WHAT Is It?
This ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine practice was
based on regulating internal systems to benefit facial complexion and appearance,
combat aging and enhance vitality.
Facial acupuncture is an effective practice for those
seeking a natural way to enhance their appearance and overall internal and
external health.
WHAT Can It Do For You?
- · Helps eliminate & reduce under eye bags, facial swelling and discolourations.
- · Improves muscle tone, circulation & colour of the face.
- · Helps lift drooping eyelids, eyebrows, sagging cheeks and jowls.
- · Helps diminish fine lines & the appearance of large wrinkles.
WHAT Age Is Best To Start
Treatment?
Most people that enjoy the benefits of FRA are in
their 40s to 60s, however, there is no age for optimizing the appearance of
your skin. Anyone that is looking to improve skin colour and texture, decrease
the appearance of wrinkles, lift sagging skin or age gracefully would benefit
from FRA treatments.
If you’re looking for a quick fix, this is not it. FRA
works with your body to bring health and beauty to your skin and face. Although
changes can be seen and felt even after the initial treatment, anywhere from 8-12
weekly treatments are needed to bring more lasting changes to your skin and
overall health.
WHERE Are Needles Inserted?
Fine sterile single-use disposable acupuncture needles
are inserted into points throughout meridians on the face and body. Points are chosen specifically based on each
patients’ constitution and overall health.
A typical treatment will include anywhere from 40 – 70 needles per
treatment placed in the feet, legs, abdomen, arms, hands, ears, face and scalp.
Specific intradermal needles are inserted along wrinkles on the face.
