Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Acupuncture:

What age range should cosmetic acupuncture be considered?

Cosmetic acupuncture is a way to naturally boost collagen and elastin production. We start to lose collagen in our skin by the time we are 20 years old, with an increase in collagen loss by about 1% per year. The best way to utilize cosmetic acupuncture benefits is to use acupuncture to prevent fine lines and encourage collagen and elastic production, starting in your 20’s or 30’s. Cosmetic acupuncture can also be used to prevent further lines, reduce current lines, and improve overall complexion in your perimenopause & menopause years.

.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

The Mei Zen protocol recommends 2 treatments per week for 5 weeks. You’ll notice immediate benefits like relaxation and improved energy flow. Each session enhances blood flow and Qi to the facial area, increasing collagen and elastin production, which reduces fine lines over time.

.

How does cosmetic acupuncture differ from Botox?

Cosmetic acupuncture is a holistic treatment without the adverse side effects associated with Botox. It uses tiny stainless steel needles instead of injections, avoiding muscle atrophy and nerve damage. This approach is more subtle and long-lasting, benefiting your overall health. For those seeking immediate and dramatic results, cosmetic acupuncture may not be the ideal choice.

.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Many people wonder if acupuncture is painful, but it generally isn’t. Here’s why:

  • Extremely Thin Needles: Acupuncture needles are much thinner than those used for injections, about the width of a human hair.
  • Shallow Insertion: Needles are inserted just enough to stimulate acupuncture points, collagen, and elastin.
  • Experienced Practitioners: A skilled acupuncturist performs the treatment gently and accurately. Most people experience minimal discomfort, often feeling a slight pinch or tingling sensation that is brief.

Acupuncture is designed to be a calming and therapeutic experience, with many patients finding the sessions so relaxing that they fall asleep.

.

Are skincare products used during the treatment?

Yes, we use all-natural products, including a toner and hyaluronic acid anti-aging or brightening serums, to enhance results and leave you glowing after your treatment.

.

How long do the effects last, and will I need maintenance?

To maintain and continue seeing improvements, it is recommended to have monthly maintenance treatments starting 2-3 months after completing the initial protocol.

.

Are there any contraindications for cosmetic acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture is not suitable if you are on blood-thinning medications, pregnant, in poor health, have unmanaged high blood pressure, or have had Botox within the last 3-6 months. A traditional acupuncture session might be more appropriate in these cases.
