Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and Massage brings out your innate beauty and radiance shine …… naturally.  Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture – also called Cosmetic Acupuncture or an Acupuncture Facelift – is a safe and effective non-surgical alternative to plastic surgery and Botox. The use of facial acupuncture has been around since the Sung Dynasty (960AD – 1279AD) to satisfy the aesthetic needs of the empress, the emperor and his concubines.

The treatment basically improves muscle tone, increase collagen production, tighten pores, boost circulation and moisture the skin. Moreover, when acupuncture is used to create overall balance within the body, the physical, mental and emotional patterns that contribute to aging are addressed, resulting in softer, smoother, healthier and more radiant skin. Most patients find that their general health and energy level also improve during a course of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and Massage
Why does skin sag?  According to TCM, wrinkles begin internally from a constitutional imbalance and fundamental weakness  of Qi (pronounced “chee”). Qi circulates throughout the body within a series of pathways called  meridians. Flowing through these pathways, Qi provides nourishment, support, and energy to every cell,
tissue, muscle, and organ.

As we age, it becomes more difficult for Qi to flow upwards to “lift” the face. This leads to inadequate muscle tone, and over time, wrinkles and sagging skin. A variety of factors can contribute to this – poor diet, digestion and circulation, or emotional and environmental stressors.

What is the theory behind? 

The theory behind facial acupuncture is that hair-thin needles inserted along wrinkles and frown lines, the body reacts by sending red blood cells and critical nutrients to the area, essentially stimulating a local immune response. Once the needle is removed, the body quickly realizes that it’s not actually under attack

and calls off the immune response. In the meantime, those areas on the face where needles were placed have been flooded with a new supply of blood and nutrients. This stimulates the production of collagen, the protein responsible for tightness and vibrancy in the skin.

What is the course of treatment?

Generally, a facial rejuvenation succession contains of 12 once a week or bi-weekly treatments. During the first small number assemblies, one will commence to observe a brightening of the complexion. By about the 6th or 7th assembly resurgence in facial sound and reducing of lines becomes more apparent. The effects are not as striking as a surgical facelift. Rather, the modifications are piecemeal over the course of numerous weeks. By the end of a succession, the face is raised and radiant, wrinkles are reduced,
and facial sound and shade of color are markedly improved. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her condition and lifestyle prior to treatment.
