LOOK GREAT FOR
THE HOLIDAYS WITH
AN ACUPUNCTURE FACELIFT
Cosmetic Acupuncture is the only healthy option for cosmetic improvements currently available to women. Although not well know in the United States until recently, it has been used for centuries in China by Emperors and the wealthy. Many Hollywood stars such as Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cher are having weekly
acupuncture facelifts to ward off their wrinkles.
Acupuncture cannot sculpt a new nose nor can it add a dimple in the cheek but it can offer a safe and effective treatment to decrease bags under the eyes and puffiness, firm facial muscles, tighten the skin, lift drooping eyelids, and also aid in balancing hormones that can cause acne. It is very effective for minimizing or even erasing fine lines and wrinkles, lifting the chin, plumping the cheeks, reducing the depth of deeper lines resulting in a generally brighter, consistently smoother face.
Cosmetic Acupuncture for the face increases the production of collagen and elastin, moisturizes the skin, and improves muscle tone which helps prevent future aging and wrinkling.
Cosmetic Acupuncture also improves local blood and lymph circulation. Some say that
Acupuncture can erase 5 to 15 years off of the face.
A 1996 article in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that of 300 cases treated with facial
Acupuncture, 90 percent had marked beneficial effects with one course of 10
Acupuncture treatments. These patients demonstrated improvement in the elasticity of facial muscles, smoother facial skin, less wrinkles and an overall healthier complexion.
Cosmetic Acupuncture can be both safe and effective in treating not only the surface appearance but also in treating the individual's underlying condition associated with the aging process, treating overall health and well being. The way a person ages can say a lot about a person's internal health. Exterior conditions can be results of interior imbalances. Different areas on the face represent different organs. For example, the kidneys are represented under the area of the eyes. A person may have some kind of kidney imbalance if there are bags or discoloration under the eyes. The mouth represents the stomach and the digestive system, and the cheeks represent the lungs.
Acupuncture treats the body as a whole by treating both the current symptoms and the root conditions that have lead to the present symptoms.
