Ageing well :
Ageing is a natural process and every face tells a story– where the person’s been, their struggles, their joy and of course, their inner spark!
So, instead of anti-ageing, we help you embrace your skin at its healthiest best, no matter the age.
- Cosmetic acupuncture can help reduce wrinkles, diminish fine lines, remove age spots, and lift droopy eyelids.
- It improves skin by stimulating the production of collagen and as a result becomes supple and firm.
- It also increases circulation and boosts elastin to firm and tone the face and promotes systemic detoxification to leave you with a clearer complexion.
- It works internally to optimize your health while simultaneously enhancing the appearance of your skin.
- Most treatments may involve 12-15 sessions, as well as additional sessions for maintenance of results.
For Acne :
- Acupuncture works by correcting the root cause of Acne. Most Acne is caused by heat, toxicity, dampness or stagnation.
- Needling, electro stimulation and cupping stimulates the qi movement, increases microcirculation, reduces inflammation, balances hormones and helps you relax. It can successfully treat hormonal as well as cystic acne.
- By addressing the root cause and eliminating pathogens, it creates a homeostatic milieu that reduces stress and keeps acne at bay.
- Most treatments may involve 12-15 sessions, as well as additional sessions for maintenance of results.
- A well-placed needle sets off a cascade of events:
- Through the neurohumoral pathway; producing a signal that travels along the spinal cord to the brain, triggering a release of neurotransmitters such as beta-endorphins, serotonin and enkephalins. (Pomeranz, 1987, Zijlstra 2003, Zhao 2008, Cheng 2009).
- Reduction of inflammation by promoting release of vascular and immunomodulatory factors thereby reducing pain. (Kim 2008, Kavoussi 2007, Zijlstra 2003).
- Through enhancing local microcirculation, by increasing the diameter and blood flow velocity of peripheral arterioles. It can repair muscle injuries and strengthen weak muscles or relax tense ones. (Komori 2009).
- Due to the concentrated placement of acupoints around the joints, it can influence the stimulation of nerve growth factor and bone growth factors; thereby facilitating tissue regeneration. (Gh, He, Ruan Jw, Zeng Ys, X. Zhou, Y. Ding, and Zhou Gh, 2015)
As per Classical Chinese Medicine, regular Acupuncture sessions in the long run promote production and circulation of Qi, blood and body fluids as well as aid the transformation process by eliminating toxins through sweat, urine and faeces. This, in turn optimises immunity, improves appetite, energy levels and sleep, regularises bowel movements and helps manage stress better.
The safety profile of acupuncture is excellent, with very few adverse events when performed by a trained practitioner.
As no two patients are alike, the duration of the treatment vastly depends on the patient’s age, health habits and the severity of the condition.
