What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. Acupuncturists have been using this noninvasive medical system for over 4000 years to diagnose and help millions of people get well and stay healthy.

An Acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body. This activates the body’s release of endogenous pain killers such as endorphins, improves blood flow with delivery of oxygen and nutrients for cellular respiration that produces energy, decreases inflammation, balances endocrine production of hormones and neurotransmitters and brings the body back into the parasympathetic nervous system rest, digest and repair response and homeostatic ideal state that promotes self-healing and immune function. Natural healing is promoted that enhances recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional health. It also can improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.

Acupuncture has been safely used without side effects to treat skin complaints and reduce signs of aging for centuries.

In fact, facial rejuvenation acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture, has a recorded history going as far back as China’s Sung Dynasty (960AD – 1270AD), when the Empress and the Emperor’s concubines used it to engender beauty and good health.

When Acupuncture is used to create overall balance within the body, the physical, mental and emotional patterns that contribute to aging are addressed, helping you look and feel younger.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can provide a safe, effective, natural, and drug-free approach to reducing the signs of aging. A facial rejuvenation using these ancient techniques can improve the muscle tone of the face and neck while addressing underlying imbalances that may have contributed to the aging process.

According to TCM, wrinkles begin internally from a constitutional imbalance and fundamental weakness of Qi. Qi circulates throughout the body within a series of pathways called meridians.

Flowing through these pathways, Qi provides nourishment, support, and energy to every cell, tissue, muscle, and organ.

As we get older it becomes more difficult for Qi to flow upwards to lift the face. This leads to inadequate muscle tone, and over time, wrinkles and sagging skin. A variety of factors can contribute to this poor diet, digestion, and circulation, or emotional and environmental stresses.

Give your skin a lift. Facial Rejuvenation using acupuncture tightens pores, improves muscle tone and dermal contraction while enhancing and increasing the elasticity of the skin. Acupuncture can reduce signs of aging by strengthening and stimulating the circulation of Qi within the meridian pathways, especially those of the face. You will look and feel more energetic, calm, vibrant and healthy.

Acupuncture treatments may be combined with herbal supplements, exercise, and acupressure in order to maximize results.

Facial rejuvenation with acupuncture and TCM is virtually painless, and a non-surgical method to reduce the signs of aging.

Before using drugs or surgery to improve appearance, consider acupuncture. It is an effective, natural, safe, drug-free and painless alternative. It can even help your entire body look and feel younger.
