Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture, sometimes called acupuncture facelift, is a non surgical method of reducing the signs of ageing by encouraging the flow of Qi (energy) and blood to the face. This hydrates and plumps up the skin to boost the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the face. This helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes giving a more youthful appearance.

 

How does facial revitalisation acupuncture work?

Very fine needles are inserted into specific points on the face, ears, neck and body to regulate the flow of Qi and create balance within the body.

 

Does facial revitalisation acupuncture really make a difference?

In 1996, a report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that out of 300 clients treated, 90% had marked effects with only one course of treatment. Effects ranged from the skin gaining a fairer and more delicate texture, a rosier complexion, an improvement in the elasticity of the muscles, a reduction in wrinkles and an overall rejuvenation of face and body.

 

Are any other alternative therapies recommended?

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is more effective if combined with Chinese herbal remedies, flower essences, nutritional supplements and facial massage.

Advice on diet, lifestyle and essential oils and other external applications is also given.

 

Is facial revitalisation acupuncture just the latest, trendy fashion?

Definitely not. In the Sun Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) it was recorded that rejuvenation processes combining acupuncture and herbs were used by the Empress and the Emperor’s concubines to initiate the healing process leading to a more youthful face and body. Today, you too can enjoy the benefits of facial rejuvenation acupuncture.

Remember, facial rejuvenation acupuncture is safe with no risk of disfigurement.

 

How many treatments will I need?

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture works best when 12 treatments are given once or twice a week, with the effects being noticed usually by the seventh session. However, all people respond differently. Much depends on their condition and lifestyle prior to and during treatment.

The skin is the body’s largest organ. As well as being our barrier to the outside world, it is affected by our internal environment too which is why this holistic beauty treatment replenishes and revitalises the body as a whole.
