Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (FRA) is a safe, painless, and effective holistic approach to beauty enhancement. It can be an alternative to facial surgeries such as Botox injections, collagen injections, laser, and chemical peels, which can be costly and may have many side effects.

Based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, treatments involve the insertion of sterilized, disposable, hair-thin needles into specific areas of the face and body to manipulate the movement of the body’s motivating energy (Qi), according to the individual’s pattern and syndromes.

Beauty truly does come from within. FRA is unique in that it focuses on rebalancing the body to bring inner beauty to the surface. Acupuncture points are concentrated in the face area; however various body points are used as well to balance Qi and Blood throughout the body according to each individual’s needs. Therefore the patient’s overall health is improved which is reflected in their appearance.

FRA is not a replacement for surgery. It cannot reshape a nose or a chin. Patients can expect to see a disappearance of fine lines, a reduction of deeper wrinkles, a reduction of bags under the eyes, firmer jowls and chin area, decreased puffiness, and raised eyelids. Stimulation from the needles produces an increase in local circulation of blood to the face, increased collagen production, improved muscle tone and dermal contraction, tightening of the pores, brightening of the eyes, and a reduction of stress evident in the face.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is contraindicated for some pituitary disorders, heart disorders, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, individuals who have a pacemaker or who have a problem with bleeding or bruising, or who currently suffer from migraine headaches. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture should not be done during pregnancy, during a bout with a cold or flu, during an allergic attack or during an acute herpes outbreak.
