Facial Acupuncture originated from Traditional Chinese Medicine, originally used to help patients recovering from a stroke or Bell’s Palsy, or to treat those suffering from internal imbalances that showed on the skin. Acupuncturists successfully treated the muscles on the face that were drooping or weakened, resulting in a more symmetrical and firmer appearance of the skin. Over time, acupuncturists began to offer Facial Acupuncture as a cosmetic treatment knowing that it would also offer a variety of benefits from balancing internal systems.
