Cosmetic Acupuncture FAQ

Do you want a painless and natural way to regain youthful appearance? For our customers who have experienced Cosmetic Acupuncture or friends who are interested in trying, we have compiled the following frequently asked questions:

Q1. How does the effect of Cosmetic Acupuncture compare to Aesthetic Medicine?

It results in a more natural appearance without a sense of artificiality. The principle involves using ultra-thin needles to stimulate the meridians, muscles, skin, and acupuncture points on the face, regulating the circulation of Qi and blood. This helps to improve wrinkles, sagging, and facial asymmetry caused by aging. Additionally, it stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin brightness and elasticity. It has significant effects on the apple muscles, creating a smaller face, and lifting the cheeks.

Q2. Does the full-face acupuncture procedure feel scary or painful for the patients?

Cosmetic Acupuncture utilizes high-tech ultra-thin needles with a thickness of 0.10mm to 0.12mm, even finer than human hair (0.15mm). Most patients do not feel any pain during the treatment, and a few may experience a slight tingling sensation. Overall, the procedure is well-tolerated by the patients.

Q3. How many sessions of Cosmetic Acupuncture are needed to see results?

Results can be seen immediately after the treatment, with noticeable improvements in facial appearance. The number of sessions required may vary based on individual skin condition and aging process. Typically, younger skin may require around six sessions, while mature skin may need about twelve sessions to achieve long-lasting cosmetic effects. After completing the sessions, it is recommended to have maintenance treatments of one to two sessions per month to sustain the results.

Q4. What should be avoided after the treatment?

‍After the Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment, it is essential to pay attention to the well-being of the heart, lungs, spleen, and liver, as these organs are deeply connected to the skin, muscles, and tendons according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. To enhance blood circulation and prolong the effectiveness of the treatment, consider the following tips:

1. Maintain a regular sleep schedule (go to bed before 11 PM and ensure at least 7 hours of sleep).
2. Avoid biting hard objects and chewing gum to prevent facial asymmetry.
3. Minimize alcohol consumption, as it can lead to skin sagging.
4. Try to avoid fried, grilled, spicy, raw, and icy foods.
5. Limit the intake of sugary foods.
6. Incorporate regular exercise into your routine.

Q5. Can Cosmetic Acupuncture be performed after undergoing invasive Aesthetic Medicine procedures?

Undergoing Aesthetic Medicine procedures will not interfere with Cosmetic Acupuncture, and in fact, the acupuncture treatment may help alleviate post-procedure skin conditions such as swelling. One reassuring aspect of Cosmetic Acupuncture is that there will be no post-procedure pain or foreign body sensation.

Q6. Who is suitable for Cosmetic Acupuncture, and are there any side effects?

Anyone looking to improve their facial shape, expression lines, uneven skin tone, and sagging can consider Cosmetic Acupuncture. This non-invasive treatment involves using ultra-thin needles and does not involve surgery or drug injections, resulting in no known side effects.
