Cosmetic Acupuncture - Case Study. As an alternative to more invasive protocols for face lifts or wrinkle reduction, Acupuncture has been effective as a treatment option.
Acupuncture is gaining popularity as an alternative and a much less invasive procedure for facial rejuvenation and renewal. The combined herbal facials, light therapy, facial Tui Na, lymphatic massage, and Dermal or micro-current acupuncture have been combined effectively in our clinic as an effective treatment option for many such skin conditions. here are some case studies from Total Wellness Center.
Case Study Female 46
Case of a female 46 with deep laugh lines was treated with dermal acupuncture, herbal face mask, facial tui-na and subsequent Lumiere photofacial 655 nm far infrared light therapy. This six week protocol included twice weekly facial acupuncture, once weekly facial treatment with herbal mask followed by the light therapy. The protocol uses micro-trauma as the bio-mechanism to induce collagen and elastin formation at the site of the needle insertion.
Before
after
The case showed visible improvement of the overall skin tone and more specifically the lessening of the wrinkle appearance. The treatment lasts over a year unlike botox injections which require repeated injections. A twice a year maintenance treatment is recommended.
Case Study Female 82
