The
acupuncture facelift is a holistic alternative to cosmetic surgery,
injections and laser-chemical peels. Cosmetic acupuncture effectively
rejuvenates the face, firms the skin, increases blood flow to local
tissues and muscles which help lift and tighten the neck, face and
eyebrows. The process also increases cellular functions and collagen
production, which causes lines and wrinkles to fade and makes the
face appear healthy and lustrous.
The advantage of cosmetic acupuncture is that it is non-surgical,
cost effective and safe. The treatments reduce the signs of aging
by promoting youthful physiological functions that decrease with
age. Your skin and muscles become more oxygenated, toxins and cellular
byproducts are removed, and the skin responds more favourably to
environmental and chemical stress.
The procedure involves the insertion of very fine hair like needles
designed specifically for this purpose. There is hardly any sensation
at all when the needles are inserted. Many find the treatment very
comfortable and relaxing.
To achieve the necessary results depending on the age and lifestyle
of the individual approximately 12 treatments are required. It is
preferable to have more than one treatment a week, especially at
the start. Each treatment lasts approximately 1-1.5 hours, depending
on each individual. The treatments are also combined with a total
body assessment and treatment according to traditional Chinese theory.
As required, herbal formulas for ingestion and facial masks may
be applied.
Many individuals who come to us
for treatment find that other conditions they suffered from prior
to our treatments such as headaches, PMS, hot flashes, digestive
and sinus problems become significantly diminished.
