Zen to the rescue: cosmetic acupuncture

Are the Chinese on to something? Can an hour-long appointments with some pins and needles turn back the clock?

Cosmetic Acupuncture has been used in China for centuries but is relatively new to the US. It is one of the only cosmetic procedures that actually improves your overall health while giving you a more youthful look. Before_thumb

The Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine works by helping our skin create more collagen and elastin through its response to the needling. The procedure also brings more Qi (energy) to the face, which gives your skin a very vibrant, youthful appearance.

According to Martha Lucas, Ph.D., L.Ac. practitioner and instructor of Chinese Medicine and Cosmetic Acupuncture Specialist, the cosmetic improvements include:

-Reduction or elimination of fine lines
-Smoothing of deeper lines
-Reduction in or lifting of the beginning of jowls
-Plumping of the high cheek area

-More defined jaw line
-Firmer skin that has more elasticity and looks great

The Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture procedure is a 10 treatment protocol, each treatment takes about 45 minu tes.  Your Practitioner/Acupuncturist may also use some herbal remedies or masks that can make each treatment last a little longer. Estimate cost: $1,200 for the entire series.
