Cosmetic Acupuncture at Union Center for Healing

This past spring, I was invited to try Cosmetic Acupuncture at the Union Center for Healing in Seattle. I've never done this before and was excited to see what my results could be. While it's not a replacement for Botox or other cosmetic fillers, this is a non-invasive, holistic alternative to look more youthful in a natural way.

What makes UCFH's treatments unique is that they focus on your overall constitution, not just the face. Health factors, stress, diet, and environmental stressors inevitably show up on your complexion. For example, if you have liver issues, it will show up on your upper cheek area. With that in mind, your acupuncturist will offer lifestyle advice to improve your results. 

Ten weekly sessions are recommended but twice weekly is ideal for those with advanced aging. Electro stimulation may be included as needed. I noticed initial results after a few sessions and by the tenth one my forehead looked visibly smoother. It didn't erase all the fine lines but my face looked more toned and had a vibrant glow. My overall health and vitality has also improved, so it's a win-win.

The first 90-minute visit is $150, a 60-minute return visit is $120. A package of five is $525, ten is $1,000.

Union Center for Healing is located at 2100 East Union Street (206-329-2060). For more info: unioncenterforhealing.com/cosmetic-acupuncture.

I have high tolerance but they have super thin needles for those who are squeamish.
