Facial Acupuncture Makes Skin Look Brighter and Fresher

JAKARTA - Facial aesthetic acupuncture is a medical approach to make the skin look brighter and fresher due to optimal oxygen and nutrient supply.

"The face looks more relaxed and healthy after therapy. Another important thing is high safety, because it is done by doctors with sterile and standardized techniques," said Prinsa Raudha Anca, a medical acupuncture specialist at Sari Asih Hospital, South Tangerang, South Tangerang.

Another benefit of facial acupuncture is to support the production of natural collagen and reduce facial muscle tension. Then, facial acupuncture can also increase blood microcirculation in facial tissues and stimulate the neurovascular response.

"God willing, acupuncture is safe for all skin types as long as it is carried out by a competent medical personnel," added Prinsa in his statement.

He said that the medical acupuncture procedure is relatively simple and does not require special preparation. For facial acupuncture, it is recommended not to use thick make-up and without downtime, so that patients can immediately return to their normal activities after therapy.

"Medical acupuncture is now a safe and measurable modern medical choice. Unlike general traditional acupuncture, this service is a medical act performed by a specialist doctor, with a scientific approach and clear medical indications," he said.

Acupuncture comes from traditional Chinese medicine which recognizes the concept of body energy balance. However, in modern medical practice, acupuncture is understood as a neuromodulation method.

Penetrating a needle at a certain point is scientifically proven to stimulate the peripheral and central nervous systems, increase the release of endorphins and neurotransmitters, help regulate the autonomic nervous system and improve micro-blood flow (microcirculation)
