Acupuncture Facelift, as a form of non-surgical face lift has recently become a mainstream alternative to surgery, especially as great results were attained by the rich and famous!
This type of facial rejuvenation involves bringing fresh oxygenated blood to the face. It has been proven to stimulate collagen production.
Collagen is a protein found in skin cells which stops being produced as we age. A lack of collagen is responsible for wrinkles, fine lines and loss of skin elasticity.
The treatment slows down the aging process from within and is well suited for both female and male patients. Bring out your inner radiance without the pharmaceutical side effects or nerve damage of conventional methods.
In the process of having the treatment done your practitioner will use the needles both “locally†(on the facial points) and in other areas of your body as the focus for acupuncture is not just to address the problem but also the internal cause of the problem (the imbalance in your Qi).

What does Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment involve?
Initially you will consult with your practitioner to review your overall health condition. Your tongue and pulse diagnosis will be taken along with an overview of your medical history and lifestyle habits. Since Cosmetic Acupuncture has a cumulative effect most individuals will see significant results after 10 treatments; ideally scheduled twice per week. It is recommended that the client continues with monthly maintenance to ensure the skin remains vitalized and to slow down the process of aging.

Each client is treated individually, beginning with a thorough health history taking. Then the therapist will look at your nails, ears, eyes and most importantly the tongue, and will use this information along with your health history to determine the cause of your symptoms and the best treatment. This first appointment is usually about an hour long. Subsequent treatments may vary in length. The acupuncturist will discuss this with you as part of the first treatment. Many patients find acupuncture to be very relaxing, and may even fall asleep during the treatment.
