Cosmetic acupuncture stimulates your natural collagen production. You don’t need fillers or toxins so there is no risk of adverse affects.
Our food and lifestyle habits are learnt behaviours influenced by family, friends and unfortunately corporate marketing. We become attached to these behaviours as they require little effort, seem convenient, fulfill other emotional needs or help you cope with the stress of life.
For the vast majority of people, it’s their daily habits (not some outside threat) that will be the undoing of their health freedom, stop them realising their potential, lead to chronic ill health and eventually cause their death (most people will die from either heart disease or cancer – both caused by diet and environmental toxicity).
Health coaching gives you the knowledge, support and mindset to realise your health potential.
It may include functional pathology tests to identify or quantify exactly what’s undermining your health or causing your symptoms. These tests include food intolerance testing, hormonal testing, parasite and microbiome stool tests and toxicity testing.
Your coach will work with your practitioner to help inform and guide you to make diet and lifestyle changes easy. So that you have the knowledge and motivation to keep yourself out of the sickness industry.
Cosmetic acupuncture incorporates traditional acupuncture, along with facial gua sha, plum blossom needling and facial cupping (using specialised facial cups). Facial gua sha uses slow, hypnotic strokes to move lymph and increase blood flow, helping the body to clear toxins and improve the function of the immune system. By stimulating the subdermal fascia, facial gua sha activates and promotes tissue healing and helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles. A course of treatment involves using all these techniques which build upon each other to achieve effective results.
By inserting very fine, hair-like needles into the face, neck, hands and legs along meridians of energy, many of which either begin or end on the face, the body’s Qi is strengthened to achieve harmony and balance which is reflected in the complexion.
When these fine acupuncture needles are inserted, they create a small micro-trauma to the skin epidermis, initiating the body’s healing response which triggers collagen and elastin production. When the body lays down collagen around the wrinkles, it gives the effect of filling them in. This process continues to occur long after the needles have been removed and builds the skin’s elasticity resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to improve health and wellbeing with scientific research to back it up. Specifically, cosmetic acupuncture has been shown to:
A course of treatment is generally done over 2 x 6 week blocks, as the face and body need this time to repair and regenerate while laying down collagen. After 12 sessions, you should be able to maintain results with a treatment once a month to prolong the results over time.
