Everything You Need To Know…
Acupuncture is the insertion of the fine needles into the body at specific points shown as effective in the treatment of specific health problems. These points have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years.
One for the many acupuncture treatments advancing in popularity are Acupuncture Face lifts. Acupuncture, a Chinese medical technique, has the promise to bring back youth to your face. It rids the fine lines and wrinkles caused from aging.
With the insertion of these tiny needles, it stimulates the face’s natural collagen and elastin production to endorse better cellular metabolism. These needles target the many muscles in the face to lead to a higher production of collagen and elastin.
In acupuncture, the main belief is that there are blockages in Qi, energy, within the body that can cause illness or imbalance. The application of acupuncture needles can help free the blockages within the body and let the Qi, flow freely, through bringing health and wellness back.
Acupuncture can:
- increase collagen and elasticity in the face
- tighten the skin on the face
- improve muscle tone
- hydrate the skin
- help eliminate toxins, for example, to drain lymph and edema
- reduce creases
- clear acne and rosacea
- reduce pore size
- tighten sagging jowls and neck skin
- lighten age spots
- decrease wrinkles and fine lines including: crow’s feet, laughter lines, neck lines, and stress brow lines, bags under the eyes, droopy eye lids, puffiness, sagging and poor skin tone.
Surgical treatment vs. Natural treatment
Surgery is not only costly, but can cause damage physically, by scarring, creating channel blockage, bleeding and bruising. Some unpleasant reactions to the use of antiseptics, anesthesia, and other medications are all things to be aware of. With surgery, patients are advised to use yunnan bai yao, vitamin c, and arnica to prevent major damage to blood vessels.
Natural treatment enhances the skin’s own ability to heal, and looks more natural by opening the channels to improve circulation which tightens the skin naturally. The needles can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and cellular metabolism. Natural treatment does not only make a difference for your facial appearance, but it promotes relaxation and general well-being by treating the whole body including the shen.
Patients that have had the surgical facelift:
- Will greatly benefit from a facial rejuvenation
- Can see longer lasting healthier results
- A facial rejuvenation treats the blood stasis, channel blockage, and potential numbness and pain of surgical facelifts, even years later.
How to determine your treatment
Acupuncturists will analyze your general health such as your eating, sleep cycle and sleeping habits, as well as your stress levels. After analyzing, the acupuncturist then develops special treatment for each person.
Environmental Factors that could impact your skin condition:
- Pollution, makeup, poor skin care – causes blocked pores
- Sun exposure, dry climates – causes damage, dryness, yin deficiency
- Smoking, alcohol, drug use
- Dehydration
- Poor diet, lack of exercise
- Stress, tension, emotional imbalance
- Qi and blood deficiency, poor sleep (vicious cycle)
- Gravity, sleeping on side of face
Results:
Results may vary. Usually results are seen after the first treatment and even more improvement is noted a few hours later or the next day. Skin tone, complexion and coloration improve notably with each treatment.
To see results, patients need a series of treatments. Advance of treatment depends on acupuncturist and the patient’s condition can vary from 6-25 treatments. The more wrinkles, the more treatments needed.
Other Benefits:
Your face is the reflection of your entire body’s functions. It can show the stress from your day to day life. With the procedure of Acupuncture facelifts, the insertion of needles throughout the body helps you to relax, regulate Qi and blood, enhance functions of all of your organs, and harmonize internal secretion. Needles on the face can also help sinus problems or headaches.
