What are the benefits of acupuncture wrinkle removal?
Acupuncture is a traditional method of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture has a therapeutic effect on many diseases and also has a certain effect on beauty. Some people may have heard that acupuncture can remove wrinkles, which is a problem that puzzles many women. So what are the benefits of acupuncture for wrinkle removal? What is the principle of acupuncture wrinkle removal? Let me introduce it to you.

1, wrinkle formation principle

Skin is mainly composed of epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Dermal contains a lot of collagen, elastic fibers and hyaluronic acid, which constitute the skin scaffold. With the increase of age, fibroblast precursor cells decrease at the rate of 1%-2% per year, which leads to the decrease of collagen, elastic fiber and hyaluronic acid. The decrease of collagen leads to uneven collapse of epidermis, thus forming wrinkles.

2. Mechanism of acupuncture wrinkle removal.

Acupuncture wrinkle removal is based on the principle of local tissue hyperemia and edema after acupuncture in modern medicine, and the advantages of superfine magnetic needle are used to stimulate subcutaneous tissue for many times, improve and promote local blood circulation, enhance muscle elasticity, activate hyperplastic granulation, make damaged tissue grow and connect, eliminate wrinkles and stimulate subcutaneous collagen production. Then use a needle instead of a knife to separate the epidermis from the expression muscle, so that the wrinkles depressed by muscle tightening can be released and flattened. Generally speaking, small wrinkles will flatten after 3~7 treatments, and deep wrinkles such as Sichuan wrinkles will need many times.

3. Advantages of acupuncture wrinkle removal

Acupuncture can kill two birds with one stone by eliminating wrinkles, paying attention to body conditioning, coordinating the physiological functions of various organs and accelerating the metabolism of the body. Moreover, acupuncture and moxibustion can kill two birds with one stone, and it is painless and has no sequelae, so it is a good choice for wrinkle removal.

4, acupuncture wrinkle matters needing attention

Although the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion is obvious, the key point to eliminate wrinkles is prevention: pay attention to sun protection, ultraviolet rays will destroy the elastic fibers of dermis; Regular exercise can speed up blood circulation, make the skin get more nutrition and discharge more waste; Pay attention to a balanced diet, drink 6 ~ 8 glasses of water every day, keep your skin moist and not wrinkle easily; Life should be regular, sleep on your back, and it is best to relax your facial skin with a low pillow. Acupuncture can treat both the symptoms and root causes of facial wrinkles, so it can get good therapeutic effect.

5. Causes of wrinkles.

Aging: This is the main cause of wrinkles. Moist, smooth and elastic young skin will gradually age after the age of 25. With the increase of age, the functions of sebaceous glands and sweat glands decline, the skin loses its luster, becomes dry, the subcutaneous fat also decreases, and the skin begins to relax and become inelastic, which is called "aging". Around the age of 30, crow's feet began to appear at the end of the eyes, and wrinkles climbed to the forehead at the age of 40. After 50 years old, there will be "annual rings" on the whole face.

Ultraviolet rays: sunlight is the enemy of the skin. Even if the skin is overexposed to the sun in winter, ultraviolet rays will damage the dermis, making it dry and form small cracks, which are manifested as fine wrinkles on the outside.

Action: Habitual facial movements will aggravate the appearance of wrinkles. For example, people who like meditation have more wrinkles on their foreheads and eyebrows; Emotional people love to cry and laugh, eye lines are easy to appear, and so on.

Weight fluctuation: Weight fluctuation caused by dieting or not paying attention to diet control will lead to sudden decrease or sudden increase of subcutaneous fat. When the skin "eats" fat, if it suddenly loses weight in a short time, the skin will obviously relax and wrinkle.

Defect: The defect of teeth leads to the relaxation of the skin around the mouth. Wrinkles are prominent examples.

Improper maintenance: excessive cleaning or moisturizing will cause wrinkles on the skin. Dry skin feels tight and oily skin becomes more greasy, which is a sign of excessive cleaning. Another example is that the massage is too heavy or in the wrong direction, the mask is applied too many times, the skin care products and cosmetics are too heavy, and the cleansing products and cleansing styles are not equal, which will lead to rough skin and increased wrinkles.

Insufficient rest: Insomnia, staying up late or sleeping incorrectly are most directly reflected on the face. After a long time, the traces of aging will become stronger and stronger.

Smoking: Smoking will increase wrinkles, because carbon monoxide in smoke has stronger adhesion to red blood cells than oxygen. When carbon monoxide adheres to the surface of red blood cells, it will cause hypoxia in tissues and skin. In addition, harmful substances in smoke constantly encroach on blood vessels, affecting the blood circulation of the skin, thus making the skin lose its elasticity and luster, and wrinkles also appear and increase.

Drinking: Excessive drinking will affect the secretion of hormones in the body, thus accelerating skin aging and wrinkles.

Partial eclipse: Modern science and technology have found that food will produce two different reactions, acidic and alkaline. Bioacidic foods in daily life include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, grains and so on. Bioalkaline foods include vegetables, fruits and honey. In daily life, we should pay attention to the combination of the two, otherwise, overeating biological acidic food will easily accumulate lactic acid and phosphoric acid in the body, and the skin will be eroded by acid, thus promoting the appearance of wrinkles. Overeating bio-alkaline foods can easily reduce the acidity of the skin, make bacteria available and make the skin susceptible to infection.

6. Precautions for acupuncture weight loss

1, not "hungry"

Acupuncture weight loss is a step-by-step process, and we don't encourage you to go on an excessive diet in order to lose weight quickly. Because acupuncture itself has the function of suppressing appetite, if dieters go on excessive diet, the energy intake is not enough to support the basic metabolism of the human body, and the weak basic metabolism will lead to a series of organ dysfunction. Moreover, once the needle is stopped, the dieter will rebound quickly after regaining his appetite. Therefore, during your stay in acupuncture weight loss, I suggest you control your appetite properly.

Acupuncture weight loss should have a balanced diet.

Nutritional collocation during weight loss is very important. On the one hand, we should control the calorie intake of food, on the other hand, we should ensure that the body gets enough rich nutrition. Protein should eat as many eggs, chickens, fish, fruits and vegetables as possible, but don't eat fat and sweets.

3. It's not "one shot is effective"

As I said before, acupuncture weight loss is a gradual process, and you can't see that your body has lost weight 1 kg or several kg every few injections. Even if some obese people accept acupuncture weight loss, they will see obvious weight loss effect in the early stage, but because acupuncture mainly helps dieters to establish a new balance by regulating metabolism, only after the new balance is established can these weight losses be meaningful and will not rebound.

4. acupuncture weight loss is suitable for people.

Acupuncture weight loss is only suitable for adult obese patients who are mature in all aspects, because the endocrine and lipid metabolism of adults are relatively mature, and acupuncture can be used for conditioning. If acupuncture weight loss is a growing minor, it is easy to cause endocrine disorders.
