Facial Rejuvenation
woman Acupuncture and herbal therapy have been used for many years in the successful treatment of Bell’s palsy, stroke, and other cases of facial paralysis and loss of sensation. If acupuncture can lift a drooling mouth or a drooping eyelid on an severely impaired person with serious lack of local circulation then imagine what it can do for a relatively healthy person with sagging skin and wrinkles. With the increasing preoccupation with appearance treatments were adapted for more cosmetic purposes. Cosmetic acupuncture still relies on the same principles as regular acupuncture. The root issues of hormonal imbalance, stress, etc. are still addressed. The difference is that points are added to stimulate the flow of Qi in the face and superficially to the skin.
In 1996 it was reported by the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture that in a clinical study of 300 patients treated with Facial Acupuncture significant results were achieved in 90% of cases after one course of treatment. The results included: increased skin firmness and leveling of wrinkles, the skin becoming more even-toned, improvement of the tonicity of facial muscles, as well as a general increased look of well-being not just in the face.
What results to expect

Acupuncture cannot change the structure of your face. Typically you can expect a difference of about 5-15 years taken from the face. Acupuncture can increase circulation, stimulate collagen production, and stimulate muscles. Results are faster the younger and healthier the patient. As underlying problems are addressed through detoxifying the body, normalizing digestion, and regulating hormonal function, the face and eyes will automatically begin to glow. As the body regains vitality so does the appearance. Women should begin treating sagging skin at around age 35. If you have a genetic tendency towards wrinkles begin by your late 20's.

What to expect from treatment

Treatment time is about 15-30 min. longer than a regular acupuncture treatment (75-90 min. total). A commitment of twice a week for five weeks for maximum benefit, followed by increasingly spaced out maintenance treatments.

The actual treatment involves body acupuncture which may be combined with different Traditional Asian Meidical (TAM) modalities such as facial cupping, light therapy, and/or facial acupuncture depending on the condition and desired results

Cautions and Contraindications

Headache or serious illness must be resolved prior. Rejuvenation requires extra energy to rebuild itself which are already being consumed when ill.

As with regular acupuncture we do our best not to bruise but bruising is always a possibility when piercing the skin. This is a temporary condition.

Results require that there be adequate protein intake in the diet so that the body has a store of energy from which to draw.
