Historical Origin of Chinese Acupuncture

Following on from our look at the history of Acupuncture, you will have seen that (FRA) is actually not a new and trendy gimmick, it’s been around for years. Only recently in the West has this form of non invasive face lift technique become widely accepted. What we are about to share with you is not only what you should know, what to look out for and what to be cautious of but also what results to expect.

FACIAL REJUVENATION ACUPUNCTURE

What you should know:

- (FRA) is not only a procedure of needling the facial area but also the arms and legs. Hair fine needles are inserted into specific areas of the face to increase the blood flow and Collagen production which decreases signs of ageing and tiredness such as bagging eyes and wrinkles. The needles applied to the arms and legs increase the flow of Qi – (chee) throughout the whole body.

- As we know, the body has the ability to heal itself and the relatively painless method of Acupuncture, boosts that natural ability.

- We also know that the face usually shows signs of the bodies general state of health. This is why you will often see the statement that the results of successful Acupuncture treatment are enhanced when coupled with a healthy diet and exercise.

What to look out for:
- When considering (FRA) make certain that the Acupuncturist you deal with has a qualified background and formal training in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. They should spend time before your first treatment, giving you a diagnostic of your general health, backed by questions relating to your medical history and a full explanation of how the treatment works.
- Needless to say that you wouldn’t consider undergoing surgery with someone who had never heald a scalpel, so check out the Acupuncturists credentials first.

Be cautious of:
- Inflated promises of BREATHTAKING results.
- Astronomic costs of treatment.
- Expecting instant results.

What you should expect:
- Some clients witness a visible improvement after their very first session, it all depends on the individual but usually after the 6 treatments, improved skin tone/texture and a general ‘well being’ feeling will be evident.
- During your treatment you should feel extremely relaxed with many clients falling fast asleep, sometimes snoring. (insomniacs should try it – LOOK GREAT-SLEEP WELL).
- After the needles have been removed (20-30 minutes) your therapist should provide you with a facial massage.
- Finally we suggest that you complete your session by sitting for 5 to 10 minutes and drink water, this helps you to ‘come round’.

Case note:
A regular client of ours was about to throw a massive 50th Birthday Celebration and obviously wanted to look her best. She embarked on a six week intensive course with us. The result – she looked fantastic with so many friends saying ‘Wow you look great’. Sadly after a week long binge of booze, food and lack of sleep, all our work was undone. We now have her back to her best but the moral here is – don’t expect Acupuncture to cover up lifes excesses as the body will always show signs of abuse in the face.
