Acupuncture Face-Lift: Beauty, Radiance, Vitality for Your Face
One of the treatments gaining popularity in recent times is acupuncture facelift. It has the promise to bring back youth to your face without undergoing the pain and risks of the traditional plastic surgery facelift.
The acupuncture facelift is the use of the traditional Chinese medicinal technique, acupuncture, on the face to turn back the clock or at least make your face look better. It is said that many Hollywood stars get this beauty treatment and among them is Madonna.
For over 5,000 years, Chinese Medicine has strived to cultivate the strength and vitality of the human being. While physical, mental, and emotional resiliency can be achieved through regular Acupuncture Treatments, beautifcation has been a specialized area of Chinese medicine for centuries. Cherished by the Emperors and the Royal families throughout the ages, Acupuncture has been used to not only slow down the aging process, but to maintain beauty, radiance, and vitality in the face. The Chinese always revered beauty as sign of immortality and longevity. Therefore, the physical appearance of the individual was considered a reflection of their strength and vitality. With this emphasis on immortality, Acupuncture was used to reverse and slow down the aging process, yielding remarkable results, that can be maintained over the course of a lifetime.
As gravity progresses, the aging process becomes inevitable. the face muscles begin to weaken, the skin loses its luster, and the collagen/elastin production decreases. The principles of the facial rejuvenation treatments are: Improve muscle tone, increase circulation, stimulate the skin's natural collagen and elastin production and promote cellular metabolism. Explained from the Chinese point of view, the classical principles are: Clear the heat from the face surface, increase circulation of Qi, blood and fluids and warm the channels of the face, neck and scalp. It is tremendously relaxing and at the same time invigorating. Facial changes can be seen in a few short weeks and other less dramatic changes may be evident sooner.
The Acupuncture Face-Lift is a wonderful alternative to Plastic Surgery, with no recovery time, yielding rapid and desirable results. The unique element involved with this process is that an overall slowing down of the degenerative aging process can be achieved with consistent Acupuncture Face-Lift Treatments. This is quite profound, since these treatments over time can prevent the need for any invasive plastic surgery later on, which is consistent with the intention of Chinese Medicine.
A series of 10 to 20 treatments is suggested, depending on the condition of the face and skin. Usually 2 treatments per week for the first half of the series, then one treatment per week for the remaining of the series. Each treatment session has remarkable restorative powers and results can be seen within 1 to 6 weeks. After the series of treatments it is recommended to have a maintenance treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. Up to 3 months may elapse before the benefits start to wear off.
The Acupuncture Face-Lift offers noticeable and visible changes in skin texture, color, tautness, and elasticity. Many of Dr. Caceress patients have been ecstatic with the results, and come in for regular maintenance treatments, after the desired results have been achieved.
Non-surgical face-lifts should only be performed by a licensed Acupuncture Physician with specialized training.
