Cosmetic acupuncture
This is a form of acupuncture that has become very popular in recent years. Many people seem to be attracted to the fact that this completely natural treatment can have such a rejuvenating effect. Indeed, the results of cosmetic acupuncture are sometimes stunning: the facial skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. However, cosmetic acupuncture is not only about the external appearance. In fact, the stunning results are just as much the result of the inner work that needs to be done.
Cosmetic acupuncture for internal and external well-being
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, body and mind are one. This makes it inherently impossible to treat only 'the outside'. It means that our appearance is connected to our inner self. How we look says something about who we are, what we have experienced, and how we have processed it. Our face can be seen as the mirror of our inner state. Applying acupuncture on the face therefore triggers much more than just external rejuvenation; it also sets an inner process in motion. How do you deal with that?
Results of cosmetic acupuncture
The results of cosmetic acupuncture depend on many factors. As mentioned, your inner well-being plays an important role. Are you willing to look at the emotional themes reflected in your face? Are you willing to change your old patterns? Additionally, the result depends on your lifestyle and diet. The healthier and more varied they are, the better the results will be.
How does cosmetic acupuncture work?
After a thorough intake and diagnosis, a treatment plan is developed. The treatment with cosmetic acupuncture consists of a course of nine to twelve sessions. The initial sessions are usually given twice a week and then reduced to once a week. After that, a maintenance treatment is recommended every few months.
Well-trained acupuncturist
It is important to have cosmetic acupuncture performed by a well-trained acupuncturist. Not only because there are contraindications (such as pregnancy and high blood pressure) but also because making a diagnosis from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine is important. After all, it concerns your overall well-being.
When to consider cosmetic acupuncture?
If you want to look healthier and more radiant and are willing to do the corresponding inner work, cosmetic acupuncture can be a good way to rejuvenate yourself internally and externally.
Attention: cosmetic acupuncture is not covered by health insurance.
