Facial Revitalisation Treatment with Acupuncture

What is Facial Revitalisation?

Facial Revitalisation is a painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of aging. The treatment is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into areas of the face, ears, hands, trunk and legs, along channels of energy.

What are the effects?

Facial Revitalisation may erase as many as 5-15 years from the face, with results apparent after just a few treatments. Fine lines may be entirely eliminated and deeper wrinkles diminished. Bags under the eyes can be reduced, jowls firmed, puffiness eliminated and deeper wrinkles diminished.

Other likely results include, moisturising of the skin with increased local circulation of blood and lymph to the face; increased collagen production; muscle tone; improving hormonal balance.

What is the course of treatment?

Generally this consists of 10 sessions. The effects become most noticeable and lasting on or about the seventh session. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. Following the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the results. It is often a good idea to supplement Facial Revitalisation with herbal and nutritional supplements and dietary advice.

Does it really make a difference?

Many sources indicate that acupuncture has been used for at least 2,000 years to treat a wide range of conditions. Having proven itself with billions of people,, acupuncture has survived the test of time. The effectiveness of acupuncture is due to its direct manipulation of the body's energy system-balancing energy, removing blockages or adding energy where necessary.

A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture, reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Revitalisation, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects included improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles, the levelling of wrinkles, a ruddier complexion and overall rejuvenation-not confined to the face.

Is Facial Revitalisation a new and trendy technique?

Not at all. For thousands of years, the Chinese have known that beauty comes from the inside. At least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD0, rejuvenation practices were employed by the Empress and the Emperor's concubines. Even for those unfamiliar with the principles fo Chinese medicine, it is still known that increased circulation helps the body to look and feel better.

Why choose Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture over a surgical face-lift?

Whilst not a replacement for surgery Acupuncture Facial Revitalisation is an excellent alternative. It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery and is safe, virtually painless, has no side effects or risk of disfigurement. While Facial Revitalisation cannot reshape one's nose or chin, it is a more subtle rejuvenation which takes years off one's face-safely and naturally while improving overall health.

Are there any contra-indications?

Facial Revitalisation is contra-indicated for those with high blood pressure, sufferers of migraines, or those who bruise and bleed easily.

It should be noted that minor bruising can occur after a Facial Revitalisation treatment, but this normally goes within a few days.
