Facial Rejuvenation Program
Look and feel younger naturally with this non-invasive approach to healthier skin. The use of acupuncture, herbs, essential oils, and nutritional supplements help to restore balance in the body from the inside out. Overall health and wellness reflects in a beautiful complexion.
Acupuncture works to improve overall circulation in the entire body but also increases circulation to the particular site where the needle is placed. Change in the color of ones skin is seen immediately. Acupuncture has also been shown to increase collagen production at the site of the needle. Too much or too little of key hormones can affect the state of our skin, leading to acne, dryness, and decreased elasticity. Acupuncture and herbs work to balance hormones leading to healthier looking skin.
Essential oils of lavender and helichrysum are used for their anti-inflammatory properties, ability to treat acne, eczema, and scars. Lavender soothes headaches and induces relaxation while helichrysum enhances arterial circulation and aids in skin cell rejuvenation.
For optimum results, 12 sessions are recommended at two times per week for three weeks, and once per week thereafter. Significant differences are usually noted after the sixth or seventh treatment. Facial rejuvenation results last anywhere from 18 months to three years, depending on the age and condition of skin.
