There are two basic application protocols in cosmetic applications of acupuncture. These are Mei zen protocol and structural facial acupuncture application. These two cosmetic acupuncture applications are, in a sense, anti-aging treatments. There are studies showing an increase in collagen and elastin synthesis in the skin. Increasing collagen and elastin revitalizes the skin and increases its elasticity. As a result, people look healthier and younger. It corrects some deepened wrinkles and reduces blemishes. Another feature of cosmetic acupuncture is that facial expressions and facial expressions do not lose their naturalness since there is no intervention in the muscles under the skin. The body's self-healing mechanisms are activated only with acupuncture needles, without giving any medication to the body. For this reason, it is not right to expect a result from cosmetic acupuncture treatment that can be achieved with plastic surgery. In addition, the success of the technique decreases in cases that damage and negatively affect the natural structure of the skin. For example, the effectiveness of the application may decrease in cases such as smoking and alcohol use, exposure to too much sunlight, and insomnia.
Mei zen literally means beautiful person. As the name suggests, this application does not only aim to beautify the skin. It also aims to ensure the well-being of people, that is, to beautify them. Before applying cosmetics, Qi flow is checked and acupuncture is applied for balancing. It is then applied to the face or neck.
The body's ability to repair itself decreases with age. Therefore, if these practices are started at an early age, the results may be more positive. It is recommended to start treatment around the age of 30 or 40 for the face, and around the age of 40 or 50 for the neck.
The initial treatment is performed in a 10-session cure applied twice a week for 5 weeks. These cures must be done on time and completely. Afterwards, the sessions should be repeated depending on the person's condition. During this time, one should not drink alcohol, smoke, avoid excessive sun exposure or apply sunscreen creams. You should drink plenty of water and consume foods containing vitamins C, D, E, calcium and collagen.
