Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture in San Rafael, Marin County
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process. Cosmetic, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and Facial Acupuncture can sometimes be referred to as an Acupuncture Facelift, it is more than just a cosmetic procedure. It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help the whole body look and feel younger.
The Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment is based on the principles of Oriental Medicine and involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into particular areas of the face, ears, neck, hands, trunk, and legs along channels or meridians of energy called Qi. Specific points are chosen to manipulate the movement of energy in the body according to the individual's needs. Thousands of years ago the Chinese discovered that many meridians either begin or end on the face while some have internal branches that go to the face. Thus, practitioners of Cosmetic Acupuncture, Facial Rejuvenation and Mei Zen Acupuncture know how to specifically effect the face while simultaneously treating the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process.
Facial Acupuncture may erase as many as five to fifteen years from the face, with results apparent after just a few treatments. Fine lines may be entirely eliminated and deeper wrinkles diminished. Bags under the eyes can be reduced, jowls firmed, puffiness eliminated, droopy eyelids lifted and double chins minimized. Other likely results include: moisturizing of the skin with increased local circulation of blood and lymph to the face; increased collagen production, muscle tone, and dermal contraction; tightening of the pores; brightening of the eyes; improving of hormonal balance to help acne; reduction of stress evident in the face – bringing out the innate Beauty and Radiance of an individual.

How Does Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture Work?
Aside from the TCM perspectives on Facial Acupuncture, there is a firm scientific process that contributes to the efficacy of the procedure, involving the stimulation of fibroblast cells to produce collagen, elastin and other natural by-products which enhance the appearance of the skin. Facial acupuncture works on a multitude of levels, addressing the whole body and person is the #1 priority as this contributes to eliminating the core causes of the appearance of premature aging. It also addresses the musculature of the face - helping some muscles to relax while stimulating others to engage which helps to soften some wrinkles and also lift sagging skin. Overall the treatment addresses the underlying constitution and health of the patient which results in improved blood flow, lymphatic drainage, release of stress, improved sleep and digestion and relieves pain - all of which play a crucial role in how our faces appear on the outside. Cosmetic facial acupuncture is also minimally invasive and this helps us preserve the dermal papillae layer of the skin - meaning it's a great treatment for long term that won't damage the skin structure.
