What Causes Wrinkles?
The exact cause
of facial wrinkles is not yet fully understood. There are many known
factors which contribute to wrinkling and we believe it is a combination
of these factors which determine the exact degree and kind of wrinkling
each individual will experience. Some of the major contributing factors
include: Poor Nutrition Mental and emotional stress Age Glandular
disturbance Side effects from medication Improper use of cosmetics and
skin care products Over exposure to the sun and wind Heredity Chemical and
dirt in the air Fatigue Irreversible skin damage (as a result of frost
bite, ultraviolet or X-Rays)
How
Does Acupuncture Work To Eliminate Facial Lines and Wrinkles?
The treatment consists of stimulating certain reflex points on the body,
neck and face that, in turn, tonify and energize the skin's underlying
tissue. The circulation is also enhanced and this is probably another
contributing factor.
What Is The Difference Between An Acupuncture Face Lift Tonification
Program and a Surgical Face Lift?
It is difficult to compare the two because they are so different. The
surgical approach is largely a structural approach that tightens the skin
much like a tailor takes in or tightens the waist on a pair of trousers.
Through the acupuncture method, the skin's underlying tissues are tonified
and energized so they naturally tighten themselves. Also, through the use
of facial treatments and manipulations, various facial conditions can be
improved.

What Are The Disadvantages Of An Acupuncture Face Lift As Compared to A
Surgical Face Lift?
Acupuncture Face Lifts do not work for everybody Acupuncture face lifts do
not produce as dramatic a change as surgical lifts Acupuncture face lifts
tend to reduce or diminish wrinkles and not completely eliminate them
Acupuncture face lifts are not effective on severely damaged skin.
Do
Acupuncture Face Lift Treatments Hurt At All?
Not at all, in fact, many patients fall asleep while receiving their
treatments.
How
Long Does It Take to Receive a Treatment?
Each visit will require 50-60 minutes for both the Acupuncture facial and
the Synergie facial.
How
Many Treatments Are Required?
We recommend a series of 10 treatments over a 4 to 6 week period. Persons
not prepared to go ahead with the initial 10 treatments are not encouraged
to begin the program.
