Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

This process involves not only the body, but also the mind and spirit . Dr Nicole’s background and training in this procedure comes from Mary Elizabeth Wakefield, who is one of the leading proponents of facial renewal techniques in the world today.

Fine needles are placed at a variety of acupuncture points on the face, neck and around the eyes to stimulate the body’s natural energies, or Qi. Since muscle groups are addressed as well the acupuncture points, the face lifts itself, via the acupuncture points, through the muscles’ toning and tightening action. The needles also stimulate blood and circulation, which improves facial colour and overall appearance.

The treatment starts with a facial mask and body acupuncture. Once the mask is done the facial treatment starts and the client relaxes with both body and facial needles inserted.

Facial acupuncture is based upon the precepts of Oriental medicine and that the appearance of the face reflects the overall balance and health of the entire body. Facial acupuncture derives its impact from the patient’s immersion in an organic process of change, one that is gradual.

10 to 20 treatments of 45-60 minutes each, depending upon the patient’s needs and constitutional profile, should provide them with optimum results. In Oriental medicine, the meridians or pathways of qi (energy) flow throughout the entire body from the soles of the feet up to the face and head; consequently, a facial acupuncture treatment addresses the entire body, constitutionally, and is not merely “cosmetic.”
