Study Notes
Cosmetic Acupuncture
- Cosmetic acupuncture stimulates facial muscles to relieve muscle tension, promoting a relaxed state and reducing wrinkles and sagging.
- Relaxed facial muscles reduce wrinkle formation and sagging, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Skin Regeneration
- Acupuncture needles create microscopic wounds in the skin, triggering the skin's natural repair response.
- The skin responds by producing collagen and elastin, essential for skin elasticity and firmness.
- This process promotes skin regeneration, resulting in firmer and more youthful skin.
