Facial Rejuvenation

Acupuncture and Oriental medicine can provide a safe, effective, natural and drug free approach to reduce signs of aging. Facial rejuvenation treatments combine acupuncture, massage and herbal masks to improve muscle tone of the face and neck while addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to the aging process.

The aging process

The Chinese outlined the process of aging thousands of years ago in one of the oldest medical texts, the Su Wen. According to this resource, women have aging milestones at 35, 42 and 49, while men’s key turning points are 40, 48 and 56. Both sexes experience changes in the reproductive, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems as a consequence of aging. While internal organs change with age, people are more apt to notice changes in their SKIN. Wrinkles, reduced elasticity, dullness and dark circles are all external signs of aging.

How does acupuncture facial rejuvenation work?

Acupuncture improves the circulation of energy in the body, bringing blood, oxygen and nourishment to every cell, tissue, muscle and organ in the body. By increasing circulation, acupuncture can improve skin and muscle tone while enhancing and increasing elasticity of the skin.

Does it work for other skin problems, like acne?

Yes, emphatically yes! Remember body points that address underlying constitutional issues that impact your skin’s appearance are treated during these sessions. If acne is due to hormonal imbalances, we treat those simultaneously. If skin problems like psoriasis is directly related to immune issues, we treat those too. The whole system is taken into account in Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation Treatments.

Where do the needles go?

Point selection differs with each patient. Facial points are combined with acupuncture points on the rest of the body to address both the signs and internal consequences of aging. Factors such as poor diet, emotional/environmental stresses and toxins can cause internal imbalances that speed up the aging process. Acupuncture points are selected according to these factors, the individual patient’s constitution and skin appearance.
