Cosmetic Acupuncture
Laura spent the early part of her career working for one of New York City’s top cosmetic surgeons. She participated in hundreds of cosmetic surgeries ranging from rhinoplasty (nose augmentation), upper and lower blepharoplasty (eye-lid surgery), injectables of botox or filler, liposuction, and breast augmentation. It is there that she cultivated specific techniques that now provide her with the knowledge to treat all patients in a style tailored for each individual.
Benefits of Facial Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe, natural, effective way to create beauty internally as well as externally without side effects. Stimulating facial muscles triggers increased blood flow, collagen, and elastin. During cosmetic acupuncture treatments, Laura meticulously threads the wrinkles superficially which creates scar tissue in and around the wrinkle. This scar tissue is essentially collagen, which fills the wrinkles and leave the skin with a younger-appearance. This reduces inflammation, fine lines, puffiness and sagging and improves color, tone and texture of the skin. Overall health and well-being also benefit since the face is a reflection of the whole body.
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture, or cosmetic acupuncture, is a non-surgical treatment for facial and skin issues to improve acne, rosacea, wrinkles and elasticity.
Acupuncture aims to correct the signs of aging by both local treatment and by treating the underlying causes of what is specifically manifesting the aging process.
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process. It is a revitalization process designed to help the whole body look and feel younger. The combination of acupuncture tools like gua sha, facial cupping, microcurrent, facial rolling and other modalities, make facial rejuvenation a safe alternative to surgery or fillers
The course of treatment consists of approximately 10-12 sessions. Follow-up appointments are recommended every 6 month - 1 year, this is considered maintenance. It is near impossible to avoid the environmental , physical, and emotional triggers which have an effect on ones appearance. Therefore maintenance is highly recommended in order to continue withholding the effects of facial acupuncture treatments.
The effects of the treatments become most noticeable and lasting midway through the series. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. Following the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the results. The effects of acupuncture facial rejuvenation can last for years with regularly scheduled maintenance.
