How Does It Work?

After the diagnosis, needles are placed. Aesthetic assessment involves evaluating both hypertonic and hypotonic muscles to achieve muscular balance. If you’re wondering if facial muscles can be trained, the answer is yes!

The needles help relax tense muscles—those responsible for expression lines, for example—and tone the flaccid ones. Over the years, as collagen production decreases, these latter contribute to the "gravity effect," leaving you with sagging skin..

The exterior reflects internal imbalances, and if we only treat the surface, results will be less durable.

In addition to acupuncture needles, other beauty aids may be used. At Five Clinic, for example, the method can be combined with laser and/or electrostimulation (to promote collagen production and blood circulation).

Improved skin tone, activation of lymphatic and energetic blood circulation, reduction of wrinkles and expression lines, and delayed aging are among the benefits of these sessions, which last between 30 minutes to an hour.
