What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (FRA) is a treatment system that addresses both the inner and outer aging process. FRA works internally, by treating the individual's constitutional imbalances and simultaneously works externally by toning and reviving facial muscles and skin.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, also known as "Cosmetic Acupunture" or "Acupunture Facelifts" has existed for thousands of years but is just recently being used in North America.

With FRA, very fine acupuncture needles are inserted in various points of the body, face and head. This precise and specific protocol not only targets rejuvenation issues, but also addresses general health concerns as well. For ideal results, the FRA should be complimented by lifestyle changes, massage, facial exercises, herbs and/or supplements.

How long is a treatment series?

Generally, 10 to 15 consecutive treatments constitute a complete series; however, noticeable, complimentary changes can be seen after just 7 treatments. The first will be approximately 2 hours and entails a discussion regarding your lifestyle / medical history, an Oriental Medicine examination and a question answer time. This appointment concludes with your first Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatment.

Follow-up visits last about 75 minutes, starting with a brief re-examination, followed by the Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.

Ideally, 4 to 6 treatments should be administered within the first two weeks. Thereafter, only weekly treatments are needed for the remainder of the series. A single maintenance treatment ensues at a schedule determined on a case-by-case basis. (Usually monthly, bi-monthly or seasonally.)
