cosmetic acupuncture
Best for facial rejuvenation, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, rosacea, Bell’s Palsy, eczema, psoriasis, and more.
Acupuncture regulates the autonomic nervous system, promoting natural relaxation and healing of the body, mind and spirit. During sessions, the body is induced into relaxation to reduce the physiological effects of stress and elevated cortisol levels. At Nu Wave Acupuncture, sessions may include facial cupping, facial gua sha, red light therapy, and aromatherapy. This allows for detoxification, regeneration of collagen, and a reduction in inflammation. Common conditions include acne scarring, rosacea, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, bell’s palsy, and more. For more on dermatological issues effecting the face, see ‘Digestion and Skin Health’.
*Cosmetic acupuncture provides various benefits for the skin and appearance, including:
Improved Skin Texture: improves blood circulation and stimulates collagen production, which could lead to smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
Wrinkle Reduction: reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen and elastin production, which are essential for skin elasticity.
Facial Rejuvenation: natural alternative to more invasive cosmetic procedures, such as Botox or facelifts, for achieving a refreshed and revitalized appearance.
Stress Reduction: stress reduction can contribute to improved skin health and a more youthful appearance.
Acne and Skin Conditions: promotes overall balance within the body and targets specific points and areas for scarring or redness.
*Cosmetic acupuncture for the face is available as an add-on service when booking.
