Cosmetic Acupuncture:
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture? Cosmetic Acupuncture is a centuries old process, dating back to the early Western Zhou period of 1121-770 BC where treatments were developed to treat a variety of skin conditions and to combat the ageing process. It evolved alongside the traditional Chinese acupuncture.
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture:
Acupuncture originated in China over 5,000 years ago and has been used by countless therapeutics across the world. Acupuncture is one of the many therapies of Traditional Oriental Medicine. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into acupuncture points found on the body in order to stimulate the body’s healing energy.
