This procedure, originally reserved for royalty and nobility in ancient China, is now available to everyone, including many celebrities who prefer this natural approach.
What is Facial Acupuncture?
Facial acupuncture works by increasing the flow of chi through the facial meridians. Its rejuvenating effect is primarily due to the increase in blood flow to the face and the reduction of inflammation, providing an immediate glow. The needles used also stimulate collagen regeneration, helping to reduce wrinkles and resulting in smoother, more radiant skin.
