Facial Rejuvenation
 Facial Rejuvenation also known as Cosmetic
Acupuncture is a unique style of treatment that
helps to revitalize and brighten the complexion.
It is highly effective in eliminating fine
lines, reducing wrinkles, lifting tired sagging
skin, and brightening the face with a healthy
glow.
Is it effective?
Facial
Rejuvenation is highly effective and more
importantly very natural. It uses your natural
healing abilities to invigorate the skin.
Can it make me
look younger?
Yes. In the first
session we will identify the most troublesome
areas and make a plan to systematically
eliminate the signs of aging. Before and after
pictures will be taken as most people will often
forget what they looked like prior to a facial
rejuvenation course.
How much younger
will it make me look?
It depends on your
age, lifestyle and what issues you have. On
average people will notice a difference of 5-10
years.
Should I wait
until I get ‘old’?
No, start now.
Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture is extremely
effective at preventing signs of aging. We also
offer a monthly prevention plan that will stop
any wrinkles and problem areas before they get
started. It is one of the best and most natural
ways to prevent premature aging of the skin.
Where do the
needles go?
Tiny needles are
inserted in the face and scalp. Additional
needles can be inserted in the arms and legs to
improve overall energy and health.
Does it hurt?
Sometimes you will
feel a slight prick as the needle is inserted,
but the sensation will diminish within seconds.
Our technique is very gentle; most people find
it very relaxing and some even fall asleep once
the needles are in.
How long does it
take?
A session takes
between 45 minutes to 1 ½ hours depending on how
many areas require treatment.
How does cosmetic
acupuncture work?
Think about what
happens when you get a sliver. It turns red and
inflamed because all the blood is rushing to the
area. Cosmetic acupuncture works much the same.
By placing needles in areas that are wrinkled or
tired looking, blood rushes to the area. While
the blood is there it heals and rejuvenates the
skin. The stimulation from the needle causes an
increase in collagen production. It is very
simple and effective.
What can it do?
Facial
Rejuvenation Acupuncture can eliminate fine
lines, reduce wrinkles, diminish vertical lines
between the eyebrows, reduce crow’s feet, lift
sagging jowls, decrease puffiness around the
eyes, brighten the complexion, tighten the
pores, control redness, lift eyelids, and reduce
signs of aging.
Is this just
acupuncture on the face?
No, Facial
Rejuvenation is very different from TCM
acupuncture. Different needles are used and
specialized training is required. The
practitioner must have an extremely gentle touch
and a high degree of needle control, manual
dexterity and accuracy. Not every Acupuncturist
is able to perform Facial Rejuvenation
acupuncture. It takes a lot of training and
experience is to create effective and lasting
results. Before committing to treatment, always
ask your practitioner about their training and
experience. Jeff Chand has completed training in
specialized Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture and
has over 10 years experience. He has performed
hundreds of Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture
treatments with success and patient
satisfaction.
 Is it like a facelift?
A facelift is a
surgical procedure that is very aggressive and
unnatural. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is
gentle and uses the body’s natural healing
ability to revitalize the complexion. The result
is very natural and you look like a refreshed
version of yourself.
How many sessions
will it take?
A course of facial
rejuvenation will take between 10 to 12
treatments. Best results are achieved by
receiving treatment two to three times a week.
Results are visible after approximately the 6th
treatment.
Help! I have a
wedding/special event that I want to look my
best for. Can you help?
Yes! The sooner
the better. Even if you only have a few weeks
before a big event we can revitalize your skin
so you look and feel your best.
Is this similar
to…?
There is nothing
that is similar to Facial Rejuvenation
acupuncture. Most therapies work from the
outside in, whereas acupuncture invigorates the
skin from the inside out. In addition,
acupuncture is completely natural and it has no
harmful side effects.
Will this
interfere with other cosmetic procedures I’m
getting?
No, in fact it can
increase the effectiveness of external
treatments and help repair any damage from
harmful chemicals.
What about my
overall health?
We will balance
your overall health through the process as well.
Specific points are needled to stimulate the
immune system and boost energy.
How long will it
last?
With a complete
course of treatments and monthly maintenance,
results can last 5 to 10 years.
Who invented
facial rejuvenation acupuncture?
It was developed
hundreds of years ago by accident. When treating
Bell’s palsy (one-sided facial paralysis)
Acupuncturists noticed that the treated side of
the face looked refreshed and renewed while the
untreated side was unchanged. This slowly
evolved into Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture.
I have a
laser/electrical machine at home is this the
same?
No, acupuncture
rejuvenates from the inside out and increases
blood circulation unlike anything else. While
the home use stimulators can be helpful they are
not nearly as effective as acupuncture.
What about facial
exercises?
Facial exercises
work really well with Facial Rejuvenation
acupuncture to help tone and lift the skin. If
you don’t know any exercises yet we can help
you.
What about Botox?
Botox is an
injection that temporarily paralyzes muscles so
that you are unable to tense them therefore
reducing wrinkles. While it is effective, many
agree that it is unnatural to introduce such
chemicals into the body. It may sometimes look
unusual because you are unable to make certain
natural facial expressions. It is also worth
considering that over time, the body becomes
used to Botox and steadily requires more
treatments.
Do I have to
change my makeup?
No. Our goal is to
make is so you don’t have to wear as much make
up because you will naturally look so radiant!
I currently use
this product and it guarantees that I’ll look 10
years younger…
Products generally
work from the outside in whereas acupuncture
works from the inside out. If you what to look
your best you have to feel your best. The
products may help but acupuncture is most
effective.
 My forehead lines are really bothering me, can you fix it?
In the first
session we will determine what facial area needs
treatment the most. If something really bothers
you please tell us and we can focus on that
area. Often people become fixated on a certain
wrinkle or line but it may not be as noticeable
as you think and it may be best to work on other
areas.
I used to be a
sun worshipper, can facial rejuvenation help?
Yes, acupuncture
can help reverse years of sun damage.
I’m a smoker,
will that affect my skin?
Smoking is one of
the most damaging things a person can do for
their complexion. The sooner you stop the
better.
I have really
sensitive skin, is that a problem?
Usually people
have sensitive skin because of the body being
off balance and because the skin is too thin.
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture will help
balance the body and thicken the skin.
When I catch a
glimpse of myself I look angry, can you help?
Yes, usually that
is a sign that there is a lot of tension in the
face. Just as the muscles in the body can hold
tension so can the muscles of the face.
Acupuncture can greatly relieve facial tension
and make you look more relaxed and calm.
People are always
asking me if I am tired. Can you help?
Yes. Sometimes
people look tired even when they are not due to
bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids and a
greyish skin tone. We uses a technique that
actually lifts the skin. This will help you look
refreshed and energetic.
Is this vain?
Absolutely not!
When you feel good about the way you look you
feel more confident. That is what acupuncture
facial rejuvenation is about - truly looking on
the outside what you feel on the inside.
