Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
This special treatment
combines elements to enhance healthy facial skin and
muscle tone, while creating an experience of deep relaxation
in mind, body and spirit.
Three Treasures
of Radiant Health
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture blends ancient Chinese and
modern wholistic practices for health and longevity. These
promote internal healing through nourishing and harmonizing
the Three Chinese Treasures: Qi (vital energy), Shen (spirit)
and Jing (essence). This balance promotes grace, harmony and
a calm spirit which radiates through our being and face as
true beauty.
This protocol works to relax the person fully,
to address specific facial concerns directly and to address
underlying constitutional needs. Our face and skin are a reflection
of our inner spirit, mental and emotional habits and physical
health.
Acupuncture in combination with herbal and other wholistic
modalities, works to improve the flow of energy in the body
and to nourish and invigorate the blood.
Through this intensive treatment, the transport
of oxygen and nutrients to the skin is naturally improved.
Removal of waste becomes more efficient and inflammation is
reduced. This enhances facial skin and muscle tone and the
face lifts itself!
We use only natural, unpreserved herbal skin
care products to cleanse and nourish the skin.
Needle-free acupressure
sessions
are available on request.

Questions
and answers....
Q. How does facial
acupuncture work?
A. Acupuncture increases the blood circulation to the local
area where the fine needles are inserted. Acupuncture also
promotes relaxation of the muscles and stimulates muscle tone.
As skin ages, the tiny feeder blood vessels in the skin gradually
diminish. This reduces the supply of oxygen and nourishment
to the skin and also means there is less efficient removal
of waste. With diminished efficiency of these functions, there
is an increase in wrinkles, dulless and lack of tone.
Acupuncture enhances the micro-vascular system, causing the
skin to respond more effectively. Acupuncture helps stimulate
the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. These
are all important to skin health. Topical creams and lotions
containing these ingredients are not effective.
Q. How long does
the procedure take?
A. Each session lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours. For the best results,
clients receive a series of 12 sessions, once or twice a week,
over a period of 3 months. This allows for lasting results.
During this time, the practitioner also addresses constitiutional
and health needs that will contribute to beautiful skin.
Q. What kind of
results can I expect?
A. Results with facial acupuncture are slower and less pronounced
than with a surgical face lift. However, it is a less expensive
and safer option with no side effects. Don’t expect
immediate results as you would from harsh treatments like
peels or laser procedures. Do expect a gradual increase in
tone, more firmness (less sagging) and softening of facial
lines. Problem skin, such as dryness, acne or rosacea can
be improved or eliminated, particularly by combining external
treatment with internal approaches such as herbs, dietary
and other changes. You will also notice a gradual change in
your state of well-being, how you feel about yourself (beautiful
from the inside out!) and a return of the sparkle in your
eyes! Once the procedure is completed, results can last for
3 to 5 years. Maintenance treatments once a month can also
be very helpful in maintaining the benefits.
Q. Is the procedure
painful?
A. It is much less painful than many facial skin treatments.
The needles are extra fine and the insertion is very shallow
in the dermal layer of the skin.
Q. Will I need special
products to take care of my face?
A. Yes and no. The procedure works with or without special
products. We do recommend natural herbal products, free of
harsh chemicals, alcohol, preservatives and other chemicals,
because we find these irritate and can cause problems in the
skin. We find the skin thrives on herbal products that provide
nourishing food for the skin. We carry several products and
can recommend other products you may like. We leave the selection
up to the individual and simply offer guidelines for your
consideration.
