How we feel on the inside is reflected on the outside , the vitality and complexion of our skin and the lines on our face tells a story about our state of health. Cosmetic  acupuncture is a non surgical  rejuvenation treatment . A great alternative to invasive injections and fillers, a natural way of feeling and looking younger. It is mentioned in the Chinese Medicine classical texts , how the emperor’s concubines received facial acupuncture to  maintain their beauty and youth.
