What is it?...Although the technique has also been referred to as an "Acupuncture facelift", this is more than just a cosmetic procedure.  Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a painless, non-surgical technique that aids in reducing the signs of the aging process. This treatment is based on the principles of Oriental Medicine and involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into specific areas 0f the face, and body. This is a whole body treatment, designed to aid the body in its own rejuvenating and healing process. 

It is not designed to reshape your face, nose or chin.

The Effects

The treatment may erase as many as five to fifteen years from the face, with results apparent after a few treatments. Fine lines may be entirely eliminated, and deeper wrinkles made softer. Bags under the eyes can be reduced, jowls firmed, facial puffiness eliminated, droopy eyelids lifted and double chins (a.k.a. the "waddle") minimized. The effects are subtle and happen within your own body's time frame. Effects include the skin becoming delicate and fair, improvement in the elasticity of facial muscles, softening of deep wrinkles and a healthier looking complexion.
