History of the profession

In the 20th century, a group of European scientists worked to develop the most effective treatments for nerve palsy and used acupuncture. The treatment gave not only good results, but also revealed the cosmetic effect of acupuncture. A number of specialists came up with the idea of creating a comprehensive rejuvenation system using acupuncture.

The research was carried out in 1996 by the international journal Acupuncture. As a result, it was found that in 350 patients who underwent acupuncture, the general condition of the body improved, the skin became more elastic, and the muscles became elastic, some wrinkles smoothed out and blood circulation normalized. In some patients, a general rejuvenation of the body was observed.

Facial acupuncture has gained widespread popularity in Europe and the United States. Currently, scientists and medical specialists have found that biologically active points, which are subjected to acupuncture, help to improve the state of the body. During this procedure, blood flow occurs, collagen production increases and hormonal balance is normalized.

Various procedures for acupuncture, acupuncture lifting and other reflex procedures began to be carried out by competent medical specialists - reflex therapists.
