Facial and Cosmetic Acupuncture

Practiced since as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD), Facial Acupuncture is a non-surgical acupuncture treatment designed to rejuvenate the body and face.

Fast, luxurious, and painless, Cosmetic and Facial Acupuncture offers the perfect solution for those looking for a new beginning without the risk, costs, complications, and stigma of surgery.

Reduce wrinkles, eye bags, dark circles, puffiness, age spots, and "crow's feet." Increase collagen, muscle tone, and moisture in your skin. Eliminate fine lines, discoloration, stress and anxiety.

Brighten eyes, lift eyelids, firm jowls, and tighten pores. Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation lets you lose the stuff you don't want, and keep the stuff you do.

How Many Treatments?

A typical facial rejuvenation course of treatment consists of between 8 to 12 treatments, but you can have as many or has few as you choose.

Typically, you can expect to see effects after the first or second treatment and results become more noticeable and lasting around the seventh session.

A person's daily exposure to toxins and other elements also contributes to the ultimate duration of the course.

Can it really make a difference?

It can. Acupuncture has proven itself over thousands of years. Reduction in wrinkles around the face and "crow's feet" around the eyes can be very dramatic. However, the lifestyles of the individual come into play as well. Insufficient sleep, or high exposure to sun or smoke, for example, can impede progress. Ask you practitioner for tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and maximizing your Facial Rejuvenation goals.

Does it hurt?

No. Every person's discomfort level with acupuncture needles is different, but the face needles are ultra-thin acupuncture needles and are virtually undetectable when inserted.

How long do the results last?

The most dramatic results can last anywhere from 18 months to three years. Some benefits will stay with you forever. Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation repairs and restores the health and vitality that your skin enjoyed in prior years. But time and gravity are inevitable, and your skin may eventually become damaged again. To curb this result, you can repeat the full course of treatment altogether down the road, or come in for periodic maintenance treatments. Unlike cosmetic surgery, no one will ever tell you that you've had too much acupuncture.

Facial Acupuncture Research

A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with facial acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects included the skin becoming delicate and fair, improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles and leveling of wrinkles, a ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation not just confined to the face.
