Habitual thoughts and their corresponding emotions alter our face, at times marking the face with worry.  The treatment not only makes the lines diminish but also changes the way your nerves and muscles work, which can help you think and feel differently.

This procedure is not only cosmetic, but it alters your nervous system.   You will not only Look and you will Feel Better & Behave Differently. 

Dr. Pourhassani, DACM, LAc only specializes in cosmetic acupuncture for worry lines.

Prior to the procedure being provided a consultation and evaluation with the doctor is required to assess if you are a good candidate, to assess your skin and health, in order to provide you with realistic expectations.  The younger and healthier you are, the faster the results.  Unlike botox, this procedure is long-lasting, and may be an alternative to those consider plastic surgery for the forehead lines.

Contraindications: (If you have any of these problems you cannot have cosmetic acupuncture):  pregnancy, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled migraines, severe neurological conditions, history of a strokes, or had brain surgery recently.

How does this work? Acupuncture stimulate fibroblast proliferation and neoangiogenesis, and extended the period of collagen fibre reorganisation. What does this mean? It means acupuncture helps your skin make new cells and blood vessels. It also changes the collagen in your skin, making it firmer.

Does it alter habitual changes in emotional expression on the face? Yes, a reduction of depressive symptoms through an alteration of the limbic system and motor system . This can be explained by the disruption of facial feedback loops, which may moderate and reinforce the experience of negative emotions.  This means it changes the way you feel: it can help reduce feelings of sadness and worry by changing how your brain and muscles work together. It stops the usual feedback your face gives when you’re sad, which can help improve your mood.

Can you go to any acupuncturist?  Dr. Pourhassani was taught how to this procedure by a Korean cosmetic acupuncturist who lives in Korea.
