When it comes to enhancing your natural beauty and promoting skin health, you may have considered various options. Cosmetic Acupuncture is one such option that offers a safe and holistic approach to rejuvenating your appearance. If you’re scheduled for your first Cosmetic Acupuncture session with Needle & Glow in Chicago, here’s what you can expect and how to prepare for the experience.
Before your first session at Needle & Glow, it’s advisable to schedule an initial consultation with our experienced acupuncturist, Kari Schwager. During this consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your skincare goals, any specific concerns you may have, and your medical history. Kari will attentively listen to your needs, ask relevant questions, and collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique skin requirements. Rest assured that Kari will provide clear explanations and ensure you feel comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.
To make the most of your first Cosmetic Acupuncture session, there are a few preparations to keep in mind. First and foremost, avoid alcohol, drugs, or any substances that may disrupt your body’s balance for at least 24 hours before your appointment. This will help create an optimal state for your body to receive the treatment effectively.
Regarding your meal, it’s recommended to have a light meal or snack a few hours before your session. When choosing your outfit, opt for loose and comfortable clothing. This choice not only promotes relaxation during the treatment but also allows easy access to the areas that require treatment.
The key to a successful Cosmetic Acupuncture session is creating a calm and balanced environment for your skin to receive the treatment it needs. By following these simple guidelines, you’ll be fully prepared to experience the benefits of this rejuvenating session.
During your Cosmetic Acupuncture session, Kari will strategically insert tiny acupuncture needles into specific points on your face and body. While you may feel a slight sensation during the insertion, any discomfort is typically brief.
Many clients report a deep sense of relaxation and tranquility during the session. It’s essential to listen to your body, paying attention to any emotional or mental shifts that may occur. Some individuals may experience an improved emotional state or heightened relaxation, so take your time to fully embrace the therapeutic experience. Sessions generally last around 60 minutes, allowing you ample time to immerse yourself in the rejuvenation process.
Collagen, a key component for skin rejuvenation, takes approximately 28 days to form. You’ll begin to notice the effects of cosmetic acupuncture after six to eight weeks, especially if you’re coming in for weekly sessions. We typically recommend 12 to 20 treatments, depending on your specific skincare goals. After achieving your desired effects, a monthly “touch-up” treatment is recommended to maintain your results. We highly advise booking a free consultation to discuss your unique cosmetic acupuncture journey.
