facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture / Cosmetic Acupuncture
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a centuries old practice. It is a gentle, effective, and safe way to combat the signs of aging and erase years from your face without the risk or downtime of surgery or injections. Acupuncture offers many benefits to those who want to revitalize the look and feel of their skin. It builds collagen, tones muscles, improves circulation, and stimulates blood flow with no risk of scars, infections, rashes, or toxic build-up of chemicals. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is much more than a cosmetic procedure. Acupuncture changes the energy flow within the body and initiates the process for constitutional rejuvenation. If energy is not flowing freely throughout your body then your organs, muscles and lymphatic system cannot function properly, which can contribute to puffiness, bags and premature aging.
Chinese medicine is based on the principle that health is manifested from the inside out. Using this Holistic approach, not only do your frown lines disappear, you feel better overall, sleep better, have more energy and better digestion. As you age, the 57 muscles in your face gradually lose their tone and mass. Loss of tone and mass causes the sagging, deep wrinkling and tired look associated with aging. Acupuncture stimulates the muscle function, and the face lifts itself via the acupuncture points. Thus returning the face to a healthier, revitalized, youthful appearance.
Hair thin needles are placed in the outside of the ear to induce relaxation, and body points are used which correspond to the individual’s specific needs. There is a sense of well being as a flood of endorphins is released throughout the body. Once you are in a state of deep relaxation, needles are placed on the face in acupuncture points as well as wrinkles. The needles placed in the wrinkles create a micro trauma, which causes collagen to be produced.

What to expect in a session…
Firstly we will Discuss your main concerns. Skin is cleaned and very fine -0.10-0.16mm - needles are placed in the body and face. I leave you to rest for 30- 40 minutes. After needles are removed I apply light suction using a facial cup - this supports lymphatic drainage and reduces puffiness. Finally facial gua sha is applied to increase blood and oxygenation of skin.
Facial Acupuncture treatments are deeply relaxing and revitalizing (and include body acupuncture too!).
If required food and lifestyle recommendations are given. Supplements and herbs can also be given if necessary.
