Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a centuries old practice. It is a gentle, effective, and safe way to combat the signs of aging and erase years from your face without the risk or downtime of surgery or injections. Acupuncture offers many benefits to those who want to revitalize the look and feel of their skin. It builds collagen, tones muscles, improves circulation, and stimulates blood flow with no risk of scars, infections, rashes, or toxic build-up of chemicals.
This treatment is much more than a cosmetic procedure. Acupuncture changes the energy flow within the body and initiates the process for constitutional rejuvenation. If energy is not flowing freely throughout your body then your organs, muscles and lymphatic system cannot function properly, which can contribute to puffiness, bags and premature aging.
As you age, the 57 muscles in your face gradually lose their tone and mass. Loss of tone and mass causes the sagging, deep wrinkling and tired look associated with aging. Using this holistic approach, not only do your frown lines disappear, you feel better overall, sleep better, have more energy and better digestion. Acupuncture stimulates the muscle function, and the face lifts itself via the acupuncture points. This returns the face to a healthier, revitalized, youthful appearance.
Hair-thin needles are placed in the outside of the ear to induce relaxation, and body points are used which correspond the individual’s specific needs. There is a sense of well being as a flood of endorphins is released throughout the body. Once you are in a state of deep relaxation, needles are placed on the face in acupuncture points as well as wrinkles. The needles placed in the wrinkles create a micro trauma, which causes collagen to be produced.
Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture employs the use of the highest quality, pre-sterilized, disposable acupuncture needles inserted gently around the face, neck and scalp. Body points are also used to address underlying causes contributing to the aging process. While your skin is reacting to the subtle stimulation, the treatment is also adjusting the energy throughout your entire body. The treatment finishes with a gentle massage of the face, and facial exercises designed to further enhance your treatment.
Each treatment is 90 minutes long and is part of a 6-12 weekly treatment series. Your first session will last 1.5-2 hours. Maintenance sessions are scheduled according to the individual’s needs after the initial series. You may see changes as soon as the first treatment is completed, but each succeeding treatment builds on the last.
Facial Rejuvenation F.A.Q.
Is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture a new and trendy technique?
Hardly. For thousands of years, the Chinese have known that beauty comes from the inside. As early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) acupuncture rejuvenation practices were employed for the Empress and the Emperor’s concubines. The Chinese discovered ways to change the energy flow within the body to initiate the process for rejuvenation. Increased circulation helps the body look and feel better.
Does it really work?
A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that in 300 cases treated with Facial Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The documented effects included: improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles, leveling of wrinkles, and overall rejuvenation–not confined to face.
