Q and A
— HOW DOES IT WORK?
Cosmetic acupuncture stimulates body’s collagen production and lymphatic drainage. Various methods are utilized to intentionally induce micro trauma to your skin as well as promote drainage of excessive fluid through lymphatic system. When body gets stimulated, it starts to generate healing by bringing more nutrients including collagen(protein). Collagen accounts about 30% of our body’s protein. Due to tightening and anti-aging effects, it has been called as ‘natural Botox’. Give your body a little nudge to do a better job!
— IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW BEFOREHAND?
Before any acupuncture treatment, it is highly recommended to have food. This will prevent from light headedness or fainting.
If you have an event, book an appointment 5-7 days prior to the event just in case. This is to give enough time for your body to heal any potential bruise entirely. Also, you may not want to wear make up for 4 hours after a session. If you are to have Botox or filler injections, space out your cosmetic acupuncture booking two weeks apart.
Scar therapy after surgery can be applied after 4 weeks to avoid any possible infection.
— HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?A course of consistent treatments will be able to give you a better and longer effect even though you will still feel amazing after one session. However, it depends on what you would like to achieve through sessions and current skin condition.
