The Picture of Glowing Health

9/10/2014

One of the most common things all my facial acupuncture patients tell me is that they get complimented on their complexion.  Co-workers and friends will ask, “Did you go away over the weekend? You look so well rested.” Or, “Something is different about you.  I can’t say what it is, but you look like you glow.”

Indeed, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is commonly referred to as a Botox Alternative and is sought by people looking for a natural anti-aging treatment, especially to reduce lines and wrinkles, but it truly does so much more.  It works both from the inside out and the outside in to brighten and improve your entire complexion.

Facial Acupuncture Balances and Brightens the Skin

Picture
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is highly effective in balancing and brightening the skin because in Chinese Medicine, we can’t divorce the face from the rest of the body and your overall constitution.  Our focus in facial acupuncture treatment is the face, to be sure, but the channels that traverse the face traverse the entire body so we cannot treat one without the other.  Furthermore, the appearance of the complexion is a reflection of your internal Qi - the face is dominated by the Stomach channel which in turn is dependent upon the health and function of the Spleen (indicating digestive function), and aging in particular is governed by your Kidney Qi.

To successfully slow the hands of time and improve your skin, all of these energies must be balanced and addressed through the combination of facial and body acupuncture treatment.  The result is not only a brightening effect on the face, but an overall improvement in health and wellbeing that is often palpable, even if no other specific complaints are present.

As the overall health of your Qi improves along with the increase in Qi and Blood flow to the face specifically, we address a number of skin issues.  Among them:
  • reducing bags and dark circles under the eyes
  • reduction of acne
  • lifting and firming the skin
  • reducing lines and wrinkles
  • tightening pores
  • firming skin through increased collagen and elastin production
  • improved and more even skin tone
  • relaxed muscle tone
  • hormone balancing

All of these things combine to create a truly beautiful picture and noticeably improved facial appearance.  Especially during hormonal shifts, when your skin can change from dry to oily or even to combination, facial acupuncture is an incredibly powerful tool because of the concurrent treatment of skin concerns and hormone balancing.

Facial Acupuncture - Not Just the Face

Picture
Remember that there is more to your face than just the face itself as well - your neck is very important.  In Chinese Medicine the neck is referred to as the “Celestial Pivot” since it is very important to the communication between the body, the brain and the heavens.  Ensuring that your neck muscles are relaxed so that flow between the head and body is smooth is essential.  Neck pain, therefore, is very successfully treated along with facial concerns.  Furthermore, neck lines and wrinkles can also be addressed, especially with cupping therapy.

Facial Acupuncture for Treatment and Prevention

Picture
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is an amazing anti-aging therapy because it can be used both actively, for the treatment of lines, wrinkles, sagging, uneven skin tone, eye concerns, etc. and passively as prevention.  Indeed, Facial Acupuncture as a maintenance treatment to reduce the formation of lines and wrinkles is traditionally how the Empress of China began using this technique - Facial Acupuncture plus tonic herbs and facial massage using a jade stick or roller was part of a regular longevity regime for the royal family.

The ideal time to start monthly facial acupuncture treatments for prevention, is actually between 25 and 30 years of age.  25 is often when we see our first fine lines and wrinkles appear, and by 35 most people have 1-2 lines that are noticeable and beginning to deepen.  It is ideal, therefore, to add facial acupuncture into your regime at this time to maintain the most youthful appearance.

I have successfully reduced deep lines and eliminated fine lines in women all the way up to 60, however, and in women 70 and older I have been able to remove new lines (that formed within the last 2 months before treatment) and slow the aging process significantly.  Between 60 and 70 line removal is less predictable due to genetics and lifestyle factors, but prevention of anything new is still very strong.  Regardless of when you start, the results of facial acupuncture treatment can be maintained 2-5 years with regular monthly treatment after a full facial series.
