What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a painless, non-surgical method to reduce the signs of the aging process. Though Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture can sometimes be referred to as an “Acupuncture Facelift,” it is more than just a cosmetic procedure. It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help your whole body look and feel younger.

The Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatment is based on the principles of Oriental Medicine and involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into particular areas of the face, ears, neck, hands, trunk, and legs along channels or meridians of energy called Qi. Specific points are chosen to manipulate the movement of energy in the body according to each individual's needs. Treatments generally last about one hour and include a full body acupuncture treatment along with the Facial Rejuvenation treatment.

Thousands of years ago, the Chinese discovered that many meridians either begin or end on the face, while some have internal branches that go to the face. Thus, practitioners of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture know how to specifically effect the face while simultaneously treating the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture can erase five to fifteen years from the face, with results apparent after just a few treatments. Fine lines may be entirely eliminated and deeper wrinkles diminished. Bags under the eyes can be reduced, jowls firmed, puffiness eliminated, droopy eyelids lifted, and double chins minimized. Other likely results include: moisturizing of the skin with increased local circulation of blood and lymph to the face; increased collagen production, muscle tone, and dermal contraction; tightening of the pores; brightening of the eyes; improving of hormonal balance to help acne; and reduction of stress evident in the face.

Course of Treatment
The recommended course of treatment (for the longest-lasting and most dramatic effect) consists of ten consecutive weekly treatments. The effects become most noticeable and lasting on about the seventh session. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. Following the initial course of treatment, quarterly maintenance sessions can prolong the results for five to ten years.

Contraindications
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is contraindicated for those with certain pituitary disorders, heart disorders, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, migraine headaches, and those who have a pacemaker or who have a problem with bleeding or bruising. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture should not be done during pregnancy, during a bout with a cold or flu, during an allergic attack, or during an acute herpes outbreak.
