"Cosmetic Acupuncture is great for reducing the signs of aging, while also improving overall health. Unfortunately, aging is a natural and inevitable process of the body, but why not help slow and/or reverse this process?"

 

 

Need an excuse for a little bit of me time?  want something that may benefit health and beauty simultaneously? Even better, the treatment occurs while you relax on the bed.

​

Northwood Clinic performs a professional and effective form of Cosmetic Acupuncture known as Constitutional Facial Acupuncture in Sydney. This form of Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural, effective and relaxing addition to any beauty routine. It is somewhat similar to getting a facial with a few key differences. It also offers a safer, pain free and natural alternative to botox and dermal fillers, at a much cheaper price!

 

The face often mirrors the bodies internal environment, it may reflect emotional or physical issues which may otherwise go unnoticed. Cosmetic Acupuncture offers its clients a diagnosis and a treatment method which may help resolve these underlying health concerns and provide natural facial rejuvenation using the bodies own natural healing abilities!

Definition of Constitutional Facial Acupuncture

​

Is a full constitutional treatment that views the face as an extension of the meridians of the entire body, which flows from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head. It draws upon Ancient Chinese wisdom related to longevity, beauty and balance.

 

When the face is needled, blood flow and qi carries nutrients to ALL cells of the body; the body interprets the insertion of needles as a ''positive injury'' (microtrauma), which, in turn, through ''stimulation of fibroblasts, can increase collagen output". Specifically it may produce type 3 collagen, known to support skin, muscles, connective tissue, bone health, hair and nail growth and other functions!

​

Cosmetic Acupuncture

 

Selected acupuncture points are used to activate the muscles and stimulate a 'natural toning mechanism' to naturally lift the face. Fine disposable needles are used for particular acupuncture points on the face, often penetrating the muscle or skin layer (dermis layer) depending on the wrinkle. This in turn, activates Qi and Blood in the face naturally. 

 

The particular points selected and the insertion of the needles into the dermis layer of the skin often combine to increase facial collagen production. This may cause an overall improvement in facial appearance and may have anti aging benefits.

​

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) enhances the bodies own natural healing abilities, treats the body holistically and aims to both treat and prevent illness. Aging is similar and these TCM principles can be applied to rejuvenating the face via cosmetic acupuncture. 

 

Constitutional Facial Acupuncture may work via treating the body at its constitutional, possibly 'DNA level', this is where the body is able to heal and repair itself and in turn the face. This helps provide a glowing and more youthful appearance.

 

​

 

At Northwood Clinic on Sydney's Lower North Shore Sydney, Cosmetic Acupuncture should encourage "If bodily harmony is restored and treatment is focused on the face, beauty and radiance should follow".
