How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions for cosmetic acupuncture can vary based on individual goals and skin conditions. Generally, a typical treatment plan may involve one to two sessions per week for about four to six weeks to achieve noticeable results. After that, some people choose to have maintenance sessions every month or as needed to keep their skin looking its best. It's best to consult with your practitioner to determine the right plan for you!
What's the difference between cosmetic acupuncture and botox?
Cosmetic acupuncture and Botox differ significantly in their methods and effects. Cosmetic acupuncture involves the use of tiny needles to stimulate blood flow and collagen production, promoting a natural and gradual improvement in skin texture and the reduction of fine lines. It also contributes to overall wellness.
On the other hand, Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles, providing a quick solution for smoothing out wrinkles.
​
In essence, facial acupuncture can be viewed as the opposite of Botox. While Botox freezes specific muscles to reduce the appearance of lines and prevent new ones from forming, acupuncture enhances muscle tone and encourages collagen production. This rejuvenation process leads to a more natural improvement in appearance over time, allowing the body to maintain a youthful look rather than simply masking signs of aging.
