Beauty Acupuncture in Osaka: KADOMORI | Expected Benefits and Recommended Treatments

Do you know the treatment called beauty acupuncture? Its popularity has been climbing in recent years, with celebrities posting photos of their sessions on social media. If you want a mental image, “acupuncture” is the easy reference. Needles are placed directly in the body, and a variety of benefits can be expected. Beauty acupuncture is acupuncture specialized for beauty. This article introduces the benefits you can expect from beauty acupuncture, and the treatments that pair with it for even greater effect.

What Benefits Can You Expect from Beauty Acupuncture?

Beauty acupuncture is a treatment that can influence beauty in many ways by placing needles at acupoints and muscles. Its appeal lies in its immediacy — you can feel the effects right after a session.

Let’s first explain the mechanism behind its effects, dividing it into action on the skin and action on the muscles.
First, action on the skin. The skin consists of three layers, and beauty acupuncture places needles into the middle one — the dermis — creating tiny wounds. The natural healing power humans inherently possess then goes to work repairing them, harnessing the function that promotes the production of skin-beautifying components and guiding the skin toward beauty.
As for action on the muscles: countless blood vessels run through them. When blood flow worsens, muscles tense, causing stiffness and tightness. Conversely, when blood flow is good, muscles relax and stiffness tends to improve.
Blood flow is also governed by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Placing needles shifts dominance to the parasympathetic system, which dilates blood vessels, so improved blood flow can be expected. Stimulating the muscles can also be expected to guard against muscular aging.
And a hallmark of beauty acupuncture: because it stimulates acupoints, it acts on the whole body.
Now let’s look at its benefits in detail.

A Lifting Effect

Muscles play a crucial role in the contour of the face. Stimulating the facial expression muscles with needles can be expected to loosen muscles that had drooped and stiffened. Once loosened, the muscles naturally tighten, showing the contour more cleanly — so a lifting effect can be expected.

Improving Sagging

As the lifting effect is joined by renewed firmness in the skin, improvement in sagging can also be expected. Drooping is caused not only by descending muscles but by skin that has lost its firmness. When both improve, the skin also tightens — and firm, elastic skin can be yours.

Resolving Nasolabial Folds and a Double Chin

Nasolabial folds and a double chin — sources of worry as the years pass — are often attributed to sagging skin that has lost firmness and elasticity. Improving the sagging leads to improvement not only in nasolabial folds but in wrinkles too. As for a double chin, lifting can be expected to bring improvement.

Improving a Prominent Jaw

Aside from bone structure, jaw prominence is caused by development of the masseter muscle. Clenching or a poor bite develops and stiffens the masseter, making the jaw look flared.
Placing needles to loosen the masseter can be expected to bring improvement.

Better Skin Through Improved Circulation

Poor circulation can be caused not only by constricted vessels but by stiffened muscles. Rigid muscles press on the vessels, which cannot dilate fully, and blood stops circulating well. Placing needles loosens the muscles while shifting dominance to the parasympathetic system; the vessel-dilating action kicks in and improved circulation can be expected. With better blood flow, nutrients reach the skin more easily — so improvement in skin troubles like dullness and disrupted turnover can be expected as well.

Beauty Acupuncture Is Recommended for People Like This!

We introduced the appeal of beauty acupuncture above. So who, concretely, does it help? Here are six kinds of people for whom beauty acupuncture is recommended.

Those Who Want a Lifted Look

If weakened or stiffened muscles have disturbed your facial line, beauty acupuncture may bring improvement. Stimulating the muscles promises a lifting effect and a cleaner facial line.

Those Concerned About Sagging or Nasolabial Folds

When skin loses firmness and elasticity, concerns like sagging and wrinkles arise. Beauty acupuncture stimulates the dermis and promotes the production of skin-beautifying components — collagen and elastin — so regaining firmness and elasticity can be expected. That in turn leads to improvement in sagging, wrinkles, and nasolabial folds.

Those Who Want to Clear Away Puffiness

Through its circulation-boosting effect, improvement in puffiness can also be expected. Better circulation promotes the expulsion of waste. And when puffiness clears, a smaller-face effect can be expected too.

Those Who Want to Resolve a Double Chin and Reveal Their Facial Line

As lifting and sagging improve, improvement in a double chin can also be expected. With the double chin improved, a clean facial line emerges, the neck looks longer — and a smaller-face effect follows.

Those Concerned About a Prominent Jaw

If a developed masseter is making your jaw look flared, loosening it can be expected to bring improvement. The masseter tightens readily with clenching, teeth grinding, and a poor bite, so daily awareness helps prevent recurrence. For grinding or bite problems, consider consulting a dentist as well.

Those Interested in Anti-Aging, Better Skin Quality, or Troubled Skin

Skin trouble arises readily from waste accumulation and disrupted turnover caused by poor circulation. Promote circulation to clear the causes of skin trouble from within, and gain healthy skin.
Production of skin-beautifying components like collagen and elastin declines with age. Promoting them can also be expected to bring a younger look and better skin quality.
