Best Botox Alternative in the Pacific Northwest

Looking 5-15 years younger sounds great, doesn’t it? Let’s see what that involves…

First of all, let’s examine what happens to the skin as we age: Over time, the structure of our collagen begins to break down, skin hydration decreases, and muscle tone weakens. The combination of these factors decreases the elasticity of the skin, allowing gravity to deeply impact us to cause sagging and wrinkling of the skin. This muscle tone loss happens over time, so repeated facial expressions start to hold imprints. The effects are increased lines, wrinkles and folds, loose saggy tissue and an inability to appear calm, relaxed and healthy.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are holistic by nature. To treat any condition with this medicine, one needs to look at the whole system. Chinese medicine acknowledges that emotion are not just chemicals in the brain but live in the body and are associated with organ functions. Our state of health is determined by a combination of physical, emotional and mental factors.

For example, stress can show up with symptoms of body tension, neck pain, headaches, stomachaches, loose stool or constipation, high blood pressure, insomnia, or many other possible symptoms. If we only treat the symptom without looking at possible causes or emotional correlations, the person may continuously recreate the condition.

Discovering parallels between the ancient and modern understanding of the human body can add depth to discussion. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are based on ancient principles of nature. The energy, qi, yin and yang discussed in this medicine can be explored through modern sciences such as biology and physics.
