Facial Rejuvenation on Oprah- Does It Work?

Recently many of you saw a show on Oprah about facial rejuvenation with acupuncture. Most of you are thinking "Does it really work?" The model they had was quite young so many of my patients were annoyed thinking she really didn't need any help looking younger. As I age I am starting to notice the ravages of time wearing at my eyes and forehead. I am in need of a facial boost and would like to reduce my lines. Facial rejuvenation does work quite well and the added benefit is you don't end up looking weird. You know what I mean: the tight face, the young but strange looking appearance that often accompanies major facelifts. The benefits to facial rejuvenation are many: 1. no down time just an hour a visit and deeply relaxing 2. you look like yourself but younger 3. it's relatively affordable 4. it's preventative so you continue to slow the aging process and 5. it's a fully body experience treating the imbalances inside as well as out The Chinese were obsessed with two areas of health 1. Reproduction (we have all heard the stories about producing a male heir or else) and 2. beauty (if you can't please the emperor you don't live very well) Now with modern day advances in technology you can take your youth to the next level. First, you need to find someone in your area who has experience. Licensed Acupuncturists have the most experience of all care providers including medical doctors who have learned acupuncture. Second, be prepared to do a series of at least 10 visits. The cost is between $125-$200 per treatment and it is recommended you repeat the process once a year. Third, Get Ready to Get Gorgeous! What to Expect: The procedure typically takes about an hour and hair fine needles are inserted at the beginning and end of every major wrinkle. There are particular points for reducing wrinkles, fading liver spots or discolored skin tones and even points to strengthen underlying muscles the lift and tone. The acupuncturist should then add in points throughout the body to enhance your treatment. Constitutionally you will be prone to certain things and the body points can slow your aging process considerable.

In my office I prescribe a unique formula of herbs to be taken internally to reduce wrinkles, even skin tones and lift sagging areas. I will also prescribe an anti-aging mask that you can apply weekly at home. We also offer a nutritional consult to educate you about Foods for Youth that have empirically been used to enhance beauty and slow the aging process. We also recommend supplements that are high in anti-oxidants and produce radiant skin. Finally, I use an electrical stimulation on the face that is quite relaxing and further reduces deep lines and drooping skin. Look for an Acupuncturist and Herbalist who is skilled in all of these areas for the most glowing results and Get Gorgeous!
