What is Cosmetic Acupuncture or Facial Rejuvenation?

Cosmetic Acupuncture is a form of treatment that uses tiny needles, as thin as human hair, on the face, neck, abdomen and body to enhance and renew your skin. I specialize in the technique used in China for face lifts. This includes needle placement, needling technique, and other specialized information.  Cosmetic Acupuncture provides a pain-free, drug-free and natural approach to improve skin quality, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and support not only a healthy complexion, but a healthy body as well.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine has always focused on health and longevity, which included the physical appearance. In ancient China the Empress, and ladies of the royal court, made use of acupuncture and herbal medicine to maintain their vitality and youthful beauty. In addition, facial diagnosis has been an integral part of Chinese Medicine from its earliest beginnings thousands of years ago. Each of the major organs in the body manifests their state within your complexion.  By identifying and correcting imbalances both your appearance and general health can be improved.

How Does Cosmetic Acupuncture Work?

Cosmetic Acupuncture for facial rejuvenation works by balancing the body and encouraging the flow of blood, nutrients and energy to the face. Over time, the flow of energy in the body can become disrupted and blocked leading to a state of disharmony and stagnation; these imbalances can manifest in the complexion. By supporting a healthy mind and body, you can improve the appearance of your face in a manner that you can both see and feel.

During the Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment for face or neck rejuvenation, tiny sterile needles will be inserted into the face and body to adjust the flow of energy. Additionally, these facial needles are able to increase the tone of the facial muscles, pulling the skin tight and flattening wrinkles.  The local insertion of needles into the superficial layers of the skin has been shown to increase collagen production in the local area providing the skin greater elasticity and a more youthful appearance. There is usually no pain for most needle insertion sites.

Cosmetic Acupuncture Treatment Protocol

The Journal of Clinical Acupuncture says that 90% of clients have marked improvement in their faces and experience an overall rejuvenation that is not confined to the face. 

This is a 10-treatment protocol: 2 treatments a week for 5 weeks. Each treatment takes from 60 to 75 minutes. These anti-aging treatments affect your overall health in a positive way. While the results can last several years, one quarterly maintenance treatment is recommended during the first year then annually thereafter.  You will look and feel younger. In some ways, you'll be younger because your energetic systems will be working better. Your outward beauty and youthful appearance will be the result of inner fitness. Look younger - and feel healthier.   

Body points are also used during the treatment to improve your complexion, as well as address other health concerns and promote overall good health. Other health concerns that can impact your complexion include: stress, insomnia, menopause, anxiety, pain as well as many others. Improving other aspects of your health will support the benefits of your face or neck rejuvenation.

Herbs and nutritional supplements will also be custom prescribed as needed to bring your body and mind into optimal balance for good health. Constitutional conditions as well as other medical concerns will also be addressed.  Additional protocols focusing on weight loss and abdomen tightening are also available.

You can look younger and feel better for your next special occasion - birthday, anniversary, class or sweetheart reunion, wedding attendance or holiday season!
