Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation

Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation is a non-surgical method of helping to reduce the signs of ageing. It has gained popularity as the 'it' facial therapy, becoming more widely accepted as more celebrities have been endorsing its benefits. From #GwynethPaltrow #KimKardashian #JenniferAniston #AliciaKeys #LisaSnowdon #SandraBullock #MillieMacintosh to name a few.

Though Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture can sometimes be referred to as an Acupuncture Facelift, it is much more than a cosmetic procedure. The needles are specifically placed for the individual needs of the patient and designed to help to move blood, energy & stagnation so the 'whole' body can not only look but also feel younger. The Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation treatment is still based on the principles of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) & involves the insertion of small thin needles into particular areas of the face, ears, neck, & legs along channels or meridians of energy called Qi (pronounced chee).

Chinese view the human body as an organic system where the internal organs are interdependent and connected through the meridians with the sense organs, muscles, bones and skin. The ears are an integral part of the body and are connected to the meridian system as well, and different points reflect different parts of the body.

The effects become most noticeable & lasting on the 6 treatment, especially if it can be done on a weekly basis. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her condition & lifestyle prior to & during the series of treatment. Each treatment is tailor made for patients individual concerns.

Following the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can further prolong the results.
