Beauty from within with Cosmetic Acupuncture and Celluma red & near IR Light Therapy
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
The way we look and feel goes hand-in-hand, so it makes sense that acupuncture would be an excellent addition to beauty routines.
Cosmetic acupuncture is administered in the same way as traditional acupuncture, with tiny needles inserted into the face at strategic points, including fine lines and wrinkle creases.
Like regular acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture creates micro-traumas in the skin’s surface to trigger a self-repair process, thus boosting circulation and enhancing the production of elastin and collagen.
Collagen is an essential protein that provides structure and support to the body’s skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. As you age, the production of collagen begins to slow down. A visible sign of this breakdown can be seen in your skin, which becomes saggy and prone to developing fine lines and wrinkles.
By increasing the production of elastin and collagen, cosmetic acupuncture is thought to improve the texture and quality of skin and fight the aging process.
What Is red Light Therapy?
Early NASA research proved that specific wavelengths of light could enhance human tissue at the cellular level, resulting in a wide variety of therapeutic benefits. In more recent years, light therapy has become a mainstream method of treatment for acne, aging, and pain.
Celluma red Light Therapy has clinically proven anti-aging effect on the skin. Red light increases mitochondrial energy production and drives Adenosine Thriphosphate (ATP), energy carrying molecules, production by the mitochondria. Using wavelengths, Celluma low level light therapy stimulates fibroblasts and enhances collagen synthesis and production, elastin production, making the skin to look more toned, rejuvenated, hydrated and lifted in a natural, non-toxic, non - invasive manner.
Collagen is important—not just for giving us youthful skin and helping us avoid that saggy look around the neck and jowls—collagen is needed to keep the entire body youthful, resilient, strong, and vital. In fact, collagen is the most abundant protein in the entire body. Even more important than what we can see on the surface, collagen is also what gives our muscles, skin, blood vessels, bones, and digestive system the healthy tissues that they need to keep us strong and free from disease.
Here are 5 ways to help maintain healthy collagen levels as you age:
1.Bone Broth
2.Low level light therapy (LLLT)
3. Vitamin C
4. Aloe Vera
5. Collagen supplements
Collagen is an integral part of the extracellular matrix, and red and near-infrared light are integral in supporting the collagen networks of our body. Supporting the health of your extracellular matrix may very well turn out to be far more vital for overall health than we currently understand. Red and near-infrared light therapy has been widely researched and is a proven anti-aging, skin improvement tool that brings numerous positive effects to facial skin and skin all over the body. Repairing damage from UV rays requires that skin be able to repair cellular and DNA damage, much as it does when healing from wounds. Red light does this extremely well through stimulating collagen synthesis and fibroblast formation, anti-inflammatory action, stimulation of energy production in mitochondria, and even stimulating DNA repair.

Regulation of Skin Collagen Metabolism In Vitro Using a Pulsed 660 nm LED Light Source: Clinical Correlation with a Single-Blinded Study. Daniel Barolet, Charles J.Roberge, François A.Auger, AnnieBoucher, LucieGermain
CONCLUSION:Our study showed that LED therapy reversed collagen downregulation and MMP-1 upregulation. This could explain the improvements in skin appearance observed in LED-treated individuals. These findings suggest that LED at 660 nm is a safe and effective collagen-enhancement strategy.

How Cosmetic Acupuncture can be more effective when used in conjunction with red Light Therapy?
Acupuncture and red light therapy are both non-invasive, holistic treatments that can naturally improve the body’s own healing abilities, helping us look and feel our best.
When acupuncture is used in conjunction with red light therapy, patients will first experience those micro-traumas that bring a rush of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the skin’s surface. Then, with the application of light energy, cells are stimulated on the microscopic level, increasing the production of collagen and elastin, and increasing cell turnover.
Acupuncture creates inflammation – it’s all part of the healing process. But when used in conjunction with red light therapy, red light therapy works to reduce that inflammation and provide additional cellular energy, so patients look and feel better more quickly after treatment.

Treatment Plan: To obtain optimal results, a total of 8 – 10 treatments, once or twice a week is recommended. Thereafter, patients can come in every two weeks or once per month for maintenance, depending on individual results
Although, Celluma Light Therapy brings best results when combining it with acupuncture (60min treatment) , it can be done on its own (30min treatment).
- Help to look many years younger
- Firm and uplift sagging skin
- Eliminate puffy eyes and dark circles
- Rejuvenate skin tone, restoring a lustrous glow to face
- Boost skin nutrition and improve hydration making the face look refreshed, increased production of collagen gives the skin more tightness and elasticity
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles: forehead and frown lines, cow's feet, naso - labial groove, wrinkles around mouth and commissures, acne scars, pigmentation marks
- Increase natural Qi(energy) flow, providing complete sense of relaxation and rejuvenation with positive side effects such as reduced stress and improved sleep.
