Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective way to remove fine lines and wrinkles from the face.
It can reduce the signs of aging by revitalizing the skin and providing a more youthful look to the face.
Cosmetic Acupuncture will also help to rejuvenate facial tissue by increasing circulation to the area, and stimulating collagen production, resulting in a healthy glowing complexion.
The skin becomes nourished, oxygenated and moisturized, from the inside out.
When there is more circulation, the body produces more collagen and this, in turn gives the skin more tightness and elasticity, helping to reduce and/or eliminate sagging skin, wrinkles, double chin etc...
It is based on the ancient principles of Chinese Medicine and has been used for over 3,000 years.
The real advantage to Cosmetic Acupuncture is that there is no risk involved, no downtime from work, and no side affects.
By also using acupuncture points on the body, the circulation of blood and energy will be enhanced, thus promoting overall health and well being.

Non-Needle Treatments
In addition to acupuncture, and herbology, cupping therapy has been part of Chinese medicine for over 2,500 years. Originally, animal horn was used for cupping, later on brass, ceramic, and bamboo cups were used. Today, we use glass cups in a variety of different sizes.
Cupping is like a very deep tissue massage.
The practitioner applies heat in a cup and then applies that cup to the body, most commonly on the back. The heat creates a vacuum effect and draws the skin up into the cup. The result is a movement of fresh blood to the area, release of toxins, acupuncture point stimulation, increased circulation of blood and lymph, relaxation of tight muscles, and reduced inflammation.
Cupping does leave noticeable marks similar to a bruise or hickey that is sometimes referred to as
"cup kisses" (see BBC article from Friday, 9 July, 2004). Although they can look alarming, they are not painful and will disappear on their own within 3-7 days.
Most commonly, it's used for aches and pains of various types including low back and leg pain, neck and shoulder tension, and fibromyalgia. It also helps open up the chest and benefits the lungs to treat respiratory problems such as cough, bronchitis, asthma, and the like. It and can even benefit menstrual problems and digestive problems including stomach aches, vomiting, and diarrhea.
