Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation
Not only were the ancient Chinese concerned with longevity, they were also concerned with looking young. Although Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation (AFR) is relatively new in the United States, it has been used for thousands of years in China by the Emperor and the wealthy. The face is a reflection of what is going on inside the body. Traditional Chinese medicine addresses the internal conditions that are reflected in the external appearance.
A polluted internal environment will inevitably show up on the face and the body. Chinese medicine will not just work with your external appearance, but all of your organ systems in order to ensure that long term change is dependent upon the condition of what’s inside. Thus, Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation is the only procedure that will address the underlying root causes of wrinkles.
Besides the obvious changes of a fresher and more youthful appearance, patients have reported improved digestion, better quality of sleep, reduction of hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms, alleviation of mild depression and anxiety, improved energy, and an overall sense of well-being.
Acupuncture facial rejuvenation works by influencing the production of collagen and by improving muscle tone.
According to research, most wrinkles are caused by a loss of muscle tone. Each line is an indication of muscular involvement. There are also some complicating factors such as chronic illness, smoking, sun damage, stress, and certain medications.
The treatments are tailored to the individual. Therefore, a unique needling protocol is created for each patient’s problem area(s).
The face has 57 muscles that are all connected to each other. When one muscle goes down, they all go down together! Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation can help to tone these delicate facial muscles.
Most patients report greatest improvement with fine lines and less results with deeper creases. |
