How does facial acupuncture work?

The principle of facial rejuvenation acupuncture is that it rebalances the body�s motivating energy � Qi (pronounced �chee�). As we mature, the amount of Qi and blood in the skin and underlying facial muscles slowly begins to decrease, causing a loss of nourishment, support and moisture. Focusing on the acupuncture points in the face will increase the flow of blood and energy to the skin in that area. The needles, inserted very shallowly, bring collagen and elastin to the area, causing the skin to become more supple, elastic and firm. This process hydrates, plumps up and boosts the skin�s supply of nutrients and oxygen, thus decreasing wrinkles and blemishes. The overall result is a more youthful appearance.

What is the treatment timeline?

Cosmetic acupuncture begins with a complete patient evaluation, including stress, diet, lifestyle, sleep, proper digestion and elimination. The following durations of treatment are typically recommended (certain skin types may require more treatments):

• 2 Treatments a week for 5 weeks. $100 per visit. BUY IN BULK � Pay in advance SAVE $105! Total cost of 10 treatments paid in advance is $895.
• 1-2 Booster Treatments a month, depending on need. $100 per visit.

Results can be seen as soon as the first treatment, with significant improvements visible by the 5th to 7th treatment. By the end of a series, the patient should look and feel 5-15 years younger. The results will last 3-5 years, depending on the lifestyle of the patient, and longer with monthly booster treatments. Dietary, supplemental and topical recommendations will be provided to reinforce the program.

Cosmetic Acupuncture vs. Botox or Surgery:

Botox and surgery covers only one area of the face where the acupuncture addresses the whole face for a fraction of the cost.

• With acupuncture, there is no down time or residual pain
• No loss of facial movements or sensations
• No risk of drastic or horrifying results
• Acupuncture is virtually risk free-minor bruising is the exception

Dr Andrew Weil has this to say about cosmetic acupuncture:
A Safe Face Lift? Published: 4/8/2011

"Acupuncture has been touted as a less invasive alternative to traditional facelifts. While I personally believe that procedures attempting to halt or deny the aging process can be roadblocks to aging gracefully, facial acupuncture does offer a safer approach than surgery and is free of the side effects of therapies such as Botox injections. It may also have psychological benefits - patients may feel relaxed as a side effect of the acupuncture. With or without acupuncture, a healthy diet, exercise and stress reduction techniques are still my top recommendations for a healthy lifestyle."

How Cosmetic Acupuncture Works:

The needles, inserted very shallowly, bring collagen, elastin and blood to the area, causing the skin to become more supple, elastic and firm. An average of 10 treatments over ten weeks time will result in noticeable smoother skin. Certain skin types may require a handful more treatments. Results can be seen as soon as the first session, or by the 5th or 6th session. The treatment will last 3-5 years depending on the lifestyle of the patient, and longer with monthly �tune-ups.� Dietary, supplemental and topical recommendations will be provided to reinforce the program.
