Why does skin wrinkle?
According to Asian Medicine, wrinkles begin internally from a weakness and imbalance of Qi. Qi circulates within a series of pathways called Meridians. These pathways travel throughout the body, including the face. Qi flows within the meridians and provides nourishment, support, and energy to every cell, tissue, muscle, and organ.

As we get older, it becomes more difficult for Qi to flow upwards to ³lift² the face. This leads to inadequate muscle tone, and over time, wrinkles and sagging skin. There are a variety of things that can contribute to this‹poor diet, digestion, circulation, or emotional and environmental stresses.

Facial Rejuvenation using acupuncture improves overall skin and muscle tone while enhancing and increasing the elasticity of the skin and treating the internal imbalances of the body. Acupuncture can reduce signs of aging by strengthening and stimulating the circulation of Qi within the meridian pathways, especially those of the face. You will look and feel more energetic, calm, vibrant, and healthy.

Acupuncture treatments may be combined with herbal supplements, exercise, facial massage and acupressure in order to maximize results.

Before using drugs or surgery to improve appearance, consider acupuncture. It is a safe, effective, natural, and drug-free alternative that is painless, and risk-free.
