Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture benefits your face in many ways! These benefits include:

• Brings blood to the face & improves circulation

• Facilitates nutrients absorption

• Enhances metabolism of facial cells & stimulates their regeneration

• Stimulates the lymphatic system to drain away toxins

• Increases collagen production

• Softens skin

• Improved facial muscle tone to reduce lines & wrinkles

• Promotes normal secretion of oil & sweat glands

• Promotes a natural glow & radiance in the skin

A full facial rejuvenation acupuncture protocol requires 10-15 sessions. Treatments should be twice a week for the first 3 weeks followed by one session a week for the remaining sessions. Facial rejuvenation has a cumulative effect and results are usually noticed around the seventh treatment.

Maintenance visits are recommended every 4-6 weeks to maintain results and the entire protocol should be repeated every 3-5 years.

There are risks when receiving facial acupuncture treatment. For this reason, facial acupuncture should not be done close to important events such as weddings.

Although the risk is very low, acupuncture needles can nick a facial nerve and cause lasting damage, inflammation or bruising.

There are also risks of microbleeding, bruising & hematomas.

If you are currently receiving botox, fillers, injections, chemical peels, microdermabrasion or other facial services, it is best to discuss with your provider of these services before receiving facial acupuncture so there are no interactions. Please book a phone consult with Abby prior to your initial session if you have had cosmetic or medical surgeries to the face or neck.
