The History of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture actually has a long history which began in China during the Sung Dynasty which lasted from 960 to 1279 AD. It was primarily used as a cosmetic enhancement for the ruling class, but since that time has evolved as a non-surgical solution for people of all backgrounds. It is a painless method for reducing facial lines and wrinkles. It can also improve blood circulation and enhance the body's natural anti-aging ability.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Works

Very thin needles, no thicker than a strand of hair, are inserted into certain areas of the face. This encourages the blood to circulate which stimulates the body's ability to produce collagen. Collagen rehydrates the skin and nourishes it. It also improves skin tones and reduces facial wrinkles. When the needles are electrically tuned to certain frequencies, the stimulation they provide improves facial muscle tone and skin elasticity.

During the facial rejuvenation acupuncture sessions in our Chapel Hill, NC office, Dr. Oskardmay may apply a relaxing herbal facial mask made from natural Chinese herbal creams. Synergistic points are sometimes used during advanced treatment, involving the legs, arms, and other areas of the body with the goal of strengthening the body's natural energy force.

Treatment Duration

Treatment sessions are usually performed one to three times a week for a total of 10–12 sessions. Each session lasts about an hour. Many patients enjoy visual improvement after six to eight sessions. Following the initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the results for five to ten years.

Likely Results

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture may erase as many as five to fifteen years from the face, with results apparent after just a few treatments. Fine lines may be entirely eliminated and deeper wrinkles diminished. Other likely results include:

• Moisturizing of the skin with increased local circulation of blood and lymph to the face
• Increased collagen production, muscle tone, and dermal contraction
• Tightening of the pores
• Brightening of the eyes
• Improving of hormonal balance to help acne
• Reduction of stress evident in the face
• Bringing out the innate beauty and radiance of an individual
