Oriental Perspective of Beauty
In the ancient texts, a beautiful face was defined as a “clear
face which reflects the Shen or Spirit”. It has color, radiance
and expression.
How Does It Work ?
Fine needles are placed on acupuncture points on the face
and neck to stimulate the body’s Qi, or energy.
Muscle groups are addressed as well as the acupuncture
points, so the face lifts itself, via the acupuncture points,
through the muscles’ toning and tightening action.
The needles also stimulate blood and circulation, which
improves facial color.
