Cosmetic Acupuncture

Now a youthful appearance can be achieved with acupuncture – specifically Mei Zen Acupuncture. No surgery, drugs or electrical stimulation are needed. This procedure is drawn from Chinese texts that are thousands of years old and it provides a whole-body approach to a more youthful appearance for both the face and abdomen. This wholistic approach supports the concept that external beauty is a reflection of the balance and harmony of the mind body and spirit of the individual on the inside.
Nancy Davison, PT, LAc is the only practitioner in central North Carolina trained in the Mei Zen method of cosmetic acupuncture. The normal course of treatment is a total of 12 sessions- one initial 2 hour session for a comprehensive evaluation and initial treatment, ten(10) actual facial or abdominal treatments for one hour twice a week for a period of 5 weeks and the final treatment to release any remaining imbalances. Nancy includes 2 Zero Balancing treatments as a part of the series and each treatment addresses individual body needs in addition to the cosmetic protocol.

Very tiny needles are inserted in points just under the skin to stimulate elastin and collagen production and muscle tone. With Facial acupuncture, fine lines soften, deep lines are smoother, broken capillaries improve and acne and rosacea decrease. Abdominal acupuncture often produces increased libido(sex drive) and decreased measurements in lower body. Other benefits of abdominal acupuncture may include reduced depression and anxiety, better digestion and sleep, fewer hot flashes and night sweats and reduction in pain.

Costs are considerably less that other forms of cosmetic rejuvenation and it works. A study in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture showed that or 300 people who received facial acupuncture, 90 percent saw marked results after their first course of treatments. Acupuncture is relatively pain free, quick recovery time without bruising or wounds to heal. Let your true inner beauty be revealed in your face and tummy through acupuncture.
