What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is also known as Facial Rejuvenation, Cosmetic Acupuncture or an Acupuncture Facelift. After a thorough discussion of your health history & goals, a series of needles will be placed in your body, followed by scalp & face needles. The needle locations are determined by your specific facial goals. The treatments are individual designed to addressing your general overall health in addition to your facial goals.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, which involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles into the Acupuncture points on the face & body where needed. The needle insertion will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.
A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects include: “The skin becomes delicate, improvement of elasticity of facial muscles, ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation.”
Is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture a new and trendy technique?
Hardly. For thousands of years, the Chinese have known that beauty comes from the inside. At least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) Acupuncture rejuvenation practices were employed for the Empress and the Emperor’s concubines. The Chinese discovered and utilized ways to change the energy flow within the body to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation.
How does it work?
I utilize the meridians that either end or begin at the face to stimulate and balance the energy and at the same time treat the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process. This involves the insertion of hair-thin disposable needles into specific areas on the face, ears, hands, legs and torso. The needles are inserted into the energy pathways or meridians to improve the flow of Qi (energy). As the movement of energy improves, a greater amount of energy and blood are circulated to the face, nourishing, hydrating, toning and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.
At the same time we are attending to the outside (what you see) we can use some additional acupuncture points (usually on the arms and legs) to work on the inside. In this way we are working on the physical appearance and on the underlying factors which influence that.
What are the effects?
Facial Rejuv Acupuncture may erase as many as five to fifteen years from the face, with results apparent after just a few treatments. Fine lines may be entirely eliminated and deeper wrinkles diminished. Bags under the eyes can be reduced, jowls firmed, puffiness eliminated, droopy eyelids lifted and double chins minimized. Other likely results include: moisturizing of the skin with increased local circulation of blood and lymph to the face; increased collagen production, muscle tone, and dermal contraction; tightening of the pores; brightening of the eyes; improving of hormonal balance to help acne; reduction of stress evident in the face – bringing out the innate Beauty and Radiance of an individual.
Why choose Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture over a Face Lift?
While Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is not a replacement for surgery, Acupuncture is an excellent alternative. It is far less expensive than cosmetic surgery and is safe, virtually painless and has no side effects or risk of disfigurement, slight bruising can occasionally occur. This is unlike surgery, which may have an extended recovery period with swelling and discoloration. There is no trauma from Facial Rejuv Acupuncture and if it does not suit you then you can stop with no ill effects. The treatments are specific to the individual’s goals and health conditions and can be modified during the course of treatment to suit individual patients.
What are the benefits of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture may take 5-10 years off your face. It helps to eliminate fine lines and makes the deeper lines look softer. It can also help to minimize dark circles, puffy eyes, double chin and sagging skin.
