Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
A treatment system using the ancient art of Chinese Medicine to lessen the signs of aging without the risks associated with surgery.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture aims to correct the signs of aging, both through local treatment of the facial area and addressing the constitutional causes in the body.

How Does Facial Rejuvenation Work?
Using designated points on the skin, the acupuncturist inserts fine needles thereby affecting the body’s energy, or Qi. Acupuncture increases blood and energy circulation throughout the body and stimulates the nerve receptors. By accessing some of these points, the acupuncturist seeks to improve luster by increasing circulation to the face with increased blood flow, decreased swelling by draining toxic waste, and by promoting collagen production to provide a more supple skin and muscle tone. People look and feel younger and faces improve in shape, color, and texture.

When Should I See the Results?
The full treatment course consists of 12 treatments over the span of 6 continuous weeks. Results may be seen as early as the first treatment, but it is usually around the seventh treatment that the results are the most dramatic. This can vary from individual to individual. You can stop treatments at any time but best results are obtained by following the entire protocol. If you are having treatments primarily to enhance recovery from surgery or to treat facial paralysis, fewer or greater treatments might be needed.

What May I Expect?
Results from Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture are based on individual clients and their willingness to participate in beneficial lifestyle changes. Results often last from 3 to 5 years, but maintenance treatments are recommended monthly. According to a report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture, 270 people out of 300 treated with Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture had noticeable effects with only one course of treatment. Because of its effectiveness, it is now increasing in popularity throughout North America and Europe. Like surgical facelifts, neither the actual outcome nor the length of effects can be guaranteed.

Are there other benefits to Facial Rejuvenation?
The acupuncturist uses systems based the ancient principles of Oriental Medicine. Because of the holistic approach of treating the spirit, mind and body, these treatments do more than help to reduce wrinkles and sagging. They benefit the rejuvenation and revitalization of the entire body. Because specific points are chosen based on individual needs, clients often experience ‘side effects’ of improved digestion and vigor, more restful sleep, increased mental clarity, and the reduction in symptoms of chronic disease.
