Facial Rejenavtion Acupuncture

What is it?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a painless, non-surgical procedure of reducing the signs of the aging process. The procedure involves insertion of hair-thin needles into particular areas of the face and other body parts. Specific points are chosen to manage the flow of energy in the body according to the individual's needs. Many meridians either begin or end on the face while some have internal branches that go to the face. Therefore, it is more than a cosmetic procedure. It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help the whole body look and feel younger.

How does it work?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture helps to improve muscle tone and dermal contraction especially in the face and neck. It has been shown to increase collagen production and aids in its dispersal thus helping to firm the skin and fill out wrinkles. Bags and sagging around the eyes, face, and neck can be significantly reduced and toned up. Healthy facial coloring can be restored and there can be a tightening of the pores. Habitual expressions resulting from stress are transformed, resulting in a remarkably younger, calmer, and less worn looking face.

What is the course of treatment?

Generally, it consists of 12 treatments given twice a week. The effects become most noticeable and lasting on or about the seventh session, though many people notice improvement much sooner. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. Following the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the results for years. It is often recommended to supplement the Facial Rejuvenation program with Facial Self-Massage and/or Acupressure, Herbal and Nutritional Supplements, and a healthy diet.

Does it really make a difference?

The use of Acupuncture in Cosmetology-especially in preventing and reducing wrinkles-has already attracted great attention in Japan, Hong Kong, and Sweden. A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects included: the skin becoming more delicate and fair, improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles and leveling of wrinkles, a rosier complexion, and overall rejuvenation-not confined to the face.

Why choose Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture over a surgical face-lift?

While not a replacement for surgery, Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation is an excellent alternative. It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery and is safe, virtually painless, has no side effects or risk of disfigurement. Unlike surgery that may have an extended recovery period with swelling and discoloration, there is no trauma from Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. While Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture cannot reshape one's nose or chin, it is a more subtle rejuvenation that takes years off one's face safely and naturally while improving overall health.
