Nasolabial smile lines, forehead lines, “eleven” lines, crows feet, sagging jowls, asymmetry, dull complexion, poor circulation in face, improving plum & glow overall.
What does it do – and how?
Facial rejuvenation cosmetic acupuncture targets areas of your face to improve radiance, skin health and muscle tone. The effects of this treatment are mostly due to the stimulation of collagen production, improved circulation and blood flow & toning facial muscles.
The sessions also help to bring the nutrients and oxygen to your skin that it needs to create a visible, plumped, youthful glow! We also include other indicated points on your body during your session, which addresses internal influences on your skin, and body system health.
This treatment also addresses your nervous system, decreasing your sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) and allowing your parasympathetic system to do its job (rest & digest). Your body only heals when it’s in a parasympathetic state – so this is where we should aim to be as much as possible! This treatment does just that.
What to expect during your treatment
For 60 minutes, you will be tucked into a heated massage table, fully supported by pillows and props as needed to achieve the ultimate comfortable position (think, “the coziest nest ever”), while your Naturopathic Doctor executes this relaxing treatment. The appointment begins with a facial massage, with cupping to encourage blood flow, and a scalp massage. Tiny intradermal needles are inserted into fine lines & wrinkles, and delicate facial acupuncture needles are placed in different TCM points on your face. Some other points on your body are included as indicated, often arms, hands and feet. Enjoy red a light therapy while the acupuncture needles work their magic, and relax while listening to a guided medication or soft music (your choice).
The session is completed with cooling guasha treatments and jade rolling – and of course – don’t forget the hot towels!
Who is this treatment for?
Anyone who wants to address wrinkles, complexion & skin health, naturally! This treatment is a great alternative to medical cosmetic treatments to achieve a youthful glow and plump, healthy looking skin!
