Cosmetic Acupuncture - Turtledove Acupuncture

Cosmetic Acupuncture is a non-surgical procedure that will help rejuvenate and revitalize your whole body. It is suitable for both men and women. With cosmetic acupuncture, the meridians that either end or begin at the face are utilized to stimulate and balance the energy and at the same time, the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process are treated. This involves the insertion of hair-thin disposable needles into specific areas on the face, ears, hands, legs and torso. The needles are inserted into the energy pathways or meridians to improve the flow of Qi (energy). As the movement of energy improves, a greater amount of energy and blood are circulated to the face, nourishing, hydrating, toning and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.
