Even if I am a beauty editor: to botox andI haven't dared to do so out of fear of the loss of my "true ego" (I never say never!). But despite the skin andThere are a few things that bother me on my skin and that in my opinion you prevent a natural ray.
So I get very curious when I hear from Natural Botox, in which the complexion is to be improved with acupuncture on the face or facial acupuncture. Because actually it is an even healthy skin that helps us (youthful) charisma - and not a completely wrinkled, smooth and not completely natural skin.
What fascinates me about cosmetic acupuncture is the holistic approach: in treatments, the interaction of movement, nutrition and mental health, such as sleep, is always considered. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), all of these factors are closely related to skin quality.
Therefore, TCM therapist Emilia Herting is carried out by an incoming pulse and tongue diagnosis in Hamburg, which is part of the anamnesis in the TCM. In addition, my current lifestyle is documented in a detailed conversation to recognize how
It is about my life energy qi, blood, yin and yang. In theIf one assumes that Qi's body is flooded with, which circulates in our body via the guidelines, so -called meridians. Due to stress and many other factors, as well as getting older, there may be blockages in the energy flow, our self -healing powers and energy can - which can also lead to the pale complexion, wrinkle and loss of elasticity of the skin. However, the Qi can be compensated for using acupuncture and changes in lifestyle. So the theory. But what does that look like in practice?
What is facial acupuncture?
"A cosmetic acupuncture is a skin -changing treatment in which you put small microns on certain points on the face, neck and décolleté," explains Emilia Herting. “You can focus on different areas, such as the
Zorn fold, the nasolabial fold or smaller wrinkles around the lips. ”

“On the one hand, needles are
”, Explains the expert. “This enables the skin supply, for example, to be stimulated with moisture, or we activate sleep -promoting points or those that strengthen the intestine. Problems in the digestive system often also affect the skin. ”

"The small needles, which are rich until the second layer of skin, the so-called dermis, cause small injuries or micro-traumatas, which leads to a whole range of biochemical processes in the body," the TCM practitioner summarizes the medical facts. "These small injuries in the dermis lead to the stimulation of collagen and elasters, with collagen being the filling material of the skin, and elastin ensures more elasticity and clamping power."

How deep does cosmetic acupuncture go?
Emilia Herting likes to compare this with the: “In contrast to oneWith the beautician, the needles go deeper, up to four millimeters deep. They are also more targeted, so only individual needles and not like a scooter with up to 500 needles at once. ” The advantage over needling: “After the treatment, you don't look as if you have sunburn, it does not come to severe impairments, and the long -term effect is also greater. That is why facial acupuncture is also considered a natural botox or natural beauty treatment. ”
How long does the effect last?
“A maximum success rate can be expected after three months with six to 12 weeks of acupuncture. The period of 90 days is considered special in our body
Regeneration brand: After three months, almost all of the cells that are capable of regeneration have
Body and three quarters of the red blood cells completely renewed, "says Herting." After that, you should come to 'refreshment' every four to twelve weeks to keep the effect. The refresher frequency depends on the age of the customer. I
Refreshing every 8-12 weeks, while more mature skin with monthly treatments in
is usually well advised. ”
Who is facial acupuncture suitable for?
"If someone has very acute inflammation, such as a flowering acne, the focus is on restoring internal equilibrium," said the TCM expert. "The diet, digestion, hormones and sleep quality play an important role here."

My conclusion:
I got a session in the Escapada Health Practice. The treatment itself was not painful at all, on the contrary, I found it pleasant and only felt a small peck. After all the needles have been removed, the puncture on the skin was no longer seen. And the long -term effect: In general, one can say that my face has significantly fewer impurities four weeks after the treatment, and I still think that the broadcast has changed. Of course, it is in my view whether this is really true after a session. However, appeared inInternational Journal of Clinical AcupunctureAlready in 1996 a report in which 90 percent of a test group of 300 treated said they had felt positive effects after a single facial acupuncture session. These included an increased elasticity of the facial muscles, paved wrinkles and an overall rejuvenated appearance. So my impression is not quite as absurd. What I find even more impressive: my impurities on the chin disappear over these weeks and are significantly reduced. So I believe Emila Herting when she says that with TCM you can eliminate these hormonal pimples in three cycles with acupuncture and teas (and order the tea ASAP).
What side effects are there?
"After cosmetic acupuncture, there are hardly any side effects, as a rule you can hardly see the punctures," Emilia Herting confirms my experience. "The treatment is also not painful because the needles are very fine." If you want a comparison, you could do it on the pain scale with thatcompare. "Depending on how sensitive you are, there can also be a small blue spot with a puncture that disappears after a few days."
Can you combine cosmetic acupuncture with treatments such as botox or hyaluron?
"In any case, you can combine this, the effect increases, and a deep fright fold that you want to remove completely, is certainly better treated," says the expert. But be careful: "Six weeks before the treatment, you shouldn't get a botox injected," explains Emilia Herting. "Hyaluron and acupuncture can be easily combined and a lot to consider, it usually does not apply."
What do I have to consider after the treatment?
"Ideally, strong make-up should be reduced after treatment, because the tissue and the pores are activated and open," explains Emilia Herting. "Alcohol and too much coffee have to be avoided for one or two days and a healthy lifestyle is of course always recommended." And the most important point: drink a lot!
How much does a facial acupuncture cost?
That depends on the practice. However, since the holistic approach in the TCM consistently applies, a TCM history always makes sense. The initial office (initial interview) including TCM beauty treatment takes 90 minutes and is includedEscapada Healthat 200 euros, whereby an all -encompassing health plan is created with nutritional recommendations, sleep recommendations & Co. The follow -up dates are then 60 to 75 minutes and cost 150 euros. You can also book “Signature Rejuvenation Packages” with six treatments for 950 euros.
