What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture [FRA]?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a popular treatment that can provided by Lily to help your whole body look and feel younger. Similar to classical acupuncture, it is based on the same principles and involves hair-thin needles being used to gently stimulate acupuncture points on the face and body.
What happens during a Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatment ?
Your treatment will begin with a complete Chinese medicine diagnosis and a discussion about which areas of your face you wish to focus on. Your treatment starts with a facial massage focusing on key acupuncture points, then continues with a collagen stimulating dermal roller treatment, a relaxing Tiger Warmer face and ear treatment, facial acupuncture in combination with a tone enhancing micro-stimulation of the facial muscles with a specialised facial TENS device, and acupuncture for any health concerns you may have.
What are the effects Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture ?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture may eliminate fine lines completely and deeper wrinkles are often noticeably diminished. Bags under the eyes can be reduced, jowls firmed, puffiness eliminated, droopy eyelids lifted and double chins minimized. Due to the increased local circulation of blood and lymph to the face, there is increased collagen and elastin production, muscle tone, and dermal contraction. There is often a healthy tightening of the pores, brightening of the eyes, an improvement of hormonal balance which helps acne and a reduction of any visible stress in the face. Loved ones will often report to patients undergoing treatment that they look more radiant and alive.
Are there any other benefits to having facial rejuvenation acupuncture ?
To have beautiful skin the body must be healthy externally and internally. In addition to stimulating the facial muscles and improving their tone, as part of your treatment, Lily will also provide you with acupuncture treatment for any underlying health issues you may have. This whole body approach to rejuvenation provides lasting results and many patients not only start looking better, but also feel better, sleep better, have improved digestion and are relieved of aches and pains.
How many facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatments are required ?
Any number of treatments can be given, but 6-10 treatments on a weekly, or twice weekly basis, is recommended. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her constitution and lifestyle, but usually the effects become most noticeable following the seventh session. Following the initial course of treatment, monthly maintenance sessions can be provided to prolong your results.
Does facial rejuvenation acupuncture really make a difference ?
Cosmetic Acupuncture has been used in Asia for more than three thousand years. In addition, in 1996, a study was carried out and published in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture which reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one full course of treatment. The effects included: the skin becoming delicate and fair, improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles and levelling of wrinkles, and an overall rejuvenation – not only restricted to the tissues of the face.
Is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture just a new and trendy fad ?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture has received a lot of positive coverage in the mainstream media recently, but it is definitely not new. It has been practiced in China for thousands of years. At least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) records show Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture was used by the Empress and the Emperor’s concubines to improve their appearance.
Why choose Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture over surgical surgery ?
Whilst Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture does not produce the same radical effects of cosmetic surgery, it is a popular and more natural alternative. It is safe, not as costly, virtually painless, it has no side effects, there is no risk of disfigurement, there is no trauma, or any period of recovery. Unlike surgery, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture does not rely on cutting out bone and tissue, or toxic nerve-paralysing chemical injections. It works instead by improving your overall health so you become more radiant and by improving the appearance of your natural features.
Is there anyone that can’t have Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture ?
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is not suitable for anyone suffering from a pituitary disorder, a bleeding or bruising disorder, or migraine headaches. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture should not be given during pregnancy, during a bout of cold or flu, during an allergic attack or during an acute herpes outbreak. People fitted with a pacemaker should not have Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.

Optimally, one should seek out a practitioner trained by an expert in this field.
