Lift & Tighten: Acupuncture Facelift in Salt Lake City

Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments are effective, non-toxic methods to slow the signs of aging and brighten your look! All-natural facial rejuvenation treatments are a great alternative to injecting botulinum toxin and chemical fillers. If you want an alternative therapy to enhance your beauty and are willing to commit to 10 treatments over 5 weeks then this treatment will give you a lifted and tightened look - this is why it’s called an Acupuncture Facelift.

This ancient treatment has been for facial rejuvenation for over 5,000 years. Emperors and Empresses used it in ancient times as part of their beauty and health regimen.

Acupuncture needles stimulate facial tissue and increase circulation to your skin. You're reducing existing wrinkles and slowing down new ones by making your own collagen and elastin. Cosmetic Acupuncture stimulates your own body’s ability to produce collagen and elastin by re-oxygenating and repairing the skin cells, reducing inflammation, balancing hormones, and restoring overall health.

This treatment can even be used to prepare you for that big event up to the day before as there is no down time or bruising.

What is a Cosmetic Acupuncture Session Like?

Your acupuncture treatment is customized to your unique health and beauty concerns. Dr. Young, DAEAM, L.Ac. balances the body with Acupuncture to correct underlying issues - perhaps you have dark circles because you aren’t getting good sleep? Or maybe you are getting wrinkles associated with the strain of sublimating pain? With Acupuncture to improve sleep, anxiety and pain - you will look better! Improvements are also made using tiny, hair-thin, facial needles inserted to address lines, wrinkles, expression lines, tight muscles (TMJ) and to improve blood flow that will improve the health of the skin. Dr. Alessandra Young, D.Ac. is trained in the Virginia Doran techniques of facial acupuncture. It is pain-free!

Facial Cupping

Facial Cupping is included in the Retreatment Wellness Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment. Silicone cups are used to drain stagnant fluids and reduce puffiness. Cupping also improves circulation, and bring nutrients to the face resulting in an immediate youthful glow.

Facial cupping is gentle and leaves no marks. The cups come in a variety of shapes specially designed for your face. After applying therapeutic oil, the cup is gently suctioned for a few seconds to stimulate individual acupuncture points. The cups are then gently moved along the acupuncture meridians and over deep wrinkles to bring micro-circulation to the surface. They are then moved down the neck to drain lymphatic fluid and stimulate blood flow. Cupping brings collagen to the surface, drains the sinuses, and lymph, and can relieve TMJ and sinus headaches.

LED Light Therapy

LED Light Therapy stimulates collagen production, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Certain color lights have been shown to decrease inflammation as well as eliminate acne-causing bacteria to improve skin clarity and balance redness from rosacea.

LED Light Therapy Promotes Collagen

LED means light emitting diode. It uses varied spectrum infrared lights to treat different skin problems. For example: amber light stimulates collagen and elastin, red light increases circulation, and blue light kills bacteria.

As you lie under the LED light panels, you’ll wear protective eye gear and feel a warm sensation over your face. After a few minutes, most patients feel very relaxed. Treatment time is up to 30 minutes. Relax under the lights!

How Long Do Results of Cosmetic Acupuncture / Facial Acupuncture Last?

Unlike fillers and BoTox, the benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments last for longer periods of time when you keep up with occasional maintenance visits. You save money over time because the collagen produced by your own body is being maintained rather than trying to fight the inevitability of aging. You will achieve a more natural look, with less wrinkles and sagging, improved overall health, and no side effects.

With these natural therapies, your health is never at risk and the cost is minimal in the long run since you will not have to keep repeating treatments as often. Lastly, you will never have to worry about the long-term adverse side effects that are as yet unknown from injecting your face with chemical fillers and toxins.
