Real case sharing

I have eczema history, and easy to get allergies. I also find I always have very bad skin complexion, with dark eye circles. What are the causes? Is there any way to improve?

Allergies are partly due to hereditary factors. After our consultation, I also found that your blood & qi are not strong enough, and you are prone to have dampness accumulation, which cause the bad complexion. I'll suggest you to try facial acupuncture to improve blood & qi and brighten your complexion.

FAQ

  • Usually there will be a certain effect after treatment, especially the problems related to facial contour will take effect quickly, but it will take a longer time to adjust the skin quality. If the skin condition is closely related to the body constitution, it needs to be adjusted with Chinese medicine herbs.

  • For long-lasting results, young skin requires approximately 6 treatments (once a week), and more mature skin requires a course of 12 treatments. After the course of treatment, it is recommended to apply acupuncture 1-2 times per month.

  • It is not artificially implanted or injected, which is non-invasive treatment, the effect is more natural, and won't cause facial muscle stiffness/swelling. If the skin is in an allergic period or has slight inflammation due to acne, it can be used accordingly (*if the skin is sensitive to alcohol, please ask the doctor in time to change disinfectants*)

  • Generally speaking, facial acupuncture does not require recovery time, but there may be slight bleeding and bruising (especially around the eyes and cheeks) due to acupuncture. If there is bruise, it can be relieved by hot compress, and it will usually disappear within 3-5 days, which will not affect daily facial cleansing and makeup.
