Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture

Discover a natural approach to a youthful appearance using non-surgical Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture

Non-surgical Mei Zen cosmetic acupuncture is a holistic, natural and comprehensive skin rejuvenation program designed to restore, relax and re-balance the skin and body. The technique comes from the ancient Chinese Medicine texts and is taught worldwide by Martha Lucus, the founder of Mei Zen cosmetic facial acupuncture technique.

Mei Zen cosmetic acupuncture is a relatively painless procedure of inserting small (less than a hair's width) acupuncture needles just below the skin's surface to stimulate the production of collagen and elasin. It is an excellent alternative to cosmetic facelifts, surgery and/or botox utilizing your body's natural health and well-being to promote healthy skin and appearance.

Mei Zen Rejuvenation Treatment

A typical protocol begins with a consultation to determine your overall health and if you qualify for the procedure. We will also discuss your goals and which procedure you are interested in (neck or facial). This consultation runs 15-30 minutes and is free of charge.

If you qualify for treatment, then a 90 minute session is scheduled to include a complete evaluation, diagnosis and overall body balancing treatment. We then schedule a course of treatments that run two times per week for five weeks. During this time, herbs and foods will be prescribed that are specifically tailored for your overall health and your stated goals for facial rejuvenation.

Success of Cosmetic Acupuncture & Facial Rejuvenation

How successful is cosmetic acupuncture?

A study published in the Internation Journal of Clinical Acupuncture showed that of 300 people who recieved facial acupuncture, 90% saw marked results after one course of treatment.

How long your new look will last depends a lot on your lifestyle and whether you are willing to address other areas that may need attention such as exercise, nutrition and stress reduction. At a fraction of the cost of other procedures, cosmetic acupuncture is a sound alternative that can restore your radiant glow both inside and out.

The Benefits of Mei Zen Facial Rejuvenation

Promotes blood and lymphatic circulation: increased circulation dilates peripheral blood vessels for better distribution of oxygen and nutrients as well as cellular regeneration.

Rehydrates the skin's external layers through stimulation of the secretion of the sweat and sebacious glands which encourages the regeneration of healthy skin cells.

Helps exfoliation: aids the proliferation of new skin cells, increases nutrition to the skin's surface, improves the quality of the skin and promotes a healthy glow.

Allows healthy "breathing" of the skin's external layer speeding up the release of carbon dioxide and nitrogen at the cellular level, helping to keep skin deeply clean; contributes to reducing the accumulation of excess grease on the skin's surface.

Stimulate the production of elastin and 4 collagen proteins in the skin to reduce and soften wrinkles.

Reduced and relaxes the tension in the nerves and muscles improving the integrity of the skin resulting in improved overall facial appearance.
