A place for healing, balance and relaxation!
Acupuncture focuses on Qì (energy flows), with the aim of restoring energy balance and removing blockages in the energy flow. By carefully placing small needles at specific points on the body, balance is restored.
Cosmetic acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture is a specific branch of acupuncture that focuses on the face and its appearance. The goal of this treatment is not only to reduce wrinkles, but above all to achieve inner balance, which translates into a radiant appearance.
The treatment involves two aspects. The ancient Chinese believed that the ‘Shen’, or spiritual energy, manifests itself in the face as a beautiful radiance. This requires an overall balance in the body, where the body, emotions and thoughts are considered as one whole.
Cosmetic acupuncture strategically places needles to reduce wrinkles and puffiness, but the focus is on treating the whole person. This includes nutritional and exercise advice, as well as Chinese Yoga (Qigong) exercises, because our nervous system and mind are directly connected to our appearance and sense of well-being.
Cosmetic acupuncture focuses on strengthening the life force, called Qi, especially in the face, resulting in improved skin and appearance. In addition to local facial treatments, the total condition of the individual is also considered. Dietary advice is also part of the treatment, with sugar being avoided, for example, as it undermines the spleen energy.
An intake interview is required to discuss the steps and motivation of the client. Cosmetic acupuncture is not seen as an isolated beauty treatment, but as an alternative therapy to regain balance and feel good about yourself.
The benefits
Self-Healing Support: Our Commitment to Your Body Nature
Our goal is to treat patients using traditional acupuncture techniques and homeopathic remedies prepared from all-natural ingredients.
Neuroimmunology and the skin
Recent research has shown that the skin and immune system are intimately connected to the nervous system. Specific immune cells, called dendritic cells, are even present in the skin. Both the skin and the nervous system belong to the same type of tissue, the ectoderm. Modern psychoneuroimmunology has emphasized how strongly the mind, immune system and nervous system interact with each other. Therefore, modern forms of neuroacupuncture are now being applied in cosmetic acupuncture, as a logical step based on recent insights.
Method
The intake begins with a conversation in which your complaints are discussed in detail, together with your general health and medical history. Then follows the treatment, in which thin needles are placed on the body.
The treatment consists of at least 10 sessions of 45 minutes, during which ‘homework’ is given. We usually start with 2 treatments per week. After this series, clients often choose a maintenance treatment once a month.
For those who are a bit anxious about their first treatment, extra thin needles can be used. Experience shows that acupuncture gives a relaxing and pleasant tingling sensation rather than being painful. All needles are sterile packed and for single use for optimum hygiene.
After the initial treatments, weekly follow-up sessions are scheduled. As treatment progresses, the intervals between sessions are gradually extended.
Classical Acupuncture and Pediatric Acupuncture
Have you ever considered looking outside of traditional medical approaches for solutions to your health issues? Whether they are physical, emotional or mental, Swiss Allure Voorschoten is here to help!
In short, the body's energy circulates through energy pathways known as meridians, which connect each organ. These meridians form a complex network that transports energy throughout the body.
In a healthy state, the energy balance of the human body is stable. When this balance is disturbed, it can lead to illness.
Usually the body can correct this disturbance itself. If this is not possible, acupuncture can be considered.
The acupuncture points are located along the meridians. By stimulating these points with fine needles, an acupuncturist can influence the energy flow in the body.
Electro Acupuncture
Electroacupuncture is an intriguing addition to traditional acupuncture methods, in which electrical current is applied to the needles. This technique sometimes enhances the therapeutic effects, especially in pain treatments. It is often used in difficult-to-treat pain syndromes and in the treatment of paralysis after a stroke.
A treatment session usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, with effects being immediately noticeable. A combination of 2 Hertz and 100 Hertz is often used for optimal pain relief. This technique, researched by Prof. Dr. Han, provides immediate and long-term pain relief, which is especially valuable in the treatment of chronic pain syndromes.
