What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?

Used as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD), Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a painless, non surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process and renewing your body from within.  More than just a cosmetic procedure, the rejuvenation process helps your whole body look and feel better.   A gentle, soothing facial massage follows the treatment.

How does it work?

Your body is comprised of a network of energy pathways called meridians.  Qi (chee) is the life force that travels along these meridian pathways.  Thin needles are gently inserted into specific areas of your face, ears, neck, hands, trunk, and legs along the meridians. Specific points are chosen to balance the movement of energy in the body according to the individual's needs.  Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture improves the facial appearance while simultaneously treating the factors contributing to the aging process.

What can be achieved by treatment?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture may eliminate as many as five to fifteen years from your face. The cumulative stress, tension and emotions held in the face and body are released, allowing your authentic self to emerge.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture can:

Improve firmness of your neck and face
Improve metabolism
Eliminate facial puffiness and bags around your eyes
Eliminate fine lines and diminish appearance of deeper wrinkles
Increase collagen production and cell renewal
Improve hormonal balance and reduce acne
Improve facial color and circulation
Reduce stress signs in your face
Bring out your natural beauty
Slow the aging process from within
Improve the energy and health of your whole body

What is the course of treatment?

The course of treatment consists of 12 sessions.  The treatments are administered twice a week.  The effects become most noticeable and lasting around the seventh session.  Each individual responds differently depending on their constitution and lifestyle.  After the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the results for 5-10 years. Recommendations for at home care such as facial massage, exercise and a healthy diet are tailored to your individual lifestyle. 

Does it really work?

Acupuncture has been treating and preventing illnesses for thousands of years. The efficacy of acupuncture is due to its direct effect on balancing the body's energy system.  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.
