The principle of acupuncture beauty is to stimulate the body's acupoints, "supplement deficiency and drain excess" to regulate the function of qi, blood, and organs, and achieve the effect of treating diseases and strengthening the body. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "treating diseases from the root cause" and believes that all facial problems are caused by bodily imbalances. Therefore, by stimulating acupoints, clearing meridians, and removing the root causes, the effect of skincare and beauty can be achieved.
It can be seen that acupuncture can treat many conditions, and the most common ones used for beauty purposes are adult acne and weight loss.
The principle of acupuncture for acne treatment: Based on the specific causes of acne for each individual, such as lung fire, stomach fire, or spleen and stomach imbalances, targeted acupuncture treatment plans are formulated. By treating the symptoms and promoting smooth meridians, the goal of acne removal and beauty can be achieved.
Treatment method: Use copper or silver needles to puncture the corresponding acupoints on the face, limbs, and abdomen, and leave the needles in for about 30 minutes (awake needling).
Treatment course: Once every other day, with about 10 sessions as one cycle. The effect can be seen after 1-3 months (varies depending on individual constitution).
Contraindications: Avoid exposure to cold during the treatment period, and it is best to avoid water sports such as swimming.
Expert advice: Some patients with very weak constitution or nervousness may experience fainting during treatment, known as needle fainting. Therefore, it is important to relax during the first acupuncture session, and it is best to try it once to avoid accidents. If the purpose of acupuncture is purely for beauty, it is advisable to avoid the menstrual period. However, if the purpose is to regulate menstruation, there is no need to avoid the menstrual period.
