COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE FOR FACIAL REJUVENATION

Cosmetic surgery is one of the most costly and invasive procedures that pulls the face taut by removing ⁄ cutting out sagging surplus tissue. Rather than deadening tissue or cutting it, why not rejuvenate your facial muscles and skin naturally through increased circulation of blood and lymph with cosmetic acupuncture?

WHAT IS COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE?

Cosmetic Acupuncture, facial acupuncture or an Acupuncture Facelift is a non–surgical procedure that will help rejuvenate and revitalize your whole body. It will improve blood and energy circulation, nourish your skin and may help to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging jowls and chin, and dull skin. Cosmetic Acupuncture is based on the principals of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Facial acupuncture ⁄ Cosmetic acupuncture’s focus much broader, proceeding from the assumption that only a healthy body and mind can sustain a smooth face and glowing complexion. Single use, high quality disposable hair–thin Seirin acupuncture needles are therefore inserted not only into the face, but also at points elsewhere in the body, where the flow of energy (known as Qi in Chinese medicine) can be stimulated in order to treat the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process.

The superficial insertion on the face will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion and also as the movement of energy improves, a greater amount of energy and blood are circulated to the face, nourishing, hydrating, toning and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles, giving a younger, more youthful appearance to the face.


"WHARE QI GOES, BLOOD FLOWS", AS THE CHINESE SAY

Facial Acupuncture may also have the added benefit of stimulating the body’s production of collagen, a major structural protein that provides strength to the skin. A decline of collagen with aging is one of the main causes of sagging and puffiness in the face.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE?

Glowing, radiant, younger looking skin.


Cosmetic Acupuncture might be helpful to:
1.minimize or eliminate fine lines and improve the look of deep wrinkles

2.reduce a double chin and sagging jowls

5.reduce frown lines

9.improve hormonal balance to reduce acne even facial colour and tone

10.increase blood, energy and lymph circulation feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated

11.give your face a younger, more youthful look



WHY CHOOSE COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE OVER A FACE LIFT?
Cosmetic Acupuncture is not a replacement for surgery; however it is an excellent natural alternative. It is much less costly and a safer treatment. Unlike face lift surgery, it is painless and has no negative side effects; there is no trauma inflicted on the body and there is no need for recovery. There is no risk of disfigurement and you can stop with no ill effects if it does not suit you.

Unlike facelift ⁄ cosmetic surgery, which may have an extended recovery period (2 weeks or longer) with swelling, discoloration and scarring, cosmetic acupuncture actually helps heal the face.


WHAT IS THE COURSE OF TREATMENT?
Although a radiance of complexion and brightness in the eyes is often noted after a single treatment, for the best results, a series of 12 sessions performed weekly or twice a week is recommended. Results are visible around the 7th or 8th session. Monthly maintenance sessions will prolong the results as will facial exercises, facial acupressure massage, a healthy diet and a balanced lifestyle.

In the clinic, most patients have noticed a lift ⁄ tightening of the face and cheeks right after the first treatment session, accompanied with a very relaxed feeling.


DOES IT REALLY WORK?
Cosmetic Acupuncture has been performed for thousands of years in China. As early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD–1270AD) Cosmetic Acupuncture was performed on the Empress and Emperor’s concubines. For centuries, the Chinese have known that beauty radiates from the inside out. If the internal body is nourished and the energy and blood are flowing smoothly, the external body will reveal this radiance.

A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Cosmetic Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects include: The skin becomes delicate, improvement of elasticity of facial muscles, ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation.

Facelift Acupuncture : Before & After (8)

Why use Cosmetic Acupuncture?

There is an increasing awareness of the perils of a toxic environment. People are paying more attention to the things they eat and the drugs they take. Your skin is one of the primary organs used to excrete toxins. The skin also has the ability to absorb. The traditional way to moisturize the skin utilizes petroleum based products that act as a barrier (plastic wrap) to keep moisture in. The problem is the toxins can’t get out. The skin needs to “breath”.

Botulism Toxin Type A (BOTOX) is an effective facial paralytic that shows real results for the reduction of wrinkles, however, it has no anti-aging effect. Currently the trend in med-spas is to use chemical peels which increase cellular turnover that actually ages the skin, Botox injections, and chemically altered vitamins like Retin A which increases the skin’s sensitivity to damage. There are even chemical treatments like hydroquinone for bleaching and translucency which require routine liver enzyme checks to assess the damage done internally. There is a better solution.

“A 1996 article in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with cosmetic acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects include: skin becomes delicate, improvement of elasticity of the facial muscles, ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation.”

Facelift acupuncture : Look younger and feel better!

Alexander, founder of  Ho's Acupuncture Center has developed a personalized cosmetic system to help people to look younger and feel better.

His program providing a combination of  face and body acupuncture, herbal mask and herbal supplements to reduces fine lines and wrinkles, tightens the skin, and restores skin elasticity. This treatment not only lifts but rejuvenates the face and reverses the effects of aging, but also your overall health at the same time. One reason this method is so effective is because it not only treats the face but also the patient’s underlying health issues and imbalances.

This treatment is very safe when compare to plastic surgery, Botox injections, collagen injections, and laser/chemical peels. Your face will retain its character and it will never look frozen, stretched or swollen. The results are natural looking because they are natural. A Surgical face lift only tightens the skin. The acupuncture face lift increases blood circulation to the face, promotes collagen production, and increases muscle tone and elasticity.

This treatment is appropriate for men and women alike.
