 Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture for

Holistic Beauty Combined with Whole Body Wellness


Facial rejuvenation acupuncture uses your body's own healing powers to counteract common signs of aging.
After a consistent course of treatment, patients can look up to five years younger.


A facial rejuvenation acupuncture initial treatment consists of a detailed physical assessment, a health acupuncture treatment and a facial acupuncture treatment.  Follow-up treatments include a check-in on your health, a health acupuncture treatment and a facial acupuncture treatment.  

Both treatments will be customized to your own goals. Facial cupping and gua sha (a Chinese scraping technique) conclude this comprehensive treatment for additional facial sculpting and massage.  Each specialized session lasts approximately 1.5 hours.

FAQs

Q:  How often should I have facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatments? 

A:  A minimum of one treatment per week for 12 weeks is highly recommended.  If faster results are desired, two treatments per week can also be done. 

Q:  Will I need follow-up treatments? 

A:  Yes, for many patients, the initial 12 treatments will be enough to create visible changes in both the skin and underlying muscle structure.  After that, one treatment per month or every two months is recommended to maintain the positive changes.  Some patients will require more than 12 weekly treatments initially to initiate changes.

Q:  How soon will I see results? 

A:  Results vary from person to person, depending on age and current facial condition.  The stimulation of collagen and elastin can take up to eight weeks in some individuals, while others will see changes beginning in only four to six weeks.  

Q:  Can I have facial rejuvenation acupuncture if I have had Botox or fillers? 

A:  Yes, but it is important for the acupuncturist to know exactly where you have been treated before and with what.  If acupuncture needles are placed where you have had Botox, it will reduce the Botox's effectiveness.  Acupuncture needles should not be placed where you have received filler.

Q:  Does acupuncture hurt?

A:  The needles used for the treatments are tiny, smaller than the width of a hair. If there is any discomfort when the needles are inserted, it should be momentary and then disappear. If a needle continues to bother you, it will be removed.

Q:  Can everyone have facial rejuvenation acupuncture? 

A:  No, people with certain health conditions, as well as pregnant women, should not have facial rejuvenation acupuncture. During your facial rejuvenation acupuncture pre-screening call, we will discuss your existing health conditions and if facial acupuncture is appropriate for you.

Q:  Can facial acupuncture be used to treat facial disorders? 

A:  Yes, facial acupuncture can be very helpful in treating facial disorders like stroke and Bell's Palsy, using protocols customized to each patient's condition.
