The Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture System ™ is a safe and exciting nontoxic alternative to plastic surgery, Botox injections and other invasive procedures. It is relatively painless and requires no recovery time. The superficial needling technique brings increased energy (Qi) and blood flow to the face and can improve or increase the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, fine lines begin to disappear and deep lines get smoother. Other reported benefits of Mei Zen Acupuncture are softer skin, more even skin tones, improved muscle tone and firmer jaw lines. It is also known to reduce and sometimes eliminate rosacea and acne.
