ACUPUNCTURE

What is Acupuncture

Similar to regular acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles across various locations in the body, however, cosmetic acupuncture specifically includes the insertion of even finer needles into specific points on the face. These points include areas around the forehead, cheeks, jaw, nose, and mouth.

While cosmetic acupuncture can be an effective way to rejuvenate your appearance, it is important to have realistic expectations. Results can vary and it often takes multiple treatments to achieve noticeable and lasting improvements. It’s always a good idea to consult with skincare professionals to determine the best approach for your specific needs and goals.
