In your 40s your skin can go through a few changes and start to show signs of aging. These can include:
• Loss of firmness in cheeks and face
• Lines around lips are starting to show
• Fine lines and crepiness in areas of the face
• Forehead, frown line and crows feet start to deepen
• Nasolabial fold more noticeable
• Stress and tension on face
• Loss of elasticity in skin Skin looks lacklustre, dry and dehydrated
Cosmetic Acupuncture in your 40's will be focusing on stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in your face to soften lines and wrinkles and bring back volume and firmness to the face.
Increasing blood circulation and movement through the face to oxygenate and revitalise the cells to hydrate, brighten and bring back that glow to your skin.
Needling of the muscles of the face may be introduced if you present with weakened or droopy muscles to lift and tone.
We Recommend:
Anti aging plus targeted areas: 6 - 8 treatments, once a week.
Maintenance
Every 4 - 6 weeks

Cosmetic Acupuncture in your 50
’s and 60’s recognises that after menopause, you may
notice your face and skin will behave differently. The
natural process of your body breaking down collagen
and elastin will speed up and the process of building
collagen will slow down. This leads to loss of volume,
sagging and drooping. Some common presentations
are:

• Sagging and drooping
• Heavy eyelids
• Loss of muscle tone in face
• Loss of volume
• Folds coming from mouth area (marionette lines)
• Deeper lines and wrinkles
• Loss of elasticity- skin lacks bounce
• Crepiness due to excess skin
• Gaunt or hollowness

In your 50s, and 60’s a few different techniques will be
used to stimulate collagen production for loss of
firmness and lines and wrinkles.
Sagging and drooping will be addressed by targeting
Motor points in muscles, lifting and toning the muscles
that are responsible for ‘lifting’ the face.
The encouragement of blood circulation results in
oxygenation of the soft tissues and skin, for softer,
more hydrated, glowing skin.

Recommended:
Anti-aging & targeted areas: 8-12 treatments, 1 – 2
times a week.

Maintenance:
Once every 4 weeks.

With the change of season upon us now is a great time to support your system and support your immunity. Acupuncture can be very effective at doing just this, combined with herbal medicine it can give a great boost and help regulate your immunity therefore assisting in prevention of possible disease. TCM has long focused on prevention rather than just treating the acute and preconditioning by acupuncture which means stimulation with acupuncture before the onset of diseases has been widely applied from ancient time to present clinical practice. If you would like to make a booking please call 0410855630.
