What to Expect During Your Cosmetic Acupuncture Treatment

Week 1 + 2

From experience with patients in the clinic, Some patients report improved skin hydration and softness within the first one to two weeks, which may be related to increased circulation. One of the most common feedback we get is that patients say that even after the first treatment they find their skin has become softer and easier to manage. Their skin maybe hydrated and dryness may disappear – this maybe due to the instant blood flow that arrives to the face and skin during facial acupuncture, oxygenating the cells and boosting oxygen and nutrient transfer to the skin. Working on motor points will see that the muscles in the face are more relaxed and tension in brow and jawline is softening. There is increased colour in the face and a brightened complexion.

Week 3 + 4

At 3 – 4 weeks, Some patients begin to notice changes in muscle tone and skin texture around weeks three to four. The skin may feel more refined and may be softer and large pores may be minimised. Many women tell us at this point that their make up is looking nicer and staying on for longer – this maybe due to the increased hydration of the skin.

Week 5 to 7

For some patients, changes associated with collagen stimulation may begin to be noticeable around weeks five to seven. The face may feel firmer in some areas. The skin around the mouth and cheeks may feel tighter and lines may begin to soften. The soft tissue of the face may feel firmer and denser and the face may look and feel plumper. There may be a visible and palpable plumping out in targeted areas where there has been loss of volume. Muscles in the face may feel lifted and eyes more open.

Week 8 to 12

For many patients, more significant changes in skin firmness and the appearance of lines may become. The face can continue to feel firmer and denser, opening up the nasolabial fold and lifting marionette lines (folds off the corner of mouth that give off the sad/drooping look). Lines may have softened and skin may look plump, hydrated and taut. The complexion may be more even, pores smaller, and redness diminished.
