The Benefits of Face Rejuvenation Acupuncture

Since the body/mind/spirit are all connected, negative emotions reflect in the face and change the appearance of skin texture, colour and tension. Acupuncture can eliminate stress and bring out innate strength, vitality and health.

Is it really a facelift? The answer is a definitely no. It is not intended to replace a facelift. Acupuncture Rejuvenation entails no incisions, stitches or acid peels and it will not produce sudden, drastic changes in underlying structures. The term 'facelift' creates unrealistic expectations and, ultimately, disappointment. Remember, it took decades of stress, sun damage and exposure to environmental toxins for your skin to reach a state of crisis, and the damage will not be instantly undone. What Face Rejuvenation may offer is the reduction or erasure of fine lines and the softening of deeper ones. Additionally, patients may experience the firming of jowls and a reduction in the size of under eye bags. It is not unusual for clients to report enhanced skin tone, increased energy and eyes that sparkle.

But it doesn't stop there. Since facial acupuncture is based on time-tested principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person‚Äôs overall health may also benefit. Insomnia may be corrected and weight gain may be controlled. Acupuncture Rejuvenation or Cosmetic acupuncture as it is otherwise known is, after all, based on TCM which is a whole body treatment. In the Traditional Chinese Medicine view, a person's face is affected selectively by his or her internal organs. The organs are reflected in the face including any dysfunction. Therefore addressing a patient's condition holistically, the practitioner will probably work locally, inserting painless, fine needles into specific wrinkles, acupuncture points or depending on the technique employed will also effect the patients wellbeing too.

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. These effects included: the skin becoming delicate and fair, improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles and levelling of wrinkles, a ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation not confined to the face.
