Acupuncture is known to move energy and blood throughout the body to encourage healing. But, did you know it also has the capability to reduce the signs of the aging process? Known as Facial Rejuvenation, this type of acupuncture uses both face and body points to help rebuild collagen and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. This results in overall muscle tone and dermal contraction, helping you feel and look younger. It’s a safe and natural alternative to invasive anti-aging procedures and chemicals.
These facials begin similarly to regular acupuncture treatments, where we do a short intake to get to know the patient and their constitution. From there, we choose a custom treatment complete with points, not just on the face, but also in other parts of the body. These body points are done to help ground you and maintain the qi coursing throughout the body. In addition to the needles, we may also incorporate gua sha and massage. By the end, not only may your complexion be brighter, but your mind and body will be relaxed and rejuvenated.
The most important preparation you can do for your facial treatment is to arrive with a freshly clean face, clear of any make up. Since we also incorporate body points in the treatment, also be sure to wear or bring loose comfortable clothing such as shorts and short sleeved shirts so that we can access these areas.
While you may see improvements after just one treatment, it is recommended that you have 12-15 treatments once or twice a week to see complete results.
