CBS News: Acupuncture for Wrinkles

Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation
is a holistic alternative to plastic surgery, Botox, and laser/chemical peels. This anti-aging procedure promotes the circulation of energy and blood in the face. Increased blood flow brings nutrients into cells and enhances collagen and elastin productions. Benefits of this treatment include reduction of wrinkles, sagginess and lifting of droopy eyelids. An overall rejuvenation is not confined to client’s face. Clients will feel better all over.
What will be the benefits of this treatment?

What will clients expect the results to be?
Many clients report a tightening sensation on their face after their treatments. Their face appears more “lively” and there is sparkle in the eyes.
A significant difference in their appearance can be ascertained following just a few treatments. One study in China showed that among 300 cases treated with facial acupuncture, 90% had marked beneficial results with only one course of treatment.
By the end of a series, the client should look and feel 5-10 years younger. The impression of relaxation and calm is more pronounced.
These results may vary slightly, depending upon how well the client has taken care of themselves during the process, and afterward
Will the results be immediately noticeable like Botox injections?
The results will not be as instant and drastic as plastic surgery or botox injections. What can be expected from our facial rejuvenation program is a more natural, healthier and toned facial appearance.
How many treatments will I need?
Typically 10-12 consecutive treatments (once or twice a week) are necessary to achieve maximal effect. After an initial session, taking into consideration of other variables such as stress level, diet, lifestyle and age, practitioner evaluates the client’s response, and can determine the number of follow-up sessions that will be required.
Will I need maintenance?
Within the normal parameters of aging, the completion of a series of treatment should be effective. To maintain the results, ongoing maintenance treatments are highly recommended.
The Use of Chinese Herbs and Natural European Skin Care Regimen
What is unique about our Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation protocol is the incorporation of Chinese herbal medicine and Natural European Skin Care knowledge.
Skin is the largest organ in our body. Many internal problems often result in various skin conditions. After an analysis of each client’s skin condition and assessment of actual causes, herbal creams and herbal prescriptions are given to effectively treat those skin problems.
We also value the importance of daily skin care. Our Mariana Chicet Natural
European Skin Care products are highly acclaimed for their supreme quality and performance. Our products are formulated with 100% natural emulsifiers and emollients and never contain mineral oil, harsh chemicals or perfumes. Instead, our products contain extraordinary ingredients such as:

I’ve been receiving facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatments from Masako for three months now and I can really see a difference! My fine lines have diminished, my facial muscles are more toned, and my skin is simply radiant! Along with the treatment, Masako has helped me to develop a better skin care regimen.
