Acupuncture can provide an effective, safe, natural and drug-free approach to reduce the signs of aging. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture or “the acupuncture facelift,” is a holistic alternative to plastic surgery, botox injections, collagen/filler injections and laser/chemical peels. There are no side-effects and unlike the above procedures, the actual causes of aging skin are addressed and treated, not simply masked. Additionally, facial rejuvenation acupuncture is significantly less expensive than western surgical and chemical treatments.

One of the fundamentals of Chinese medicine is that the health of the body, the mind and the spirit is reflected on the face. Internal health radiates as external beauty—it is absolutely the source of our beauty and the source of our youth. Skin problems and aging ultimately result from internal imbalances, so the best way to address them is to correct the inner body imbalances. And the entire purpose of acupuncture is to do just this--acupuncture regulates the flow of qi (energy) to bring the body, mind and spirit back to a state of balance and harmony. Treating the face directly is actually not the priority in facial rejuvenation acupuncture--we treat the internal condition and the face rejuvenates. The wonderful, luminous glow to the face from the local facial part of the treatment is really just icing on the cake!

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture not only imparts a renewed youthfulness to the face, but it  also promotes your overall health, vitality and sense of well-being. Health and beauty are inseparable in Traditional Chinese Medicine and facial rejuvenation acupuncture demonstrates this impressively. Healing happens…beauty follows!

Results you can expect from facial rejuvenation acupuncture include:

  • Brighter, smoother, more refined complexion

  • Reduction of wrinkles—erasing of fine lines and diminishing of deeper lines

  • Lifting and firming of sagging and loose skin

  • Clearing or reduction of dark spots (“age spots”)

  • Lightening of dark circles around the eyes

  • Firming of under-eye bags

  • Reduction of sagginess

  • Lifting of droopy eyelids

  • Minimization of double chins

  • Clearing or reduction of age spots

  • Overall rejuvenation that is not limited to your face

Western medicine focuses on the symptom rather than what is causing the symptom—for example, it focuses on the wrinkle instead of the internal cause of the wrinkle.  Facial rejuvenation acupuncture treats you, not your wrinkles, seeking to balance the body by treating the underlying conditions that lead to wrinkling (or other areas of concern like dark spots, blemishes, sagging, eye circles and bags, etc.). Our TCM treatment strengthens the internal organs, frees the qi (energy) and blood to move smoothly to your face and distributes essence (the basic material that forms the human body, the part of you that regenerates and reproduces) and fluids evenly throughout your body. Your health and vitality are recaptured and your face will show it!

True and effective facial rejuvenation acupuncture is much more than just needling points of the face. To achieve dramatic and lasting results, facial rejuvenation also encompasses a full-body acupuncture treatment to address the root problems, enhanced by herbal and dietary therapy, facial and meridian massage and acupressure, qi gong or other energy exercises, and the use of customized skin care products. Acupuncture needles are often supplemented by mild electro-stimulation (similar to what a physical therapist uses), moxibustion (the burning of healing herbs over acupuncture points), cupping, gua sha and jade stick. These last two components use light scraping and massage of the skin respectively, to increase circulation and detoxify the skin.

Again (and again!), the outside reflects the inside. Acupuncture will nourish your inside and stimulate your body’s own natural healing power!
