Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

960-1279 AD Song Dynasty, China Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture was originally practiced in the Royal Palace. It was widely known to revitalize Qi, and healthy blood flow in the body and face, promoting graceful aging and longevity.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treats imbalances of the mind, body or spirit that are the underlying root cause or manifestation of the patient’s primary skin concerns. Fine lines or acne breakouts located in specific areas of the face tell the story of the individual’s personal difficulties, diet and lifestyle. If an emotion is either suppressed or expressed, it will manifest externally on the face or internally as an organ dysfunction.
