At Nature Heals clinic, we offer an exclusive facial acupuncture treatment- Facial Sculptural Needling, in addition to regular cosmetic acupuncture treatment. This advanced procedure targets the areas where aging occur in skin layers and is tailored for individuals who wish to achieve similar results to those of cosmetic surgery but in a more natural way.
What causes skin aging?
Everyday facial movements and chewing activities cause create tension, spasms, adhesions, and a loss of elasticity in the facial fascia. Shrinking or stiffening of the fascia compresses blood vessels, restricting blood circulation, lymphatic flow, and ultimately affects skin metabolism. As a result, the skin in these areas lacks hydration and nutrients, leading to dryness, sagging and wrinkles.
How does Facial Sculptural Needling help with loose skin and wrinkles?
Facial Sculptural Needling is a precise technique that targets the superficial fascial layer of the face using specialised acupuncture needles. By releasing tension in the fascia, this method helps restore elasticity, alleviate uneven pressure beneath the skin, and rebalance muscle strength to address loose skin and wrinkles. The needling technique creates “micro traumas” that trigger the body’s natural repair mechanisms, prompting tissue healing through activation of the nervous, immune and endocrine system. This process enhances blood circulation, reduces inflammation and metabolic wastes, and boosts water and nutrient absorption in the skin.
Is Facial Sculptural Needling better than Botox or Fillers?
One of the most remarkable advantages of Facial Sculptural Needling is the visible long-term natural effects it offers, with minimal side effects when compared to Botox or Fillers. Refer to the table below to find out the differences.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Visible results from the treatment may be observed after 3-4 sessions, with some people noticing immediate enhancements such as a firmer, lifted, and more plumped facial appearance after each session. Wrinkles can be gradually diminish from deep to shallow and from long to short until they fade away with the cumulative treatment effect. The extent of transformation depends on individual upkeep and the body’s responsiveness.
