Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

The Ultimate Facial Rejuvenation Programme

Everyone wants to look their best, but the effects of this programme will be far more profound and inclusive than simply improving one’s appearance. The radiance of natural beauty comes from a healthy body and mind. Beauty is achieved by working on both the inside and the outside in order to most effectively change ones appearance.

Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture has been shown to increase collagen production and aids in its dispersal thus helping to firm the skin and fill out wrinkles. Bags and sagging around the eyes, face and neck can be significantly reduced and toned up. Metabolism is greatly improved through these treatments, resulting in reduced puffiness often to the point of elimination. As acupuncture can profoundly effect the regulation of hormones in the body, conditions like acne and overly dry skin can be quite improved.

By substantially increasing the circulation of blood, lymph, and qi to the head, these treatments improve the complexion noticeably. Healthy facial colouring can be restored and there can be a tightening of the pores. Stress and habitual expressions which are so visible on the face are transformed resulting in a remarkably younger, calmer, and less worn looking face with which to meet the world. Inner beauty, vitality and serenity: all these very obviously visual benefits manifest in the appearance while many pre-existing health conditions are cleared up because acupuncture works by treating the whole body and addressing the underlying causes of aging and disease.

Who would benefit from Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is personalised according to individual need. It can help with deep wrinkles, fine lines, bags under the eyes, sagging, puffiness, drooping eyelids, double chin, large pores, dry skin or acne. A person with excess puffiness would require a different treatment than someone with dry skin.

Does it really make a difference?

A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects included: improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles and levelling of wrinkles, a glowing complexion, and overall revitalisation – not confined to the face.
