Hillary Morris (formally Heidelberg) is excited to offer Cosmetic Acupuncture, a safe alternative to Botox and other injectables, at her Stuart location. Cosmetic Acupuncture is also referred to as “Acupuncture Facelifts.” 

 “Cosmetic acupuncture involves the insertion of 30-50 very fine needles into acupuncture points in and around frown lines and wrinkles,” says Morris. “At the same time, my patients receive a Traditional Chinese Medicine wellness treatment; this aspect of the session is geared towards resolving deeper skin issues and promoting the circulation of Qi (energy) in the body.”  

Morris further explains, “The needles are placed to cause “micro-trauma” to the facial tissue, which induces the production of collagen and elastin, smoothing lines and plumping-up facial tissue. Blood flow is also stimulated, reducing inflammation throughout the body. Not only used for a more youthful appearance, the needles stimulate Qi flow leaving the patient relaxed and energized. And unlike the short-term results of Botox, long-term changes in the patient’s overall skin-health is the goal.”

A series of 6 to 12 treatments is recommended, with sessions scheduled weekly. An additional session every 4 to 8 weeks for maintenance is suggested. Stuart Acupuncture is currently offering a series of 6 or 12 treatments at a discount. For more information, call 772-266-8165, visit StuartAcupuncture.com or email [email protected].
