What Is Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture is an ancient beauty secret and is used as a non-toxic way to minimize fine lines and wrinkles from the face. It reduces the signs of aging by rejuvenating the glow of the skin and providing a youthful look to the face. Cosmetic acupuncture needles create tiny micro-trauma stimulation to areas of facial tissue by increasing the circulation of blood flow to the wrinkles and thus producing more collagen production, resulting in less wrinkle formation. Cosmetic acupuncture is an ancient healing art that has been practiced in China for emperors and empresses as a beauty ritual for at least 5,000 thousand years. The treatment involves inserting thin needles into the face and body in order to increase the blood circulation and collagen production within the skin. This allows the skin to be nourished, oxygenated and moisturized from the inside out. Additionally, the increased production of collagen gives the skin more tightness and elasticity. Hence, the treatment improves the complexion, elasticity, and youthfulness of the skin. It is currently all the rage among Hollywood’s elite, and its popularity is understandable. It promises a more youthful appearance with no downtime, no anesthesia, no chemicals injected and no going under the knife.

Does It Hurt?

The most popular question asked of this treatment is the pain level. It is assumed by most that the pain is excessive due to the thought that the needles are the same as the ones used to draw blood at the doctor’s office. The needles used in cosmetic acupuncture are nothing like these. They are about the width of a thread and like a horse hair. Since they are so tiny and thin, they are not felt by the patient. In fact, 41 acupuncture needles can easily fit into the needle used by a doctor. Of course, the skill of the acupuncturist is important. Romy Simone has refined her painless technique by spending many years of training in the field.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Cosmetic acupuncture does not have any side effects because it is natural and uses no fillers or chemicals. There is no downtime, no puffiness, no swelling, no drugs, no allergic skin reactions and no injections. Other treatments to reduce wrinkles, such as fillers, surgery, chemical peels and laser treatments sometimes do have side effects.

Why Choose Cosmetic Acupuncture Over Other Treatments?

Safety of your body is the most important reason. With cosmetic surgery, many risks are involved such as anesthesia complications, a long recovery with a lot of discomfort, nerve damage to the face, allergic reactions to the drugs and scarring. With fillers, some of the risks may include, puffiness, swelling, bruising, bed rest, allergic reaction and possibly paralysis of surrounding nerves, which impair natural facial expressions. The same may hold true with chemical peels and laser treatments. Also,cost is a large factor to consider, with surgery starting in the $30,000′s, fillers in the $10,000 over a few years and the same with expensive peels and lasers that have to be done all the time. With Cosmetic acupuncture your health is never at risk and the cost is minimal in the long run since you will not have to keep repeating treatments years on end. Lastly you will never have to worry about the long term effects that are not known yet from injecting your face with chemical fillers.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

A general course of 10 treatments is done per area of the face. Usually after a few treatments a patient notices some changes. Around the 7th or 8th treatment, the collagen starts to kick in and wrinkles are minimized. After this, a maintenance of one treatment a week to month is done depending on the age of the patient.

Will It Affect My Current Botox Treatments?
