Facial Acupuncture is an excellent alternative for those who are reluctant to undergo cosmetic surgery. The treatment is safe, painless, and has no side effects. In fact, most patients discover that the whole treatment process is rather relaxing and rejuvenating.

Facial Acupuncture can improve a variety of facial skin problems dependent upon the medical and family history of the individual. Short-term facial treatment is mostly for general facial problems such as acne, dry and itching skin, large pores, fine wrinkles and boils. Long-term facial treatment is beneficial for most people who have deeper wrinkles, drooping or sagging facial features.

Facial Acupuncture can change the overall complexion of the face by bringing out a person’s innate beauty and radiance. It causes dermal contraction which improves muscle tone, tightens the pores, and lifts drooping eyelids and eyes bags. This eliminates the fine lines and diminishes the deeper wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes and around the mouth regions. It also moistens the skin’s complexion by increasing local circulation of blood and lymph flow to the face. Besides providing a facial lift and improving the complexion of the face, acupuncture has a powerful calming effect on the entire nervous system.

A course of treatment for Facial Acupuncture consists of 12 treatments. A single treatment usually lasts about 1.5 hours. Each individual treatment builds on the previous treatment, and the overall effect of the treatments is dependent upon the individual differences such as age, family history (genetics), and lifestyle prior to treatment. Typically, after a course of treatment, maintenance sessions can further enhance the beauty of the skin texture and slow down the degeneration of the skin cells. Supplemental treatments such as herbal remedies can further prevent age spots and promote the vital energy of the whole body which increases one’s well-being.

Acupuncture treatment for Facial Rejuvenation is a painless process because specialized, thin disposable needles are used. The gentle and skillful insertion of these special needles activates particular acupuncture points on the face as well as the whole body. Facial acupuncture treatments are tailored to meet each individual’s need. The most important principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to treat the body through a holistic perspective. This holistic approach involves treating not just the existing conditions but also treating the root cause of the conditions. The famous ancient physician, Li Tse Shi, emphasized treating the whole body as a way to enhance the face, “Water the root of the flowers to make the flowers blossom.” In traditional Chinese medicine, many major body meridians/channels flow through the face; therefore, the treatment involves selecting certain acupuncture points both on the face and the entire body (balancing the yin and the yang). This facial acupuncture treatment promotes the optimal energy flow throughout the body and the face thus making it a very unique, individualized process.
