Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is achieved through the use of Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal™, which is a safe, painless and effective treatment for renewing the face, as well as, the whole body. This innovative system uniquely addresses the muscles of the face, causing a tightening and toning action, resulting in a "lifted" appearance. In addition, this trademarked system uses Chinese herbal masks and acupuncture points to improve facial tone, color, and diminish the appearance of wrinkles. It is a system that, not only addresses the face, but also concurrently treats the body to correct imbalances, restoring health while creating a relaxed, vibrant, and rejuvenated appearance. Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture has long promoted longevity, anti-aging, health, and observed the "shen", or inner reflection seen on the face, as an important element of health and well-being. The purpose of Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal™ is to not only address the physical well-being and appearance of the face, but to also empower the emotion well-being of the entire person.

CANDIATES USING Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal™
Fine, hair-like needles are placed at a variety of points in the ears, on the face and neck, around the eyes and mouth, in addition to other body points. The face then "lifts" itself through the muscle's rejuvenation and tightening action. The body's energy is stimulated, as well as blood and circulation, which improves facial color and enhances collagen production. Fine lines may be entirely erased, deeper lines reduced and bags around neck and eyes firmed. The intention of this technique in not to produce an immobile "mask-like" effect, but rather a healthy, glowing, rejuvenated, natural, uplifted appearance. The face mirrors a person's physical, emotional, and spiritual being; the practitioner of Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal™ seeks to honor the dignity of an individual's years and accumulated wisdom, by addressing the face and the total person. Proper nutrition, exercise and herbs are all utilized to enhance health and well-being. The patient is free to utilize as little or as much of the information provided in the course of a treatment as they desire. WHAT TO EXPECT Your initial visit will include a comprehensive evaluation, which focuses on developing your individualized treatment plan. Individual factors are evaluated such as stress, diet, lifestyle, genetic inheritance, proper digestion and elimination, sleep, emotional balance, and age, in developing a treatment plan. This plan will target specific problem areas and develop an overall health and lifestyle plan to enhance your desired outcome. Adjunctive therapies, such as Chinese herbal medicine, homeopathy, and nutritional therapies will be utilized to further enhance the impact of your treatment. Typically, after your initial assessment, one course of treatment consists of 12 one-hour sessions depending on your individual needs. Following this course of treatment, ongoing monthly maintenance is recommended to enhance and maintain the positive effects. Effects may vary substantially for smokers and those with poor health habits, poor eating habits, or less that optimal lifestyle habits. It should be noted that age is not as crucial as might be estimated; an older patient with a healthy lifestyle may in fact have a better outcome than a younger person who is prone to poor lifestyle habits. Your treatment will include the use of Chinese herbal masks, poultices, and moisturizers, as well as, acupuncture body and face points. Jade rollers, made of jade, a precious stone long used due to its health and beauty properties, are used to further enhance circulation and a create a revitalized appearance. The integration of these techniques, create a comprehensive system of facial renewal that is safe, cost effective, and relaxing. SHORT AND LONG TERM AFFECTS OF FACIAL ACUPUNTURE Following the first treatment; it is typical to observe an increased glow to the complexion caused by the increased Qi and blood flow to the face. The person's face appears more "open", rested, calm, and vibrant. Wrinkles begin to lessen, skin begins to become more toned, and eyes seem brighter. Following the 5th to 7th treatments, significant changes in facial appearance can occur with profound lessening of wrinkles, skin tone, and improved color. The impression of relaxation and calm is more pronounced on the face as if someone has just returned from vacation. Lifting of the jowls, neck and the eyes has begun and is usually noticeable. With continuing treatment, constitutional issues such as, digestive complaints can be noticeable improved or ameliorated. Following the end of a series (typically 12 sessions after initial visit), the patient is likely to notice a vibrant, toned, lifted appearance with reduction of deep lines, and a significant diminishing of shallow wrinkles. Of course, results can vary depending on patient's good or poor self-care habits.
