FACIAL REJUVENATION

What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?

Also known as Facelift Acupuncture, these treatments help recapture youthful skin and overall great health! By treating underlying imbalances--as well as the actual signs of aging--acupuncture heals inside & out.

Treatments increase the flow of energy to the face so that collagen production, blood and lymph circulation are also enhanced.

Changes to severe sagging or loose jowls and neck will be less dramatic than surgery, but consider the benefits:

Far less costly
Safe and virtually painless
No risks of disfigurement
No trauma, swelling, discoloration
Addresses general health in addition to cosmetic goals for overall relaxtion and well-being
Maintains effects of prior surgeries

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 can include:

Diminished fine lines and deeper grooves/furrows of the face and throat (laugh lines, Crow's feet, signs of stress)
Reduced facial puffiness, swelling
Firmer jowls and double chins
Brighter eyes, reduced dark circles
Minimized under-eye bags
Tightened pores
Smoother skin tone
Cleared acne
Increased moisture to skin

What are treatments like?

Depending on several factors, there are 8 to 12 sessions per series, given at least once per week. Monthly follow-ups are usually prescribed.

90 minute treatments are $125 each; prepaid series of 8 discounted to $900 (a savings of $100)! These sessions include customized aromatherapy and relaxing, rejuvenating facial massage.

60 minute treatments are $105 each; prepay for a series of 8 sessions at $800 ( $40 discount).

A typical treatment uses over 40 very fine needles. (see below)
