Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation treatments are a series of 10-12 treatments aimed at improving the vitality and appearance of one’s face, with attention given to one’s overall health as well. Maintenance treatments at specific intervals are also recommend after the initial series. There is a specific protocol with this, but treatments are also aimed at the unique needs of the individual. Body points are needled as well as points on the face. I use only the highest quality and thinnest needles for use on the face. Many of the needles used are genuinely tiny, six millimeter hair thin needles are used for most wrinkles, for example, and are so small they are inserted with tweezers.
As a practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine as well, I am also able to provide recommendations for appropriate herbal supplements.
Based on the principles and practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, similar treatments have been done in China since the Sung Dynasty (960-1280 AD) (or so they say) when they were initially performed on the Emperor’s wives and concubines. These treatments are currently very popular in the US, Asia, and in Europe.
