FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal
What is Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal?
Facial acupuncture is a full constitutional treatment that views the face as an extension of both the emotions and the energy channels of the body – which flow from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head.
This technique utilizes both ancient knowledge of energy flow over the face, via the acupuncture meridians, and our modern understanding of the musculature of the face.
When the face is needled, blood and energy (qi) flow increase, carrying nutrients to the cells. The body interprets the insertion of the needle as a “positive” injury which can then stimulate collagen and elastin production.
The Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal protocol is more than just acupuncture. It is deeply relaxing and is designed to treat both, underlying constitutional imbalances, and the face itself. This means that as the appearance of the face is treated so is the overall health of the body:
Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal promotes health and well-being by:
# improving the functioning of the respiratory, digestive, nervous and endocrine systems of the body
# improving metabolism
# increasing energy
# improving immune function
# reducing stress and aiding self-esteem
Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal may erase as many as 5 to 15 years from any face – with results apparent after a few treatments. Specifically, it:
# Improves collagen/elastin production and muscle tone
# Helps to reduce bags and sagging tendencies/sunken areas are “fleshed out”
# Helps to eliminate fine lines and diminish larger wrinkles
# Helps to reduce double chins and lift drooping eyelids
# Tightens pores and brightens eyes
# Increases local blood and lymph circulation
# Improves facial colour and provides more radiance to the skin
Multi-layered Treatment Procedure
Each treatment begins with a herbal face wash, followed by a mask utilizing Chinese herbs and heat.
Acupuncture is then carried out. Firstly, needles are placed in the body, to treat constitutional imbalances, and to start circulating qi and blood. Needles are then placed in the face to bring the qi and blood to the areas that are to be treated. This two-stage approach means that qi and blood are made available to be able to nourish the face and treat problems such as wrinkles, discoloration or loss of tone.
The needles are very fine and are sterile and single-use only. Needles will be retained for approximately 20 minutes.
After the needles have been removed another face mask is used to nourish and further lift the face.
Finally, after the mask has been washed away, the face and neck are massaged using a high quality cream that combines Chinese herbs, vitamin C, green tea and pearl powder.
All of the products that we use are organic and preservative-free. They contain no artificial colour or fragrance and have not been tested on animals.
Each treatment is specifically tailored for the individual
