Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture

Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture, also known as ‘cosmetic acupuncture’ is a painless, non-surgical and safe treatment method used in controlling and treating the ageing process.

It involves very fine, single use, acupuncture needles being inserted at acupuncture points on the face which stimulate the flow of energy (Qi) and improve blood circulation.  This brings nutrients to the skin and muscles and removes metabolic toxins.  Some other acupuncture points on the body may also be selected for their effect on general health and well-being.

Once the needles are inserted, a very pleasant warm tingling session may be experienced.  This is a sign that the treatment is having an effect.  The client is then left to relax while the treatment works.

Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture may reverse the ageing process by as many as five to twenty years, with results visible after just a few sessions.

The effects of Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture include:

• Increase in the production of collagen
• Skin looks firmer and younger
• Reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles
• Eliminates fines lines
• Improves facial muscle tone
• Lessens the appearance of bags under the eyes by improving fluid metabolism

How effective is Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture?

Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture is a relatively new technique but its benefits are already well documented.  In 1996 the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported a trial in which 90% of 300 cases treated with facial acupuncture had marked effects after just one course of treatment.

Are there other health benefits?

Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture is not just a ‘facelift’ treatment.  It is a holistic treatment which aims to restore wellbeing of the body.  As a result of treatment, clients may also notice other health benefits such as reduction in stress levels, less muscle tension, fewer headaches, better appetite, improved digestion and weight regulation, more energy, better sleep and a brighter outlook on life.

Is the treatment safe?

Acupuncture treatment is very safe.  Unlike other cosmetic treatments, it has no long-term irreversible side-effects such as scarring, swelling, paralysis of the face or drooping eyelids.

Very rarely the point at which the acupuncture needle is inserted may slightly bruise.  Any bruising should disappear after a few days.  Some patients also feel slightly sleep after treatment.

How soon will the results be noticeable?

You should plan to have a course of treatments consisting of at least 8-10 Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture sessions.  For the best results, treatment needs to be given initially on a twice weekly basis and then on a weekly basis.  Results should be noticeable after just a few treatments.

The effects from Facial Rejuvination Acupuncture are not as dramatic as with cosmetic surgery, of course, but the results are more natural looking.  Once the course of treatment is finished, many people choose to continue with occasional follow-up sessions to maintain their improved appearance.
