• Would you like your face to look 10-15 years younger in 8 weeks without surgery?
  
  
• Is that even possible?
  
  
• Yes, it is!

With Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture it is possible to take years off your face in just 8 weeks!
The power of acupuncture and a relaxing head and neck massage are your gateways to younger, firmer skin and a more sculpted facial appearance. Soothing music plays in the background during your treatment.

And, for those who are serious about tapping into the fountain of youth and beauty, a food and supplement plan based on the latest research for a more youthful appearance is also yours.

How does it work?
Very fine acupuncture needles are inserted at very specific points that lift sagging jowls, eyebrows and eyelids. Other points are used to sculpt the cheekbones, reduce puffiness/bags under the eyes, improve muscle tone and increase collagen production.

When needed, special points are used that help to decrease redness, decrease the size of large pores, balance oiliness/dryness, decrease acne and reduce the overall signs of stress in the face. Specialized, tiny needles that are inserted with tweezers are used on wrinkles which help to eliminate fine lines and soften deep lines.

Once the acupuncture portion of the treatment is completed, a Facial Rejuvenating Massage is performed. This specialized massage helps to improve muscle tone of the head and neck and increases the supply of blood and nutrition to the muscles and tissues of the face, head and neck. Overall, the massage helps to further boost the results of the acupuncture treatment.

Is there anything I can do between sessions to boost the effectiveness of the Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and Massage treatments?
Yes! Each Facial Rejuvenation Patient also has the option of receiving an individualized Facial Rejuvenation Food and Supplement Plan, complete with menu suggestions and recipes. Following this plan during the course of your treatment can help to boost the effectiveness of the treatments.

This plan was designed to boost the anti-aging effects of the acupuncture as well as to improve energy, digestion, sleep and mood.

Do these treatments only benefit my skin?
These treatments will benefit your entire body. The acupuncture sessions have two purposes: (1) To improve the youthfulness of your skin and face, (2) To strengthen and rejuvenate your entire system.

It is important to know that in order for your appearance of youthfulness to be something that you can really enjoy, you must also feel energized and youthful and rejuvenated on the inside. The acupuncture sessions take this into account and are also geared towards achieving these whole-body effects.

This is the reason why I have designed the Facial Rejuvenation Food and Supplement Plan. And here’s a secret – it’s not just for improving the youthfulness of your skin! This plan is aimed at improving the youthfulness and vitality of your entire system.

The Facial Rejuvenation Food and Supplement Plan has two main parts: (1) Some foundational elements that are important for the optimal health of everyone and (2) An individualized portion based on my assessment in your first visit.

Are the acupuncture sessions painful?
Some people may find some of the needles to be slightly uncomfortable when they are being inserted, but once this is done, most find the treatment very relaxing and rejuvenating. In fact, it is not uncommon to doze off during a treatment.

What happens on my first visit?
Your first visit is 2 hours. In the first 30 minutes I assess your overall health and the needs of your skin. Then we start with your first Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and Massage session, which is 90 minutes in duration.

Using the information I obtained from you on your first visit, I put together your personalized Facial Rejuvenation Food and Supplement Plan between your first and second visit.

What happens on my second visit?
On your second visit I present you with your personalized Facial Rejuvenation Food and Supplement Plan and then you receive your second acupuncture session.

This visit and all subsequent visits are 90 minutes in length.

How many treatments are needed?
In general 10-15 sessions are needed, with most people needing 12 sessions.
The optimal frequency for treatments is: 2 treatments per week for 3 weeks and 1 treatment per week for 6 weeks. Some patients also prefer to have 1 treatment per week for 12 weeks.

In some cases, if faster results are required (eg. An upcoming event) treatments can be performed twice per week for 6 weeks. Adherence to the Anti-Aging Food and Supplement Plan will help to maximize results as well.

Is maintenance required?
Yes. Maintenance sessions can be done from once per month to once every 3 months. The optimal maintenance schedule is different for each patient.

Maintenance is a very important part of these treatments – you have just made an investment into your youthful appearance and this investment needs to be protected. Continued adherence to the Anti-Aging Food and Supplement Plan will help with maintaining your results as well and may enable you to space your maintenance sessions out a little more.

For example, a woman who may require monthly maintenance sessions, may only require sessions once every 6 - 12 weeks if she continues with her Anti-Aging Food and Supplement Plan. This would mean 4 - 8 maintenance sessions per year versus 12. This would also enable her to continue to enjoy the other health benefits (energy, digestion, sleep, mood) on a continuing basis as well.
