What is the facial (cosmetic or rejuvenation) acupuncture?
Like our body there are acupuncture points along the course of the meridians covering our face. A
subtle energy called Qi circulates via the meridians to all parts of the body. As with the body when
these acupuncture points are stimulated it induces circulation of Qi of the face, and then the blood of
the face will be pushed to circulate by Qi. According to TCM theory, the blood would not
automatically circulate by itself if there was no push of Qi. So the regular stimulation will increase
complexion, tone, elasticity and glow of the face.
Deep wrinkles such as frown lines and laugh lines can be released safely, naturally and risk free with
acupuncture. Fine acupuncture needles are inserted just below the skin where the “fold” of the wrinkle
is. Plus the electro-stimulation the deep wrinkles are “loosened” gently and naturally. Results and
number of sessions varies depending on the “depth” of line. Unlike injections the face will not loose its
suppleness or expressions.
With cosmetic acupuncture, 90% clients have marked improvement in their faces and experience an
overall rejuvenation that is not confined to the face. This is a good reason to call the facial (cosmetic
or rejuvenation) acupuncture procedures "anti-aging treatments" because they affect your overall
health in a positive way. You will look and feel younger. In some ways, you will actually be younger
because your energetic systems will be working better. Your outward beauty and youthful
appearance will be the result of inner fitness.
What Causes Wrinkles?
The exact cause of facial wrinkles is not yet fully understood. There are many known factors which
contribute to wrinkling and we believe it is a combination of these factors: age, nutrition, ultraviolet,
medication, chemicals, stress, fatigue, and so on.
How Does The Facial Acupuncture Work To Eliminate Or Reduce And Prevent Facial Lines
And Wrinkles?
The facial acupuncture stimulates some specific points on the body, neck and face to tonify and
energize the skin's underlying tissue. It can promote the circulation of Qi and blood in the face. That
means it can enhance the circulation of facial tissues; stimulate facial cell growth and renewal; produce
a new glow to face and a new vitality to body. Increased blood circulation to your face moistens your
skin and promotes collagen production for increased muscle tone and elasticity (this is what keeps
wrinkles from forming). It's wrinkle prevention at its best! From a Western medicine perspective, it is
thought that the needling brings more collagen and elastin to the face.
What Is The Difference Between A Facial Acupuncture And A Surgical Face Lift?
The facial acupuncture can tonify and energize the skin’s underlying tissue, so the skin naturally
tightens itself. But the surgical approach is largely a structural approach which tightens the skin much
like a tailor takes in or tightens the waist on a pair of trousers. And through the use of facial
acupuncture treatments and manipulations, various facial conditions can be improved.
What Are The Advantages Of The Facial Acupuncture?
What Are The Disadvantages Of The Facial Acupuncture?
The facial acupuncture does not work for everybody. It doesn’t produce as dramatic a change as
surgical face lifts. The facial acupuncture can reduce or diminish wrinkles but not completely eliminate
them and it is not effective on severely damaged skin.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
We recommend a series of 12 treatments over a 4 to 6 week period. Persons not prepared to go
ahead with the initial 12 treatments are not encouraged to begin the program. Each visit will require
about 1 hour for the facial acupuncture.
Why Do We Recommend 12 Treatments?
Experience has shown that 12 treatments is a good starting program. Occasionally people who are
slow responders may need a few additional treatments.
Can't I Just Take A Few Treatments And See How I Get Along?
Yes, but we do not recommend it because the first few treatments are not always a good indication of
the eventual outcome. Our experience indicates that treatments have a cumulative effect.
How Many Treatments A Week Do You Recommend?
We usually recommend treatments 2 to 3 times a week.
Will Everybody Respond To The Facial Acupuncture?
No. Our experience has shown that a few people will not respond to the acupuncture treatments. It is
impossible to predict how many individuals will respond to treatment. That is why we do a
consultation and a trial treatment program. Should you fail to respond to the rest treatments, or if you
have unrealistic expectations about the results, then you will not be encouraged to go ahead with
treatment.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect From The Treatments?
Will I Need A Maintenance Program?
What About Needle Sterilization?
Only the finest quality stainless steel, pre-sterilized, single-use, disposable needles are used.
Who Would Benefit From Treatment?
