Have you ever tried acupuncture and homeopathic injections to treat for wrinkles, muscle tone, sagging skin, moisture replacement and acne? These procedures are designed to reverse, improve or erase the earliest signs of aging.

In our 40s, the collagen and elastin support network in our skin begins to break down. Our skin becomes dryer, the blood flow begins to slow and new cell production decreases. All of those increase wrinkle formation. At the same time, the underlying fat cells in our face shrink and excess skin begins to sag.

Facial acupuncture helps to stimulate the body's natural processes of cell reproduction and growth. It has been shown to increase circulation of the blood and lymph and to maintain healthy skin and muscle tone.

You are your face. The face is an external projection of your inner self and the reflection of your emotional world. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), emotions are mental stimuli that disturb the mind and spirit and alter the balance of the internal organs and the harmony of Qi (or chi, life's energy force) and blood. Balancing the interconnected systems of the human body to maintain healthy function is one of the main philosophical concepts that TCM is based on.

For this reason, emotional stress is an internal cause of disease that injures the internal organs directly. On the other hand, the state of the internal organs also affects our emotional state.

Wrinkles reflect the repetitive emotional expression and wrinkles are the expression of the internal organs. 

Facial acupuncture is not only a superficial treatment of wrinkles. It is also a therapy that treats the organs.

Homeopathic remedies are also an effective alternative to conventional pharmacological treatment of skin aging. Injection on acupuncture points with these remedies will reduce wrinkles and improve tissue tone.

Why not treat your face and body? With acupuncture and homeopathic injections, you can reduce the signs of aging and enjoy a preventative health treatment.
