Q: What makes Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture different from other methods of skin rejuvenation?

A: Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture works on different levels to correct not only the superficial manifestations of aging, but the underlying causes as well. Benefits include improvement in:

 

- Elasticity

- Color

- Texture

- Moisture

- Circles

- Puffiness

- Lines and wrinkles

- Sagging

 

Simultaneously, the deeper imbalances that cause them to appear in the first place are addressed. This whole body treatment not only benefits the face, but all of your physiological systems, so an improvement in overall health is achieved during your course of treatment. (Please refer to the Chinese Medicine page to see a complete list of health improvements.) The effects of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture are more subtle and gradual than traditional methods and there is no cutting, burning or injecting, thus removing the risks and downtime associated with harsher procedures.

 

Q: What methods are used during a Facial Rejuvenation series?

A: Kymberly Kelly uses a variety of resources to achieve maximum results including; acupuncture, topical herbal applications chosen for the individual’s skin type, electrical stimulation, pulsed light and facial massage as well as dietary recommendations and internal herbal therapy. By addressing the needs of the skin and body both outside and in, a thorough and lasting effect can be achieved.

 

Q: How long does it take to see results?

A: A course of treatment is typically 12 sessions, with noticeable and lasting results appearing on about the 7th session, although many report improvements as early as the first session. Each person responds differently and is treated according to his or her own unique presentation. After an initial course of treatment, maintenance sessions can prolong the effects for years.

 

Q: Are there any contraindications?

A: There are contraindications for some individuals with heart disorders, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure some pituitary disorders, high blood pressure, those with a pacemaker, those who have a problem with bleeding or bruising and those who are currently suffering from migraine headaches.
