Holistic therapy for wellness and health
A facial rejuvenation acupuncture series addresses all aspects of the
individual’s health and beauty. On the surface, it improves facial tone by
stimulating the muscles of the face and reestablishing firmness. This
can improve the look of a sagging jaw line, double chin, naso-labial fold,
drooping eyelids and can redefine cheekbones. Acupuncture also
stimulates circulation in the face, improving facial color, under eye bags
or circles, and a flushed face. By stimulating collagen production,
individual lines and wrinkles can be diminished. Acupuncture affects the
endocrine system and balances hormones. Balancing hormones can
improve problems pertaining to the skin such as acne, oily skin, and dry
skin.
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture includes a whole body treatment. The
aim of the series is not only to resolve problems at the surface, but also
to address the internal imbalance that is causing the problem in the first
place. For example, in Chinese Medicine, a lack of tone in facial muscles
is due to a weakness in the internal organ system relating to the spleen.
Therefore, in addition to stimulating the facial muscles themselves, the
practitioner will also strengthen the system at its root, so that sagging is
less likely to recur. This whole body approach to rejuvenation provides
lasting results and many report that they not only start looking better, but
also feel better, sleep better, have improved digestion and are relieved of
aches and pains.

A facial rejuvenation series consists of 12 weekly or bi-weekly treatments.
During the first few sessions, one will begin to see a brightening of the
complexion. By about the 6th or 7th session an improvement in facial
tone and diminishing of lines becomes more apparent. The results are
not as dramatic as a surgical facelift. Rather, the changes are gradual
over the course of several weeks. By the end of a series, the face is lifted
and bright, wrinkles are diminished, and facial tone and color are
markedly improved. Results like these were confirmed by a study
published in the Journal of Clinical Acupuncture in which 300 individuals
completed a full facial acupuncture series. 90% of the participants
concluded with noticeable improvements in their skin. Monthly
maintenance sessions are recommended to keep results lasting for
years.
Those with conditions such as high blood pressure, bleeding disorders
