The principle behind Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is that beauty comes, quite literally, from within.  True beauty is impossible if you're exhausted and unhealthy, no matter what you may do to your skin on the outside.  When you're unhealthy or even sub-healthy, the body's energies are being used to treat the problem at hand, and the appearance of your face suffers as a result - think of how you looked the last time you had the flu!

 

We've all seen people without "perfect" facial features who nevertheless exude a healthy glow that makes them beautiful.  This is the ultimate aim of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture: as the condition of the body improves, more Qi and Blood is available to flow to the face, resulting in that healthy, beautiful glow.

 

The face itself provides us with important clues as to the underlying conditions affecting a person's health.  Someone with dry skin and excessive wrinking, for example, might be diagnosed as having a Yin or a Blood deficiency and would require a very different treatment strategy than someone with bags under the eyes or enlarged pores.  Someone with dull, pale skin would have a different diagnosis and treatment than someone with inflamed, ruddy skin.

 

Typically, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture involves a total of twelve weekly or semiweekly treatments, with marked results becoming noticeable around the 6th visit (though it's not unusual for a friend to comment that "something is different... you look younger" after the 4th visit).

 

As treatment progresses, patients report a firming of the skin that is backed up by research demonstrating acupuncture's ability to affect the production and dispersal of collagen, the protein that gives skin its underlying support.  Improved circulation lessens the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, while improved metabolism diminishes or even eliminates puffiness.  Needles in the body work to promote overall health, while special extra-fine facial needles encourage cell turnover and renewal, creating a fresher, more youthful complexion.  The relaxing effects of acupuncture enable the body to better cope with the stresses that can create habitual expressions like frowning or scowling, resulting in fewer wrinkles and a more calm, radiant face.
