Facial Rejuvenation and Wrinkle treatment with Acupuncture:

If you're looking for a face-lift in a bottle, you probably won't find it. All the anti aging creams can only help so much. But with facial acupuncture treatments you can treat the issue from inside. Now we Offer this facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatment in our practice. The great benefit of Facial Enhance cosmetic acupuncture is that not only does it treat you on the outside, it balances the inside too! Leading to greater well being and vibrant skin rejuvenation. The whole person is treated and evaluated on the body-mind continuum--the foundation of Holistic Medicine.

As the treatment is totally natural and is working with the body’s energy, the patient will feel revitalized all over and their general sense of well being will be improved - this is a fantastic alternative to medical and chemical treatments. Facial Rejuvenation is not a replacement for surgical facelift. However, there is no trauma to the face, no side effects, no extended recovery time and no danger of disfigurement. Facial Rejuvenation is less costly than plastic surgery and is quite safe.

The patient will notice that lines on the face start to fade as treatment progresses and also there is a new firmness about the skin which can be particularly evident in the jaw line and the sides of the cheeks. The whole face receives treatment at every session, but also specific areas can be targeted to focus on a patient's requirements. This can be discussed at the initial consultation and also continuously throughout subsequent treatments.

This treatment will not give the dramatic results that are achieved by medical procedures and the same results should not be expected, however, we are working with the patient's own natural energies and a more subtle and refined improvement should be expected at a fraction of the cost of surgery and other treatments.

Other Benefits of the Treatment include:

Helps in the treatment of acne and other skin conditions.

Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Lifts drooping eyelids.

Tightens the pores on the face.

Reduces the appearance of bags under the eyes.

Moisturizes the skin and improves tone.

Brightens the eyes.

The needles that are used for acupuncture and cosmetic treatment are very fine disposable needles. There is very little sensation when needled with them, and only a mild stinging feeling may be experienced on some occasions, in fact the whole experience of a treatment can be very relaxing in itself. Perhaps you feel that age is catching up with you and that your skin is starting to show signs of wear and tear, if that is the case then acupuncture is the ideal treatment for you, it will revitalize your skin and give it a new feeling of life.

After a few treatments your friends will start to comment on how great you are looking and want to know what the secret of your new look is. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture helps to improve muscle tone and dermal contraction especially in the face and neck. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture has been shown to increase collagen production and aids in its dispersal thus helping to firm the skin and fill out wrinkles. Bags and sagging around the eyes face, and neck can be significantly reduced and toned up. Metabolism is greatly improved through these treatments, resulting in reduced puffiness often to the point of elimination.

As Acupuncture can profoundly effect the regulation of hormones in the body, conditions like acne and overly dry skin can be quite improved. By substantially increasing the circulation of blood, lymph, and qi to the head, these treatments improve the complexion noticeably. Healthy facial coloring can be restored and there can be a tightening of the pores. Stress and habitual expressions which are so visible on the face are transformed resulting in a remarkably younger, calmer, and less worn looking face with which to meet the world. Inner beauty, vitality and serenity: all these very obviously visual benefits manifest in the appearance while many pre-existing health conditions are cleared up because Acupuncture works by treating the whole body and addressing the underlying causes of aging and disease. Facial Acupuncture offers a safe and effective treatment to rejuvenate the face by diminishing wrinkles, decreasing bags under the eyes and puffiness, firm’s facial muscles, tightens the skin.

Facial Acupuncture stimulates collagen production and increases local blood and lymph circulation. Even though, results with acupuncture are slower then a surgical face lift, acupuncture is less expensive and safer option having no side effects. Some studies indicate that cosmetic acupuncture improves elasticity of facial muscles, makes the skin smooth, lessens wrinkles and produces an overall healthier complexion. Facial rejuvenation Acupuncture also treats constitutional problems on the facial surface associated with the aging process, by treating overall health and well being. The way a person ages tells a lot about their internal health. Specific areas of face in Acupuncture correspond to specific organs. For example: Cheeks in Acupuncture relate to the Lungs and the Chin to the Kidneys.
