Face lift acupuncture, which is also commonly called facial rejuvenation, is a procedure that uses acupuncture treatments to give the face a more youthful appearance. During a face lift acupuncture treatment, very thin needles are inserted into specific meridian points in the face to restore the flow and balance of energy. Unblocking and restoring the flow of this energy is believed to energize and rejuvenate the skin’s underlying tissues, resulting in tighter, younger-looking skin. The acupuncture increases circulation, which nourishes the skin, and stimulates the production of collagen, which will make the skin firmer and more toned. Many people who have face lift acupuncture treatments also report feeling more energetic and alert, and experiencing an improvement in overall health.
The face lift acupuncture procedure is usually painless, although some patients report feeling a slight and momentary pinching sensation. Most insist an individual must have a face lift acupuncture treatment every week for at least three months to enjoy the full benefits, however, even a person who has just a few treatments over a much shorter period of time will see a visible difference in her appearance. For those who undergo a full series of 10 to 12 weekly treatments, results will last for as much as three to five years.
Those who have acupuncture face lifts report many benefits, including skin that looks firmer and more youthful. In many cases, the jowl line and the neck will also be more toned. Fine lines and wrinkles will be reduced and softened. Due to the stimulation of collagen production, the face may look plumper and more filled out. Even bags under the eyes may be reduced or eliminated by face lift acupuncture.
While some turn to traditional facial surgery to achieve a more youthful appearance, others prefer more natural alternatives to the traditional face lift. In traditional facelift procedures, an incision is made around the hairline, from one ear to the other, and the skin, fat, and muscle in the face are then manipulated to eliminate sagging, puffiness, bagginess, and wrinkles. Traditional face lifts are effective in many cases, but there are always risks when undergoing such an invasive surgical procedure. Even when a facial surgery goes well, recovery is often long and painful, and it can be a while before the patient can see and enjoy the results. Face lift acupuncture is less invasive, is considered safer, is less painful, and is less expensive than facial surgery.
