FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
What Is It?
Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal™ is a full body treatment that addresses one's constitution. The face is an outer manifestion that reflects our inner self, our emotional world. Lines, the etchings in our face, mirror places where our jing (essence) has become stuck or unprocessed. Constitutional Facial Acupuncture is a wonderful way to change the manner in which we reflect upon ourselves, as well as how we reflect to the outside world.
Acupuncture points on the face stimulate qi & blood flow to the area, carrying nutrietnts to the cells, as well as stimulating fibroblasts and increasing production of collagen & elastin. Herbal masks, aromatherapy and Acutonics (tuning forks) are used to address the more subtle aspects of our being, giving one a renewed sense of self.
Treatments are non-surgical, virtually painless, less costly and non-invasive alternatives to cosmetic surgery. The transformation is gradual, but it is a way to age gracefully and naturally.
