Facial Acupuncture in Vero Beach to Reduce the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Facial Acupuncture in Vero Beach, FL: Indian River Health Center helps patients reverse the clock with facial acupuncture treatments. Acupuncture is a type of therapy derived from ancient Chinese medicine that involves inserting a number of fine needles into a patient’s skin at certain points. Facial acupuncture is also known as facial rejuvenation or cosmetic acupuncture. This non-surgical face treatment provides natural facial rejuvenation for a more radiant, healthy and youthful looking appearance.

Facial Rejuvenation with Cosmetic Acupuncture

Facial Acupuncture at Indian River Health Center

The basis behind all acupuncture is that the healthy functioning of the body is controlled through a system of channels under the skin by the flow of “qi” (pronounced “chee”). Qi can also be translated as “energy”. When qi flow is blocked or weakened, it can lead to pain, illness or other conditions occurring within the body.

Facial acupuncture stimulates blood flow, collagen and elastin production which improves skin health and reduces signs of aging, including the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Face acupuncture also promotes lymphatic drainage which reduces puffiness around the eyes. Benefits of face acupuncture include firmer and healthier looking skin.

How Facial Acupuncture Works at Our Vero Beach Health Center

At your first session, the acupuncturist at Indian River Health Center will provide an assessment of a patient’s general health, perform a physical examination and ask about the patient’s medical history. Once this is completed, the acupuncture therapy will begin. The acupuncturist will insert sterilized acupuncture needles into the face on specific acupuncture points, to stimulate blood flow.

Depending on the session, acupuncture needles maybe inserted just under the skin or deeper in order to reach muscle tissue. All needles used during a session are in sealed, sterile packaging which is opened in front of the patient. Once all of the needles are in place, they may be left in for a time period ranging a few minutes to close to 30 minutes. During the sessions, patients may feel a dull ache or a tingling sensation during needle insertion but should not experience any large amount of pain. If a patient does, the acupuncturist should be made aware of it right away. Once the session is complete, the needles are removed and disposed of accordingly.
