What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a pampering and highly effective way of enhancing radiant beauty from the inside out. The use of acupuncture for cosmetic purposes by the empress and emperor's concubines has been documented since at least as early as the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 AD) in China, and today is used as a safe, natural, and health-promoting alternative to medical face-lifts and skin treatments.
Because we are focusing not just on the face but on the whole body, treatment promotes overall health and well-being. Benefits of a facial rejuvenation series include:
- improves muscle tone and dermal contraction
- increases collagen production
- helps to reduce and eliminate bags under the eyes
- decreases the tendency towards sagging and jowls
- helps to eliminate puffiness by improving metabolism, thus eliminating excess fluids
- helps to eliminate fine lines and has a diminishing effect on larger wrinkles
- improves hormonal balance, including for benefiting those with hormonal acne
- moisturizes the skin by increasing local circulation of blood and lymph to face
- improves facial color by the increase of peripheral circulation
- reduces or eliminates double chins
- tightens the pores
- brightens the eyes
- helps to lift drooping eyelids
- reduces stress evident in the face
- brings out a person's innate beauty and radiance
- slows the aging process, from within
- delays the hair turning grey and the loss of hair associated with aging
- benefits vision, hearing, sinuses, thyroid balance, and brain function
The treatments are deeply relaxing and pampering, and includes a facial massage protocol. Results are best and can last from 2 to 5 years with a series of treatments, and sessions last from 1.5 – 2 hours. One patient's words: "I am really seeing and feeling a change in my face - it feels so lively and vibrant and it looks like I have more contours! I love it!" As a practitioner, it brings me great joy when my patients tell me they love their face.
