Cosmetic acupuncture involves inserting 120 to 150 tiny needles, mainly on face. As the needles puncture the skin, they create wounds within its threshold, which are called positive microtraumas. These positive microtraumas stimulate lymphatic and circulatory system, which work together to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, nourishing skin from the inside out. This helps even out the skin complexion and promote glowing skin. The positive microtraumas also stimulates the production of collagen. This helps improve elasticity, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles to get bright, anti-aging results.
If you have had laser or any abrasive facial procedures done, it is best to wait a few weeks to let the skin heal before trying facial acupuncture. Not recommended for diabetics and pregnant women.
