Philosophy

Constitutional Facial Acupuncture, the practitioner treats the entire body, not just the face as a separate entity. Since the face mirrors a person’s physical/emotional/spiritual being, each individual is a walking history book of stresses, abuses and joys.

The intention that informs these treatments is not that of the obliteration of facial wrinkles in order to produce a tight, immobile 'mask-like' effect. The practitioner of Constitutional Facial Acupuncture, seeks to honor the dignity of an individual’s year’s and accumulated wisdom, by addressing the total person and the constitutional issues, emphasising a proper diet and exercise, and using herbs and tinctures to support the system.

The patient is free to utilise as little or as much of the information provided during the course of their treatment as they desire. A healthy, shining face is connected to what oriental medicine terms the "shen", or spirit, and each person is encouraged to take responsibility for their own process, in order to achieve optimum results.

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture have long promoted longevity, anti-ageing and health, and have observed the "shen", or inner reflection seen on the face, as an important element of health and well-being.

Constitutional Facial Acupuncture is a safe, painless and effective treatment for renewing the face as well as the whole body. Fine lines may be entirely erased, deeper lines reduced and bags around neck and eyes firmed.

Fine needles are placed at a variety of acupuncture points on the face, neck and around the eyes to stimulate the body’s natural energies, or Qi. Since muscle groups are addressed as well the acupuncture points, the face lifts itself, via the acupuncture points, through the muscles’ toning and tightening action. The needles also stimulate blood and circulation, which improves facial color.
