Acupuncture Facelift

What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?

Described by THE TIMES as a "viable alternative to cosmetic surgery", the "acupuncture facelift" is the most recent non-invasive procedure designed to treat fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improving the overall appearance of the skin.

Based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, it helps the whole body to look and feel younger by addressing the physical, mental and emotional patterns that cause disease and contribute to the aging process. The use of Acupuncture to slow the visible effects of aging began in China in the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as 'Chinese Medical Cosmetology'

Studies published in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture showed that of 300 test cases who received facial rejuvenation, 90% showed results after one course of treatments.

What are the benefits:

Often, many patients have reported a tightening sensation on their face after the first treatment. Over the course of treatments, visible changes have been observed. Said to be the secret beauty weapon of a number of stars including Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Demi Moore, facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a cheaper and safer alternative to Botox and Cosmetic surgery.

Facial Acupuncture brings out your beauty and radiance from within. It is more than a cosmetic procedure as it increases local blood and lymph circulation to the face. Any evident stress in the face will be reduced. Cosmetic Acupuncture may take 5-10 years off your face, helping to eliminate fine lines and softening deeper lines. Acupuncture helps to stimulate the body's natural processes of cell reproduction and growth

Throughout treatment, you many notice other physical symptoms that you have will also improve. As it can improve hormonal balance, it may delay the greying of hair and hair loss associated with aging. You may notice you have a better quality of sleep and increased energy. It will improve your digestion and metabolism and strengthen your immune system.

You may notice other benefits especially after treatments, producing a more natural, healthier and toned facial appearance:

How does it work?

In a session lasting about an hour, very fine sterile needles are inserted at specific acupuncture points on the face to manipulate the body's energy (QI), boosts the circulation, helps the lymphatic system drain away toxins and stimulates production of new collagen. Needles are placed strategically to tighten sagging muscles at the jaw, neck and smile lines. Additional acupuncture needles are also placed in the hands and feet to balance the effect on the head.

With pressure points stimulating the body's healing energies and increasing blood flow, the skin automatically tightens and becomes smoother in appearance. Fine lines may be erased, deeper lines reduced and bags around the eyes, and neck firmed.

How many visits will I need?

In order to attain desired effects, a course of 10-15 weekly sessions is required. After completing a course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong results.
