Acupuncture for Skin Rejuvenation

As well as being used to treat many health conditions, acupuncture can also be used as a skin rejuvenation treatment to help prevent and reduce the signs of aging.   Cosmetic acupuncture is much less invasive than many other techniques used to change the appearance of your skin.

As you age, there are many changes to your skin that occur.  When we reach our 30’s collagen and elastin production changes and is reduced overall.  This leads to looser, less firm skin and an increase in wrinkles.  During our 30’s and after, we can work to reduce the effects of aging on our skin by watching our diet, water intake and protecting our skin from the sun.  Cosmetic acupuncture is another tool we can use to help to delay the progression of the characteristics of aging skin.

With cosmetic acupuncture, a number of very small thin needles are placed just below the surface, at various acupuncture points located across your face.  Throughout the treatment they act to increase blood flow, and stimulate your skin, increasing the production of collagen and elastin, utilizing your body’s natural health and well-being to promote healthy skin and appearance.

Specifically you may notice:

• More radiant, beautiful skin
• Reduced signs of aging
• Fading age spots
• Smoother, softer skin
• Decrease in the appearance of puffiness and bags under the eyes
• Improved skin tone and elasticity
• improved circulation

This preventative therapy is a combination of Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupunture and mild electro-stimulation of the skin, followed by application of antioxidant serum and facial massage.

Cosmetic Acupuncture is available only at the Westbrook location of REP Physio (23 Fairway Drive NW). Please mention when booking that you are booking a cosmetic acupuncture treatment.
