Facial rejuvenation
While average life span in developed countries is
exceeding 80 years, more and more people are looking for any possible means
to maintain young look. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a natural
procedure for enhancing a person's facial beauty by insertion of fine
acupuncture cosmetic pins into specific points on your face. It has been
used to reduce aging skin signs such as wrinkles and fine lines collecting
in the corners of your eyes and mouths due to age and sagging skin under
eyes and cheeks, restore skin texture and resting facial muscle tone, and
improve facial appearance.
This ancient cosmetic technique has been gaining popularity over the past two decades for its beauty-enhanced effects. You
should not be surprised if you see a swarm of acupuncturists in L.A Soho
House before a major Hollywood event. It becomes an alternative to conventional
cosmetic techniques if you are looking for safe, natural and effective treatment.
On top of cosmetic purpose, acupuncture is effective to treat many skin issues such as acne,
age-related brown spots, hormone-related skin change, eczema, dermatitis, etc.
How skin changes with aging
In order to succeed in facial rejuvenation, it is important to understand how skin changes with increasing age.
Starting in 30’s, collagen and elastin in skin are decreasing, the function of oil and lymphatic glands in skin is weakening,
skin cell turnovers are slower, melanocytes in skin are changing. The subtle changes result in thinner and duller skin,
wrinkles and fine lines, sagging cheeks, puffy eyes, age spots.
The aging skin process is affected by two factors: intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factor is a natural aging process everyone is going through, is your genetic makeup and is not able to be controlled. Extrinsic factors include your exposure to sun, nutrition, environmental toxin exposure, emotional state, lifestyle, hormonal balance, some illness and medications, etc.
