COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE


This anti-aging technique uses thread-like needles in the face to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.  The needles create a microtrauma in the skin, improving circulation and promoting skin cell regeneration.

The Consultation

Picture


​The one hour treatment begins with a consultation so Claudia can determine your main areas of concern with your skin.  


You will be screened to ensure that the treatment is appropriate for you.
Contraindications include: pregnancy, severe migraines, botox in the last 3 months, laser resurfacing/microdermabrasion in the last 2 weeks.

​
There is a small risk of mild bruising from the treatments.  An oral homeopathic remedy and topical cream will be administered to reduce this risk.





  

The Treatment

Picture

Step 1 Cleanse-  The face is cleansed free of oils and/or makeup.  

Step 2 Tone-  A toner is applied to prepare your skin before needling.

Step 3 Body Needles-  4 needles are inserted in the body to ground the body before facial needling.

Step 4 Facial Needles-  Around 15-30 needles are inserted in the face.  As we progress through the treatments, slightly deeper needling may be used to help lift sagging skin.  

Step 5 Relax-  The needles are left in for 20 minutes while you relax.  

Step 6 Moisturizer- After the needles are removed, a moisturizer is applied with a facial massage.

*All skincare products used are free of parabens, silicones, sulphates, and synthetic fragrances and dyes*




The Result

Picture

​
Though your skin will be rejuvenated after one treatment, most individuals will not notice improvement in sagging or wrinkles until after 4-6 treatments.  For those aged 50+ or smokers, significant difference may not be seen until 7-8 treatments.  A full series of 10 treatments on a weekly basis is recommended for optimal results. 


Most individuals who complete the series report skin quality has improved, skin feels tighter and has a lift, prominent wrinkles appear diminished and pigmentation has lessened.  


Results can maintain for a couple years dependant on age and lifestyle, however completing another series a year later is recommended for those wanting to maintain results.
