5 people asked me about “cosmetic acupuncture” in the two days.
Does it work:✅ Yes.
I had a patient in my clinical rotation whose eyelids were drooping over her eyelids and she was two months away from surgery. We began needling her and in 7 WEEKLY she had visible differences and was able to avoid surgery after the full 12 treatment protocol.
Does it hurt? 💆🏼♀️The needles are very thin and silicon coated and most people barely even feel them.
How many treatments do I need? Between 10-12 weekly treatments, and follow up maintenance every 4-8 weeks.
👇🏻Heres the things you need to remember if you are considering facial or cosmetic acupuncture:
⚠️You will need to commit to 10-12 consistent treatments weekly or twice a week will see results sooner.
Again, I can’t emphasize enough that the weekly treatments are pivotal to getting results. Lots of people think it’s okay to space the treatments out even a couple weeks. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work with facial acupuncture because it’s a cumulative treatment.
Aside from the cosmetic benefits, cosmetic acupuncture has a huge impact on the meridians that circulate through the face. I do it on myself with regular frequency and its one of the most powerful treatments. I highly recommend it for scar treatment and to even help with thinning hair.
All facial acupuncture is covered under our licensure as acupuncturists, so even though I have not completed the certificates to be specifically trained in the specialized techniques for cosmetic acupuncture, I am still able to do facial acupuncture, which is why you can see it in the photos above.
