Have you ever noticed that the Japanese, who are among the healthiest and long-lived populations in the modern world, also have vibrant, youthful complexions well into middle age and beyond? It isn’t because they use plastic surgery, Botox, laser treatments, or the other aggressive procedures Western medicine prescribes. It is because the Japanese have long understood that Oriental medicine and acupuncture enhance and strengthen the body’s ability to heal and rejuvenate itself.
The restorative treatment plan we prescribe, complemented by herbal medicines and healthy eating habits (it’s not just what but how you eat that matters) will balance and cleanse the digestive system. Restoring internal balance will improve metabolism and circulation, strengthen muscles, and eliminate toxins and excess fluids. Correcting hormonal imbalances will increase blood flow and help moisturize your skin. The balance you achieve inside your body will be reflected on the outside — skin color and tone will improve, your complexion will become more radiant, sagging skin will tighten, wrinkles will become less pronounced and some will disappear.
Acupuncture Facelifts
Going a step beyond the basic restorative treatment plan, acupuncture facelifts offer a non-invasive and safe alternative to surgical facelifts. In addition to eliminating the risks related to any surgical procedure, acupuncture facelifts also often hold better and last longer. Some patients decide to receive facelift treatments (at no extra charge) while being treated for other conditions. The standard treatment consists of twice-weekly visits for 12 weeks, followed by occasional “tune-ups” as required.
