What Is Facial Rejuvenation?

There are many procedures to choose from when it comes to facial rejuvenation. Most of them cause harmful side effect due to the use of harsh chemicals and invasive techniques that cause bruising, swelling and significant pain. One facial rejuvenation procedure falls in to the natural category and is called cosmetic acupuncture. It is a technique using fine, hair-like acupuncture needles placed into areas of the face that minimize wrinkles and fine lines. Although this technique has been used for well over 5,000 years in China and Asia, it became popular i n the America when Hollywood stars, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Cher and Madonna started using this ancient beauty secret and it then became all the rage in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and London. The reason for its appeal is large. There are no toxins or chemicals injected into the face, no swelling, no bruising, no anesthesia and no going under the knife. So a patient can walk in for a treatment just before a red carpet event and walk out with glowing skin and less appearance of wrinkles. Of course, word got out and now facial rejuvenation has been popular among many women looking to minimize wrinkles without any concerns of side effects. This procedure also creates a natural glow to the skin in that the needles create a sort of minimal microtrauma to the face which then creates a flow of blood up to the skin. Over the course of treatments given, the body creates an accelerated buildup of collagen which minimizes the appearance of fine lines on the face. The success of these treatments is largely due to the fact that the treatments work from the inside of the body to promote radiant health outside to the face.

Why Is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture The Best Choice?

When compared to fillers or surgical facelifts, facial rejuvenation acupuncture is clearly the ideal option. The cost of surgical facelifts is usually $30,000 and up. Also, facelifts are too drastic to be done for most patients, unless they are well into their 70′s. Additionally, many risks are involved including scarring, nerve damage, allergic reactions, infection, complications due to anesthesia and a long and painful recovery. Often, pain medication is needed during the recovery period. Facial fillers offer temporary results with dangerous side effects such as paralysis of surrounding muscles, which may impair natural facial expressions as well as allergic reaction, puffiness, swelling, bruising and downtime. Additionally, the long-term effects of fillers are still unknown, and may prove to adversely impact the whole body. Just think about what happens when these substances from the injectables are broken down and go into your bloodstream. The same harmful side effects may be seen with chemical peels or laser treatments.

How Does The Course Of Treatment Work?

The course of the treatment starts with ten sessions, twice per week for five weeks. Each treatment is approximately one hour long. Visible results will be noticeable after 6-7 sessions, and typically results last from three to five years after a course of ten treatments. Maintenance is strongly recommended to sustain the health of the skin, and should be done one a week to once a month, depending on the severity of the wrinkles. This allows the collagen to continue doing its job of minimizing the formation of fine lines.

When considering facial rejuvenation, please be aware that each individual’s skin will respond differently to the treatment depending on their age and lifestyle, and therefore the timeframe of results may vary.

During the treatment, the patient will receive medical acupuncture which is included in their treatment, in order to address concerns such as digestive, hormonal, stress and the like. It is known in chinese medicine that when the digestive system is working ideally, the appearance of the facial skin begins to glow.

Can I Get Botox Injections As Well?

Yes, many patients opt for treating deep wrinkles with fillers such as Botox and choose to get facial rejuvenation treatments for fine to medium wrinkles. The two treatments go hand in hand. Also, getting facial rejuvenation treatments while going in for Botox treatments will help keep the Botox doing its job for a longer period of time than usual. This means fewer trips to the doctor’s office and time and money saved.

Is It Safe?

Yes, unlike more invasive treatments, facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a natural process that enhances the body’s natural ability to create collagen. It requires no drugs or injections, involves no risk, no recovery time, no puffiness, swelling, skin allergic reactions or any other negative side effects.
