ACUPUNCTURE FACELIFT

What is an Acupuncture Facelift?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, or an Acupuncture Facelift, is a safe and effective non-surgical alternative to cosmetic procedures such as Botox therapy and surgical facelifts. Improved blood and energy flow to the face bring essential nutrients to your skin, stimulating collagen production and resulting in the disappearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dull, saggy skin.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is based on the principals of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Hair-thin needles are inserted into specific locations on the face, hands, feet, ears and torso. This facilitates the movement of qi (energy) and blood. Over time, skin is hydrated, nourished and toned, energy is balanced and health is restored. Underlying factors that contribute to aging are addressed by individualizing the specific points that are needled in a given person.

What is the course of Treatment?

For best results, a series of 12 sessions performed once or twice weekly are recommended. Beneficial changes to the skin will begin after the first treatment; lasting results occur after the 7th or 8th session. Results are prolonged with monthly or bimonthly maintenance sessions along with a healthy diet, lifestyle and a personalized nutrient prescription.

What are the Benefits?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture will give you glowing, radiant, younger looking skin. Specifically, it can be used to:

• minimize or eliminate fine lines
• reduce a double chin
• reduce frown lines
• lift sagging skin, puffy or droopy eyelids
• increase collagen production
• brighten the eyes
• improve muscle tone and dermal contraction
• improve hormonal balance to reduce acne
• even facial colour and tone
• increase blood, energy and lymph circulation
• leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is an excellent natural alternative to cosmetic procedures such as Botox, surgical facelifts, chemical peels and photofacials. Less costly, safer, painless and without side effects, the body has no trauma inflicted and thus needs no recovery time. Since the way you age tells a lot about your internal health, understanding and correcting internal imbalances is key to targeting the underlying causes of aging. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is the only anti-aging therapy that effectively works with this information to rebalance your body, leaving you with beautiful skin and a healthier body.

Does it Really Work?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture has been performed for thousands of years in China. As early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD), it was performed on the Empress and Emperor’s concubines. For centuries, the Chinese have known that beauty radiates from the inside out. If the internal body is nourished and the energy and blood are flowing smoothly, the external body will reveal this radiance.

A recent report in The Journal of Chinese Medicine, Number 72, June 2003, by Radha Thambirajah, founder of the Academy of Chinese Acupuncture in Sri Lanka has concluded that the effects of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture are striking and long-lasting… “Her skin became smooth, her hair shiny, her eyes bright …she was beautiful”. A study in 1996 in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic 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 levelling of wrinkles, a ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation.
