Principles of acupuncture

Blood, Bodyfluid and Chi flow.
Acupuncture uses carefully-placed fine needles to promote blood flow,bodyfluid and energy circulation. This energy is known as “Chi,” representing “the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical aspects of life,” .

Blood,Bodyfluid and Chi travel along meridians-pathways of energy throughout the body. When blood,bodyfluid or Chi create blockages in certain parts of the body, it can have negative effects. Once these blockages are cleared, blood,bodyfluid and energy flow improve, and well-being is restored.
Balance. Due to its holistic nature, acupuncture focuses on the body as a whole and on the systems working together. In other words, if one part of the body isn’t working properly, it can affect other parts and cause imbalances.

How Anti-aging acupuncture works

Cosmetic and anti-aging acupuncture — also known as acupuncture facial rejuvenation or anti aging — is built on the same foundation as acupuncture, using many of the same theories.

It involves placing very fine, disposable surgical needles on certain points of the face — such as wrinkles around the mouth, forehead and eyes — and other parts of the body — such as the hands, arms, legs and feet. This treatment is very safe and non invasive.   Treatments include softening of facial lines, improvement in skin tone, reduction of under-eye circles and a general facial glow. Most time during and after treatment the person experiences a youthful feeling inside out.
