Cosmetic Acupuncture for your eyes

Generally, there are 3 main complaint about the appearance of the skin around the eye.

1. Dark circle under the eyes

Dark circles appear when there is insufficient toxin drainage around the eye areas as the result of poor circulation. With age, the dark circles become even more noticeable, as our skin decreases the volume of fat and collagen. Lack of sleep and tiredness is another factor that provokes the presence of these dark circles.

2. Bags under the eyes

As we age, the muscle and supporting tissue surrounding the eyes lose their firmness and the fat surrounding the eye area move below the eyes, causing them to look puffy and swollen. This is further aggravated by bad circulation, fluid retention, an unhealthy lifestyle

3. Wrinkles around the eyes

As the skin around the eyes is very delicate and plays a part in almost all our facial expressions, fine lines and wrinkles can easily form. In addition, the aging process slow down the collagen and elastin fibre production make these line more prominent.

Treatment:

Cosmetic Acupuncture is truly a wonderful treatment to improve the appearance of the skin around eye in the most healthy and natural way.  

 

It boosts the  blood and Qi flow around the eyes which then increases the oxygenation of the skin as well as removes the toxin that stagnates in this area. With better circulation, dark circles will be brighter and the puffiness will in turn improve greatly.

In addition, the insertion of the finest hair thin sterile needles under the eye area creates minor trauma locally which encourages the collagen and elastin fibre production.  Where the body lays down collagen in the areas of wrinkles it gives the effect of filling them in.

Beauty starts with a good circulation !

Cosmetic Acupuncture for sleep wrinkles

Sleep wrinkles form in response to distortion created when the face is pressed against any sleep surface. They will worsen over time due to repetition combined with thinning of the skin structure and decreased elasticity matrix as we age.

Sleep wrinkles are also influenced by the amount of time spent in various positions. While our initial sleep position is a conscious decision, we change positions throughout the night unconsciously. Side sleeping can lead to wrinkles on your décolletage and the side of your face you lie on. 

Belly sleeping accelerates the creation of permanent fine lines (especially on your forehead which even heavy retinol can’t cure), creases, and overall facial wrinkles. The pressure of your face into the pillow also creates more puffiness around the eyes because your head and your heart are lying at the same level, meaning more blood will flow into your face.

.

 Unlike facial expression wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, sleep wrinkles can't be eliminated using Botox since they are not caused by muscle contractions.

.

 Staying on your back when sleeping is ideal or training yourself to start sleeping on the back. Placing a thick pillow underneath the knees add comfort to the lower back while in this position. 

Also, there are several specialty pillows available to help achieve that.

.

If you find yourself shifting to your side during the night, try investing in a silk or satin pillowcase to prevent skin chafing and minimize these negative effects.

.

Remember, it only takes 2 weeks to establish a new habit‼

.

Le Acupuncture also advises clients  to use sunscreen, quit smoking, optimize nutrition, and maximize topical skin care to control at least some of the variables that influence aging... and have regular cosmetic sessions to follow up and maintain what has been achieved

Improve Spider Veins naturally

Spider veins occur when the valves in your veins do not close completely, allowing blood to back up in a section of a vein. Several factors increase your risk of developing spider veins, including:

  • Extra Weight. The more you weigh, the more pressure on your veins. Spider veins are more likely if you are overweight or gain weight during pregnancy.

  • Family History. Weak valves are common in some families and are passed on from generation to generation.

  • Age. As you age, your veins tend to become weaker, which can lead to the development of spider veins.

  • Hormonal Changes. Changes during puberty, pregnancy and menopause can cause spider veins, as can using any form of birth control that contains estrogen and progesterone. Hormonal changes tend to weaken the walls of your veins, making it easier for spider veins to develop.

  • Inactivity. Your veins must work harder if you sit or stand for long periods of time.

  • Smoking. Smoking makes it more difficult for blood to circulate through your veins. When circulation is impaired, your vessels swell and spider veins form.

Acupuncture is an efficient way to  reduce/get rid of spider vein naturally by improving circulation to prevent clot build up as well as improving lymphatic function.
