not only improve appearance but also to benefit health.
A few needles are inserted into the arms and legs, but the majority are inserted very superficially
into the face or abdomen. Needles are retained in the skin for approximately 20 minutes while the
client relaxes in a peaceful environment.
How many treatments do I need?
The full treatment course consists of 10 treatments over the span of 5 continuous weeks. Clients
can stop treatment at any time, but best results are achieved with compliance to the full course.
If you are receiving treatment only to enhance recovery from surgery or to treat facial paralysis, fewer treatments may suffice.
Who should receive Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Anyone eager to improve their overall appearance and care for their general well-being can benefit
from treatment. Common reasons people try Cosmetic Acupuncture are to:
• soften wrinkles and other unwanted signs of aging
• recover from facial paralysis and/or numbness
• enhance recovery from cosmetic surgeries
• shed unwanted inches from the waistline
Who should not receive Cosmetic Acupuncture?
If you are looking for dramatic results such as thicker lips, lifted eyebrows or a tummy tuck, you should probably consider other forms of treatment. If you are a smoker and choose to continue smoking, or if
you spend hours a day unprotected in the sun, results will be less dramatic and shorter lived. Pregnant women and those who suffer from seizures should not receive Cosmetic Acupuncture.
Are there any side effects of Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Usually the only side effects are beneficial, such as enhancement in overall vitality, improved digestion
and more restful sleep. Although rare, slight bruising may occur at needle sites for a day or two
following treatment. If you suffer from a bleeding disorder or are taking blood thinners, inform your practitioner so he/she can take necessary precautions. If you suffer from headaches or migraines,
early treatments may trigger a spell but most people find their spells lessen in intensity and frequency
with continued treatment.
Are results guaranteed?
Results from Cosmetic Acupuncture are based on individual clients and their willingness to participate
in beneficial lifestyle changes. Results often last from 3 to 5 years, but maintenance treatments are recommended a few times a year. A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture
stated that among 300 people treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 90 percent had marked effects
with only one course of treatment. Because of its effectiveness, Cosmetic Acupuncture has received
a great deal of attention in Hong Kong, Japan and Sweden, and is now gaining popularity throughout
North America and Europe.
