THE HISTORY & AIMS OF COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE

The History of Cosmetic Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and, although relatively new to the west, the Chinese have been using points on the face to combat the signs of ageing and to help with various skin conditions for many years. It was in use as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD - 1070AD) when the Empress and Emperor's concubines received cosmetic acupuncture.

The Aims of Cosmetic Acupuncture

Generally in today's society we have many issues involving families or careers that may cause us emotional stress. This is a part of life and it is impossible to eradicate these issues totally. What we can do with acupuncture is to help the body, mind and spirit to cope with these highs and lows of life and maintain a more even balance.

We could look at the family car as an example; many of us use the car daily and rely on it to start every time and get us to where we want to go. What happens, however, when we forget to service the car, or we forget to maintain the oil levels? Of course it breaks down and everything grinds to a halt.

We would not expect to run the family car on empty for long without it letting us down. Although, we are constantly running ourselves on empty and are then surprised when things start to give up on us and let us down.

With Facial Enhancement Acupuncture we will help improve those wrinkles, lift the face and we will also help to eradicate those laughter lines around the eyes, but what we will also do is to help your body, mind and spirit in a way that will strengthen your total well being.
