Facial Acupuncture Transformation

“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

~ Confucius

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a safe, painless and effective treatment for renewing the face as well as the whole body. Fine lines may be entirely erased, deeper lines reduced and bags around neck and eyes firmed.

Fine needles are placed at a variety of acupuncture points on the face, neck and around the eyes to stimulate the body’s natural energies, or Qi. Since muscle groups are addressed as well the acupuncture points, the face lifts itself, via the acupuncture points, through the muscles’ toning and tightening action. The needles also stimulate blood and circulation, which improves facial colour.

Is Facial Acupuncture for Everyone?

It would probably be more instructive to list the few contraindications for facial acupuncture, because, for the vast majority of prospective clients, it is a safe and beneficial treatment, not only for prevention of wrinkles, but also the reversal of the customary signs of aging.

Contraindications:

   1. Severe high blood pressure (it is OK when the blood pressure is under control and the patient is seeing a medical doctor)

   2. Severe migraines (if the patient is having a migraine only once every 3 months or so, they can receive facial acupuncture treatments)

   3. As it takes a patient 3 weeks to recover from laser resurfacing on the face, Facial Acupuncture is not recommended during that time; wait a week after microdermabrasion.

Not to be performed during:

  • pregnancy;

  • colds or flu;

  • acute herpes outbreak; or

  • acute allergic reactions

In the latter three instances, once the condition has passed, the patient may receive a facial acupuncture treatment.

How Long is the Treatment?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture involves the patient in an organic process, in which a series of treatments is necessary to achieve maximal effect. After an initial session, practitioner evaluates the patient’s response, and then can determine the number of follow-up visits that will be required:

After this evaluation, and taking into consideration other variables such as stress, diet, lifestyle, genetic inheritance, proper digestion and elimination, sleep, emotional balance, and age, the following durations of treatments are customarily recommended:

  • Usually 12-15 treatments;

  • 20 treatments for smokers or people whose skin tends to sag, i.e., who manifest jowls, “turkey wattles,” droopy eyes, etc. Acupuncture treatments to help quit smoking are also recommended and available.

It should be noted that age is not as crucial as might be estimated; an older patient with a healthy lifestyle may in fact have a better prognosis than a younger person who is prone to dissipate themselves.

Treatment Timeline:

  • 1 treatment per week, 60 to 90 minutes

Maintenance Treatments:

The results of a Rejuvenation series can last up to 3 years. To ensure the persistence of the results, ongoing maintenance treatments are recommended:

   1. Every 3 months following the completion of a treatment series; or

   2. Of course, the patient can also embark upon a subsequent series after a week’s respite

The Use of Chinese Herbs

The Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatment protocol incorporates Chinese herbal masks, poultices and moisturisers made from all natural, highest quality ingredients. Jade rollers, which enhance blood circulation, remove fine lines and age spots, and prevent premature aging, are used to massage the skin. The ancient empresses of China used jade as a precious stone to be worn, not only around their necks, but also to attract yin and nourishment into their skin. The stone served a double purpose of promoting beauty and for magical protection.

Chinese Dietary Therapy and nutrition advice will be recommended to address causes of certain skin conditions, and Chinese Herbal Medicine may be prescribed as an adjunct to the acupuncture treatment.

Short and Long-Term Effects of Facial Acupuncture

After the first treatment, one usually observes an increased glow to the complexion, the result of increased Qi and blood flow to the face. The person’s face appears more “open”, there is a clarity in the eyes (“clear Shen”), and the patient appears to be more rested; wrinkles start to lessen and the skin appears more toned.

A significant difference in their appearance can be ascertained following the 5th to 7th treatments; even more marked changes in wrinkles, skin tone, etc. The impression of relaxation and calm is more pronounced; they appear as if they have returned from vacation. Lifting of the jowls, neck and the eyes has begun and is usually noticeable. With continuing treatment, constitutional issues like digestive complaints have been ameliorated or subsided.

By the end of a series, the patient should look and feel 5-15 years younger. These results may vary slightly, depending upon how well the patient has taken care of themselves during the process, and afterward. At this stage, booster treatments provide ongoing support within a normal process of aging.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is non-invasive, less costly than surgical procedures, and draws upon the ancient Chinese wisdom related to longevity, beauty and balance.

Cosmetic Traditional Chinese Medicine is generally less expensive than Botox, Collagen & Restylane injections & Cosmetic Surgery.

It is also a genuine holistic treatment where your entire body is treated to address your facial imbalances. Truly creating beauty from the inside out.
