Cosmetic Dry needling
Cosmetic dry needling, also known as facial cosmetic dry needling, is a natural skin-improvement method that is gaining popularity all over the world due to its anti-aging qualities. The goal of Circle of Life Rehab Clinic’s all-inclusive and customised approach to facial cosmetic dry needling is to revitalise your skin and highlight its natural beauty.
The Process
Taking a complete medical background
Your journey to face rejuvenation begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Wang will take the time to learn about your current problems, aesthetic goals, and any medical history that may affect the treatment plan. This will consist of:
- Present Skin Issues: Tense spots, fine lines, wrinkles, or sagging.
- Medical History: Any skin disorders (such as rosacea or eczema), allergies, or prior cosmetic procedures.
- Lifestyle and behaviours: Your regular skincare regimen, your level of stress, and any behaviours you may have that could be causing tension in your face muscles, such as clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth.
- Expectations and Goals: Describe your objectives for facial dry needling as well as any particular regions you would like to concentrate on.
This thorough history-taking guarantees a safe and efficient treatment plan that is tailored to your objectives and particular requirements.
Facial Structural Analysis and Examination
Dr. Wang will then perform a thorough examination of your muscle tone and facial shape. This comprises:
- Facial Muscle Analysis: For the tone and tension of your facial muscles, Dr. Wang will look for any tight spots or imbalances that might be causing wrinkles or discomfort.
- Skin Condition and Texture Analysis: To make sure that the treatment takes care of your particular skin issues, Dr Wang will evaluate the elasticity and quality of your skin.
- Check for Movement and Symmetry: Dr. Wang will watch how your facial muscles move while you make certain facial expressions, looking for any imbalances or restricted movement, especially in the jaw and mouth regions.
Dr. Wang uses this evaluation to assess which areas of treatment are most beneficial and whether further methods, like joint mobilisation, are required.
Treatment
Dr. Wang will apply the following treatments to revitalise your skin and accentuate your inherent beauty following the results of your evaluation:
- Facial Dry Needling: Facial dry needling involves inserting sterile, extremely tiny needles into certain facial trigger sites and tense muscles. Relaxing tense muscles, increasing blood flow, and boosting collagen synthesis are the objectives. This procedure improves skin tone and texture, lifts sagging skin, and lessens the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Low-force chiropractic adjustments (if required): Dr. Wang may use mild chiropractic adjustments to reduce pain and restore movement if there is tension in the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) or other facial joints. This aids in addressing underlying joint problems that can cause discomfort and stress in the face.
- Soothing Toner: Following the procedure, your face will be treated with a soothing toner to assist soothe the skin, minimise any possible redness, and aid in pore closure, leaving your skin feeling moisturised and renewed.
Improvements in skin look and facial mobility are both immediate and long-lasting when dry needling and chiropractic treatments are used in tandem.
Post Treatment Care
To optimise the advantages of your face rejuvenation, Dr. Wang will walk you through a post-treatment care plan following your procedure:
- Home Care Advice: To preserve and nourish your skin, Dr. Wang will recommend certain skincare products or regimens to adhere to, such as moisturisers, serums, or sunscreen.
- Facial Exercises: Dr. Wang might suggest mild facial exercises that you can do at home to preserve muscle tone and encourage relaxation in specific regions. These exercises can help avoid future muscle stiffness and improve the treatment’s effects.
- Lifestyle and Habit Advice: To promote long-term facial health, Dr. Wang may also offer advice on behaviours that lead to face strain, such as clenching the jaw, as well as strategies for stress reduction or posture correction.
Dr. Wang makes sure you get the most out of your facial cosmetic dry-needling treatment by teaching you self-maintenance and correct care, which encourages long-term benefits and natural beauty.
Pre Teatments Advise
To maximise the benefits of your Facial Cosmetic Dry Needling (FCDN) session, we recommend heeding these pretreatment recommendations. The following tips will help prepare your skin and enhance your treatment experience:
Steer clear of makeup
To provide a thorough facial examination, we recommend removing your makeup prior to your Facial Cosmetic Dry Needling (FCDN) procedure. Lastly, if cleansing is not possible, hypoallergenic face wipes shall be used.
For Customers Who Are Men
Shaving is not necessary, however, if you would want treatment for the lower part of your face, we recommend it. Shaving facilitates better access to the treatment area, which makes it easier to assess the condition of the skin and provides a stronger treatment. Beards can occasionally obstruct the treatment area, making it more challenging to work with.
Facial Herpes Precaution
If you are prone to cold sores or facial herpes, we recommend starting any regular medication a week before your appointment. Skin penetration, such as dry needling, can trigger an outbreak, and it’s important to take precautions.
Time for Female Customers
Treatments should not be scheduled for female clients during the premenstrual period, since this may increase skin sensitivity. This can be discussed for future planning during your routine visits if you are an existing client.
Bruising Risk
Bruising at the treatment site is a minor danger. If this worries you, instead of going to events, think about packing concealer or making your appointment so you can leave right away.
Cosmetic Items
You should let us know if you currently use potent cosmetics (like retinol). Since some products may create dryness or inflammation that could affect the effectiveness of your therapy, we might advise you to temporarily stop using them.
Steer clear of other cosmetic procedures while receiving FCDN treatment
It is advised to refrain from undergoing further cosmetic surgeries while undergoing FCDN treatments to avoid any inflammation or problems. This guarantees that the dry needling procedure alone is responsible for any outcomes.
Consent of the Patient
You will be required to complete a Patient Consent Form before the start of your treatment. To make sure you comprehend the course of therapy and consent to continue, this is a routine procedure.
