The Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture procedure improves the person's overall health and improves his or her digestion (both of which will lead to more beautiful skin and improve facial appearance).

The procedure brings more Qi (energy forces) and Blood to the face, thereby improving skin tone, circulation, and the health of the facial muscles.

From a modern medicine perspective, the needling causes micro-traumas in the skin and the body's response may be to send fibroblasts of collagen and elastin to those sites to heal them. That would improve the elasticity of the skin, plump the skin, and "lift" the face.

And don't forget, the Practitioner should be doing a balancing treatment prior to putting the needles in the face so there is the overall health balancing effect and the capability of the body to lift is enhanced.

The acupuncture facelift is one of the hottest new trends in Los Angeles beauty.   Our acupuncture facelift is based on the use of acutonics tuning forks and needles. 

Acutonics is defined as a process in which we: " place tuning forks on the meridians which are the energetic pathways of the body. When we sound the forks on the channels or points of the body, it moves the blockages. So tuning forks with frequencies of the planets are placed on acupuncture points or meridians to clear and attune the body." [Source]

This is a gentler approach to the acupuncture facelift. The typical Acupuncture facelift has 100 needles in your face; our treatment only has 20 needles in your face.  This has gotten us a lot of great reviews on the natural side of things.
