Acupuncture technology is a great invention in ancient China, which has made important contributions to human health care for thousands of years. As early as the beginning of the 6th century, it spread to foreign countries. After the founding of New China, academic and scientific research on acupuncture and moxibustion has been widely carried out in various places, which has made great progress, unprecedented popularization and rapid development. It not only expands its application scope, enriches its stimulation forms, deepens its principle discussion, but also successfully creates acupuncture anesthesia and acupuncture beauty. Acupuncture beauty is also called "rejuvenation" and "painless plastic surgery".

What is acupuncture beauty therapy?

Acupuncture and moxibustion cosmetology is a method to protect skin, beautify, delay aging and treat facial dermatosis by stimulating local skin and acupoints on the basis of the overall concept of traditional Chinese medicine. It has the characteristics of simplicity, non-toxicity, safety, reliability, quick response and wide indications.

Acupuncture beauty includes acupuncture and moxibustion. Among them, the acupuncture method is to use silver needles to penetrate into acupoints and affected skin, and then apply appropriate techniques to make patients feel sore and numb, cold and hot, so as to achieve the purpose of beauty and fitness. Moxibustion is to put moxa sticks and other drugs at corresponding acupoints and parts and ignite them with fire. Through the penetration of drugs and local thermal effects, the body produces various physiological reactions to achieve the purpose of beauty, anti-aging and treatment.

Preparation before acupuncture

Selection needle

Needles made of stainless steel are mostly used for acupuncture and beauty. Because the facial and auricular points are selected for acupuncture beauty, the skin and muscles of the head and face are shallow, so it is not appropriate to choose the needle to be too long, and the length of the needle body should be 0.5 ~ 2 inches.

Choose a body position

Beauty seekers who acupuncture scalp and facial acupoints can take a lying position or a sitting position, and it is best to take a lying position where conditions permit, because lying position is more comfortable and lasting, and it can also prevent or reduce the occurrence of acupuncture dizziness.

In addition, before acupuncture, beginners should be well explained, so that they can understand the common sense of acupuncture, eliminate tension and make acupuncture treatment play a better role.

disinfect

Needles can be sterilized by boiling or autoclaving, or soaked in 75% alcohol for 30 minutes, and then taken out to dry. After acupoint selection, skin is generally disinfected with 1% iodine, and then deiodized with 75% alcohol.

The operator's fingers should also be disinfected to avoid infection. Wash your hands with soapy water first, dry them and wipe them with 75% alcohol.

Pay attention to the angle and depth of acupuncture.

The muscles of the head and face are not very rich, so it is generally suitable for oblique needling, where the needle body and the skin are inclined at an angle of 45 degrees, or along the skin, and the needle body and the skin are stabbed at an angle of about 15 degrees.

Points for attention in acupuncture and moxibustion

Due to people's physiological functions and living conditions, acupuncture should also pay attention to the following aspects:

When the beauty seeker is too hungry, tired and nervous, acupuncture should not be carried out immediately.

Pregnant women should be careful to puncture, generally prohibited in the first 3 months of pregnancy to avoid miscarriage. Do not use acupuncture during menstruation.

If there are infections, ulcers, scars or tumors on the skin, it is not suitable for acupuncture.

Acupuncture is not suitable for beauty seekers who often spontaneously bleed or bleed after injury.

Taboo points for scalp acupuncture: Taboo points for scalp acupuncture recorded in ancient Chinese medicine, such as Chengqiku, Hui Zong, Naohu, Shenting and Yuzhen.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that appearance is only a part of the organic whole of human body, and its rise and fall are closely related to viscera, meridians and qi and blood. Only when the viscera function is normal and the qi and blood are vigorous can youth stay. Therefore, beauty should start with nourishing viscera and regulating meridian qi and blood, which is the real and fundamental beauty method. Acupuncture beauty is based on this overall concept, which nourishes viscera and qi, protects the body, and makes health and beauty complement each other.

Practice has proved that acupuncture and beauty has a remarkable effect on chloasma, acne, verruca plana, senile plaque and alopecia. There is no absolute contraindication for acupuncture and beauty, and proper cooperation with any therapy can improve the curative effect; Moreover, compared with the western beauty methods that only focus on local skin nutrition to beautify the face, acupuncture beauty has a more stable and lasting effect, which is also an important reason why acupuncture beauty has been paid more and more attention. It can be asserted that acupuncture and moxibustion beauty will have a great leap-forward development in the new century.
