Cosmetic Acupuncture

If you want to look your best, revitalized and full of life, then the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture protocols are for you!  Many factors contribute to the visible signs of aging including sun damage, smoking, stress, diet, and lifestyle.  The skin is our largest organ and reflects the state of our internal health.  It is the only organ that we have to take care of both from the inside and the outside.  In Chinese Medicine the state of physical health, emotions, and spirit is reflected on the skin, particularly on the skin of the face.  You look your best when your healthy inside reflects on your face!

Today, surgical procedures, laser resurfacing, various modes of injectable therapy and "non-invasive" procedures are being used to create a youthful appearance.  These procedures only address the "outside", can be expensive and can carry significant risks.

The Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System utilizes an ancient needling technique that is very superficial.  The needling brings increased Qi and blood flow to the face.  Additionally, the production of collagen and elastin is enhanced.  Since this system is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Mei Zen practitioner also uses point selections on the body to complete the balancing of energy. This results in an overall rejuvenating effect of body, mind and spirit. Diet, lifestyle and skin care are also evaluated and and addressed.

Some of the reported benefits of this treatment are:

- Improvement in the fine lines of the face and a diminishing effect on deeper wrinkles.
