As we age, our skin also ages; this is a fact of
life. However, there is a new option for looking younger based on the
ancient tradition of Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
The wrinkles and other skin changes that begin to
appear as we grow older are part of the aging of the skin, but may also
be affected by internal imbalances. Chinese medicine is uniquely
equipped to assess and treat these imbalances so we feel and look
better.
During the initial visit for a facial rejuvenation
treatment, 2 examinations are done. First, a health assessment is done
with pulse diagnosis to evaluate the overall health. Second, face
diagnosis is done to evaluate the condition of the skin, muscle tone and
complexion. A treatment strategy is developed to improve both the
appearance of the face and the overall health of the client.
The face is cleansed with natural unscented products
and tiny needles are inserted into the areas requiring treatment. The
needles encourage the turnover of skin cells and stimulate an increase
of collagen in the area. They can also improve muscle tone and help the
circulation of the blood in the complexion. At the same time, needles
are inserted in the hands and feet to address the general health of the
body. As the overall health improves, the skin also changes dramatically
for the better. The goal of the acupuncture facial rejuvenation is to
improve the vitality and harmony of the person, along with softening
wrinkles, smoothing the sags and clearing the complexion.
Often the client will notice increased energy,
decreased anxiety and other unexpected effects from the acupuncture
treatment. Working on the face alone affects the entire person. Eight of
the 14 energy pathways begin or end on the face. Besides the relaxing
feeling of the facial, an internal relaxation takes place that can be
profound and healing. |
