Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture brings additional nutrients to the cells and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin by promoting the flow of blood & qi. Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture is a natural and organic process, less costly than invasive surgical procedures, and draws upon the ancient Chinese wisdom of longevity, beauty and balance.

TREATMENT
How Long is the Treatment?
A course of treatment for Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture includes about a 75 minute initial visit with an intake and treatment and approximately ten to twenty follow-up treatments for 60-75 minutes each for once a week. After the initial session, practitioner evaluates the patient's response and then can determine the number of required follow-up visits. The follow-up treatments can vary depending on the individual. A person's daily habits and lifestyle, exposure to toxins, stress level, genetic, diet, proper digestion & elimination, sleep, emotional balance and age all contribute to the ultimate duration of the course. You should start to see significant differences after 5-10 treatments. 20 treatments are recommended for smokers or people with problematic skin.
It should be noted that age is not as crucial as might be estimated. An older patient with a healthy lifestyle & a good genetic predisposition may have a better prognosis than a younger person who is prone to dissipate themselves. 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 him/herself during the process and afterward. At this stage, maintenance treatments provide ongoing support within a normal process of aging.
Maintenance Treatments
Within the normal parameters of aging, the completion of a series of treatments should be effective. To ensure the persistence of the results, ongoing maintenance treatments are recommended after the completion of a series:
-
Every 2 weeks for 2 months following the completion of a treatment series, then once a month for an indefinite amount of time.
-
Of course, the patient can also embark upon a subsequent series after a week's rest.
Is Facial Acupuncture For Everyone?
Even though Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture is safe & beneficial for many, there are some cases where we don't recommend it for patients:
-
Severe high blood pressure: it is acceptable when the blood pressure is under control and the patient is seeing a medical doctor
-
Immediately after laser resurfacing: Please wait 3 weeks to receive facial acupuncture
-
Microdermabrasion: Please wait a week to receive facial acupuncture
-
Pregnancy
-
Colds or flu**
-
Acute herpes outbreak**
-
Acute allergic reactions**
**In the latter 3 instances, the patient may receive a facial acupuncture treatment once the condition has passed.
Your dermatologist or esthetician cannot do this treatment. That's because Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical technique tailored to your unique constitution. The acupuncture points, techniques, and herbal masks are all personalized for you. Only a Chinese Medicine practitioner specially-trained in the principles of Chinese Medicine and facial acupuncture can properly diagnose which acupuncture points will get the results you need.
Furthermore, you don't have to go under the knife or shoot harmful chemicals into your body. Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture is a safe, cost-effective, non-invasive, chemical-free way to reduce wrinkles, firm skin, and erase the signs of age. It does not alter your bone structure or move your skin to replace another part of the skin. There is no "recovery time" as there is in surgery and facial rejuvenation acupuncture lasts about 18 months to 3 years longer than botox.
Week after week, you will look forward to your pampering treatments and see the results develop. It will not be long before friends and family begin to notice a change in you inside & out.
