Facial Rejuvenation with acupuncture, Chinese and Western herbs, facial massage.

 There are many benefits of the facial rejuvenation treatments:

• it helps eliminating fine lines and sagging skin
• it improves the muscle tone and increases local circulation to the face
• it reduces stress evident in the face
• it lifts drooping eyelids and eliminates puffiness
• and it promotes the overall health and well being.

A series of facial rejuvenation treatments is needed, done 2 times a week for 6 to 8 weeks (12 to 16 sessions), after that to maintain the results it is necessary to be treated once a month. Every session takes about 1.5 hours and is quite intense. Needles are applied in the upper and lower extremities, the ears, neck, face and scalp. An average of 60 to 100 needles are used. To prevent bruising the client is advised to use an Arnica ointment or Traumeel after the session.

Before the first session an interview is necessary to detect any existing contraindications, like bleeding disorders, pregnancy, acute herpes out-brakes, flu and colds. There are also precautions with a history of High Blood Pressure, Diabetes and Migraines (many needles are used in the face and scalp and could trigger headaches). Since acupuncture is a good modality for the above conditions a regular acupuncture treatment may be necessary to address these problems first. A combination of acupuncture treatments, specific herbal supplements and skin care products, and of course a healthy life style are necessary for a successful facial rejuvenation.
