I’m excited to share an article about cosmetic acupuncture that was published last week in Allure Magazine!
Read the full article: Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Cosmetic Acupuncture By Julia Guerra
I appreciate that for this article, Guerra spoke with multiple experts to get a broad perspective on how cosmetic acupuncture works, whether it works, what to expect, and more.
She interviewed three acupuncturists and three MDs to answer the questions:
- – What is cosmetic acupuncture?
- – What’s a session like?
- – Who is cosmetic acupuncture for?
- – What are the possible benefits of cosmetic acupuncture?
- – How much does it usually cost?
- – Is cosmetic acupuncture a natural alternative for Botox?
What are the possible benefits of cosmetic acupuncture?
A quote from the article:
“Cosmetic acupuncture can enhance the production of collagen via micro-injury to the skin, increase blood flow, stimulate immune responses that reduce inflammation, and activate any number of functional points that have various responses, like reducing jaw tension or relieving anxiety,” says licensed acupuncturist and aesthetician Stephanie DiLibero, LAc, founder of New York City acupuncture studio Gotham Wellness. Jenny Liu, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, agrees that cosmetic acupuncture could be helpful in these ways.
This is similar to a comment from Dr. Hadley King, board-certified dermatologist, in an article published in The Huffington Post (“Is Facial Acupuncture the New Botox?”):
I think from a rejuvenating perspective, you could think of [facial acupuncture] as a very light dose of microneedling, which we know stimulates collagen and helps the tone and texture of the skin.
Every time you insert a needle, it’s going to activate the wound healing cascade, and that does stimulate collagen and blood flow.
