That’s where facial acupuncture comes in!

HISTORY OF FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
For thousands of years, the Chinese have known that beauty comes from the inside. At least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1279AD), acupuncture rejuvenation practices were employed for the Empress, the Emperor’s concubines and the Royal Court. The Chinese discovered and utilized ways to change the energy flow within the body to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation.
According to an ancient Chinese proverb, “Where qi goes, blood flows”. They knew way back then that acupuncture increased the circulation of blood to the tissues and especially the face, creating more youthful and rejuvenated looking skin and promoting longevity.
