Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

Facial Rejuvenation cosmetic acupuncture may help:

• Improve blood circulation to your face.
• Drain facial lymphatics (Think of all the dirt and grime, and makeup that accumulates on your face every day)
• To tighten muscles and activate weakened muscles
• Reduce fine wrinkles and puffiness around your eyes
• Help to reduce the signs of stress in your face
• Stimulate collagen and elastin production
• In some cases facial colour, uneven skin tone and muscle tone
• Create firmness and elasticity of the skin that you can see and feel

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (cosmetic acupuncture) works by enhancing blood circulation to the face, reducing toxins, as well as stimulating cells to boost collagen and elastin production, relaxing tight muscles under the skin and tightening the muscles that have weakened.

Dr Lockart (Chiropractor and Acupuncturist) will insert needles into specific acupuncture points on the face to a depth of 3mm-10mm depending on the location. Using needles in the deepest part of the wrinkle is also a common technique to boost collagen and elastin production at the site while improving the muscle underneath the upper layers of the skin that are causing the wrinkles.

Also inserting the needles in specific locations, we activate the muscles that are weakened and relax the ones that are tight, which had caused a person’s face to sag and drop in the first place. The number of needles varies depending on your specific areas of concern and overall skin appearance. Rest assured that the Seirin needles that we use in your Facial Rejuvenation cosmetic sessions are tiny and ultrathin, and considered the best in the market..

For those people who don’t like needles at all we can use laser acupuncture on the same acupuncture points. It takes more sessions, and there is no discomfort whatsoever. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture doesn’t wash off.

Your facial acupuncture session with Dr Lockart involves addressing your primary concerns and anything he identifies during the examination process. A Variety of different techniques and products are used during your appointments.

The first goal is to take a detailed look of your face. Next, use the Multi Radiance cold laser to stimulate the lymphatics. A lifting serum is then applied before feeling the skin and facial muscles. Dr Paul or Mei will then use the Gua Sha to help improve the blood flow to the surface of your skin and further improve lymphatic flow with moving cupping. You are then ready for the Japanese Seirin needles to be inserted in specific facial points.

As soon as they’re inserted you will then have the low level light therapy switched on to shine over your face. When that is complete half an hour later, your needles will be removed and you will finish up with a sealing serum. Then off you go, back into the real world.

Your first session takes about an hour and a half, while follow-ups take about an hour and 15 minutes. You will leave with a container of Chinese herbs to take internally as people’s faces may lose their vitality due to poor nourishment internally. We aim to help you from the inside out plus helping you on the outside as well.
