Facial Rejuvination Don't want to go under the knife or be injected with botox? Try an acupuncture face-lift! The procedure: At your first visit the acupuncturist will ask you all sorts of questions from how much water you drink to how many times a day you go to the bathroom.
These questions and more make up the detailed intake that Chinese Medical doctors ask at your initial consultation.
This thorough understanding of your daily health and wellness provides the practitioner with essential information to individualize your experience.
Next your acupuncturist will have you either lie down or recline into a comfortable position.
First a few needles will be inserted into acupuncture points along the body to encourage circulation and wake up sluggish organs signaling vitality.
Once those needles are humming with qi, the acupuncturist will begin administering needles to the facial tissue.
These hair-thin needles will be gently place into the skin along areas that need a little pep.
Some may ask to have their "smile lines" softened or perhaps that little furrow in the brow.
In some cases a low frequency of electrical stimulation will be administered along the shaft of the needle to efficiently encourage the problem area to fill in with new collagen and elastin.
The results: While results vary from person to person throughout the course of treatment, most patients report an overall sensation of vitality in the face, thus, the experience of facial rejuvination.
Patients can look forward to experiencing visible diminishment of those fine unwanted lines without the expense and danger of both surgery and chemical injections.
Cellulite Reduction Want to replace expensive visits to the endermologist, chemical injections, and celluite creams that make false promises...
Try Cupping! The procedure: Chinese Medical doctors have traditionally been using cupping for preventing colds and flu, reducing headaches, and easing backaches in their everyday practices.
As patients grow increasingly more aware of its benefits, other new exciting applications for this simple and safe procedure are being developed.
A small amount of massage oil is applied to the buttocks, hip, low back, and along the upper portion of the leg.
These are our problem areas that will benefit the most from the application of cupping.
A cotton ball soaked in alcohol is placed on the end of a surgical hemostat and lit.
This lit end is placed inside the cup then quickly withdrawn.
Almost simultaneously as the hemostat is removed, the cup is rapidly placed upon the skin.
The Results: Continued cupping treatment will rapidly and safely encourage metabolic waste elimination via the lymph system at a fraction of the time and cost of endermologie, chemical injections, and topical creams.
Patients can expect a visible appearance of smoother skin within one or two treatments.
Treatment length and frequency is determined on an individual basis.
