Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Holistic Beauty Combined with Whole Body Wellness
Imagine that the beauty secret you crave is hidden in your own skin! Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is the wave of the future - using your body's own healing powers to counteract common signs of aging. Patients can look up to five years younger... naturally!
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture jumpstarts the production of collagen and elastin exactly where you need it to encourage firmer, healthier, younger-looking skin. It helps increase circulation to the face, release tight facial muscles and animate slack ones, which improves the underlying facial structure. Additionally, it can help naturally lift important structures like cheeks and eyebrows, while aiding in tightening loose and sagging skin on the face and neck.
Each treatment also includes a moving cupping treatment and a Gua Sha treatment, which are like little mini-massages for your face. These treatments reinforce the acupuncture treatment by relaxing and rebalancing muscle tone, lifting and sculpting the face, releasing associated muscles on the scalp and neck and stimulating lymphatic drainage.
A facial rejuvenation acupuncture initial treatment consists of a detailed physical assessment, along with a health acupuncture 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 recommended. Infrequent treatments will impede collagen and elastin production and greatly effect results. 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, depending on age, overall health and lifestyle, the initial 12 treatments will be enough to create visible changes in both the skin and underlying muscle structure. After that, one treatment every one or two months is recommended to maintain the positive changes. Some patients will require more than the 12 weekly treatments 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 substance. 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 any filler. Before treatment, you should contact the practitioner who treated you before, get a written record of exactly what treatment you received and give that to the acupuncturist.
Q: Does acupuncture hurt?
A: The needles used for the treatments are very tiny, smaller than the width of a hair. Many people do not feel them at all when inserted. If you do feel any discomfort from the needles, it should be momentary and then disappear. If a needle continues to bother you, the acupuncturist will remove it.
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.
