Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture
Facial Acupuncture (or Cosmetic Acupuncture as it is sometimes
referred to) is a safe, virtually painless, non-surgical way of reducing signs
of the ageing process and creating a radiant complexion.
A recent report in the International Journal of Clinical
Acupuncture researched the effects of Facial Acupuncture on 300
cases. Of these cases 90% had marked effects over one course of
treatment, including: improvement of the elasticity of facial
muscles; levelling of wrinkles; and overall rejuvenation. You
may think that this is just another new fad; however it is
reported that as early as the Sung Dynasty (960-1270AD), facial acupuncture was used on the empress and the emperor’s
concubines!
By working on the classic Chinese Medicine principle, “Where qi
goes, blood flows” Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture can:
• |
Bring blood to the face and improve circulation |
• |
Stimulate the lymphatic system to drain away toxins |
• |
Improve facial muscle tone to reduce lines and wrinkles |
By stimulating just
under the skin surface, Facial Acupuncture works at
a deeper level than some other techniques. Many of the
traditional Chinese meridians end or start in the face, allowing
acupuncture to not only work locally, but to simultaneously treat underlying
factors contributing to the ageing process.
During a
treatment, very fine acupuncture needles are gently inserted just below the skin
surface to invigorate circulation in the facial area. A machine can be attached
to the needles to enhance the treatment and increase muscle tone. Facial
Revitalisation Acupuncture combines acupuncture with facial acupressure massage
and warming techniques to create a unique and blissful experience.
