One specialty of our acupuncturist Sharon Skok is Face Rejuvenation treatments. She has completed advanced training and certification in Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal. These amazing treatments incorporate customized Chinese herbal masks and moisturizers with acupuncture protocols designed to meet the specific needs of each patient. It is a balanced process of treating both the internal body and the external skin for more vibrant health that shines through the skin.
Stress, poor nutrition, long work hours, and lack of restful sleep affect the aging process. The result is dull skin, increased wrinkles, lack of tone, and even breakouts. A series of Face Rejuvenation treatments diminishes fine lines, lessens deep wrinkles, improves skin tone, and increases radiance. The treatments can also reduce acne breakouts and lighten skin discoloration. Not only will you look 5-10 years younger, you will also feel relaxed and rejuvenated.
TREATMENT PROTOCOL
The treatment series involves 12-15* weekly acupuncture treatments. The introductory session will leave the client feeling relaxed, the mind calm and the skin glowing. After 5-7 treatments, clients begin to see the lasting results as wrinkles lessen and skin becomes more firm. Upon completion of the series, monthly follow-up sessions are recommended to maintain results or a few sessions prior to special events to re-boost the effect.
SPECIAL EVENTS TUNE-UP
The face rejuvenation treatments are also a great freshening of the face prior to a big event such as a wedding. A shorter series of 5-7* sessions can be done to brighten skin tone and keep you relaxed before the big day if skin aging and wrinkles are not a priority at this time.
*more treatments may be necessary depending on the condition of the skin and one’s health.
