Do you feel like your face is not resilient? Perhaps you remember a time when you had beautiful glowing skin, but now you may feel as though your appearance is less than desirable. You may have tried cosmetic or skin care regimens to improve your skin, and it may still look dull. You are likely wondering if it is something in the environment, your diet, or whether age is a factor. A number of people have had your experience. Some of them have sought cosmetic relief with procedures such as Botox injections and fillers. You do not have to resort to these measures because cosmetic acupuncture can deliver the same results. The following are a few reasons you may want to consider it for your facial fix. 

Chemical-free

A number of the treatment options that are available to correct skin issues contain chemicals. This applies to at-home and professional services. For example, facial fillers and acid peels both involve the use of chemicals. Botox is a made from bacteria, and it generally does not cause bad reactions, but some people have had serious side effects from it. Cosmetic acupuncture does not involve the administration of chemicals on the epidermis or through the dermis of the skin.

Improves Circulation

Your dull appearance could be related to poor circulation. When circulation is optimal, the face and neck have adequate amounts of collagen and elastin, which are important markers in youthful, radiant skin. Cosmetic acupuncture can improve your appearance and make it comparable to a facelift. For example, you can expect fine lines to be diminished and bags under eyes may appear to be magically lifted. 

Non-Invasive

Some people seek surgery solutions such as face or neck lifts to improve the look of aging skin. Surgical incisions are a part of these procedures, and this makes them off limits for people who are afraid to "go under the knife." The needles used in acupuncture are medical-grade, and they do not cause pain. You will not need to schedule time off from work to heal from cosmetic acupuncture sessions, and some people find acupuncture sessions relaxing. 

An acupuncturist is a good resource to use to determine if you could benefit from cosmetic acupuncture. You can expect to have a consultation, which will  involve the professional gathering pertinent information about you and what you want to see improved, as well as any health concerns. This measure of intake is performed because of the holistic health beliefs associated with acupuncture. For more information, contact local professionals like Health Atlast Fountain Valley.
