Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation
The common conditions we treat:
Lines and wrinkles
The insertion of these needles will cause what we call a “microtrauma” to the face, which will cause your skin to produce collagen and elastin in response to this stimulation. This effect will trigger the gradual softening of lines and plumping of the face from underneath the surface, resulting in more youthful and vibrant skin.
Sagging, drooping and loss of firmness
Sagging and drooping is usually the result of the loss of firmness and elasticity of the skin and tissue in the face. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture works on the regeneration of fibers in the face by stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and healthy tissue, and eliciting a response can stimulate a muscle to tighten and strengthen, lifting certain areas of the face and giving your face a firmer appearance. In an little as 4 – 5 weeks, the skin can feel firmer and denser, resulting in a more plump and tighter appearance (individual results vary).
Dryness, flakiness and dullness
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture will allow the skin to immediately receive an instant delivery of blood flow to the face which will help the skin and connective soft tissue become healthier. Not only does this help surface dryness and flakiness, it also strongly stimulates and revitalizes the health and integrity of the facial soft tissue. This improves the skin's ability to retain moisture, making your skin more hydrated and manageable.
Pimples and Acne
Acne is one of the most commonly seen skin diseases in the clinic setting, both in teenagers and adults. Acne can consist of small bumps, whiteheads, and cystic boils. We treat all types of acne, and will assess you thoroughly to determine what type of acne you suffer from so you can have a better understanding your situation. Acne is usually an external manifestation of an internal disharmony. Treatment will be targeted to eliminate the root cause of your acne.
Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture can help fade and diminish dark spots by allowing fresh blood to the surface, destroying the stagnant pigments that cause discoloration, and give you a nice and even skin tone, without patchiness and discoloration.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a “course” of treatment?
This particular treatment is unique in that for best results, you will have two treatments per week for five consecutive weeks (total of 10 sessions). The effects become most noticeable and lasting on or about the seventh session, although effects are noticeable from the beginning.
Every person is different, so results will vary. Much depends on his or her condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. Following the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the results for five to ten years.
During our treatments, not only is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture used to relax and release the targeted muscle in the face, but general acupuncture is also used on the body to distress and re-balance the body. We will do a thorough assessment of your general health and provide acupuncture for the whole body to make sure that you leave as relaxed as possible. It is often recommended to supplement the Facial Rejuvenation program with Chinese Herbal Medicine, nutritional supplements, facial self-massage and/or acupressure, facial exercises, and a healthy diet.
Does it hurt?
The needles that are used for Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture are of the finest grade available and thinner than those usually used in general practice acupuncture. There is very little sensation when needled with them and only a mild stinging sensation may be experienced on some occasions. Most patients find the whole experience of a treatment to be a very relaxing experience.
What to prepare?
There isn’t much you need to do to prepare for your treatment. If you wear make up, we will help you remove it with a gentle make up remover during the treatment. If you would like to use your own products, please feel free to bring your own in. You are free to put on skincare and reapply make-up before you leave. No one will be able to tell you had a treatment!
The goal of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is anti-aging effects, relaxing the muscles of the face, and boosting collagen to reduce wrinkles. It also increases circulation and boosts elastin to firm and tone the face, and promotes detoxification to leave you with a clearer, more even complexion.
The minor damage created in the dermis by the needle is believed to encourage the skin's own repairing mechanisms to stimulate cell re-growth, which subsequently increases the production of collagen and elastin. This will have the effect of softening the lines and plumping up the face from underneath, resulting in more youthful and vibrant skin.
A safe, natural way to rejuvenate your skin and bring it back to life with a youthful glow! Reduce signs of aging including fine wrinkles, sagging jowls, discoloration/age spots, droopy eyes, and dark circles. You'll have enhanced skin tone, and softer, more vibrant skin.
