Interested in getting a face lift? Rather than chasing the latest fad, you might consider an alternative. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been using its tools and talents for thousands of years for cosmetic purposes. Doctors first developed this art in the process of treating patients with acupuncture who had suffered facial paralysis. It quickly became evident that the specific placement of acupuncture needles not only had a therapeutic effect, but also created dramatic cosmetic results.

Face lifts are by far the most common elective cosmetic surgery. Though common, surgical face lifts carry risks, can have permanent and unforeseen consequences, and often create an unnatural look. And chemical peels? In addition to burning your skin, those chemicals are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. I don’t know about you, but I have a hard enough time keeping chemicals out of my air, water, and food to go dumping them into my face.

Not to worry, the techniques utilized in Chinese medicine offers the aesthetically conscious consumer a very safe, affordable alternative. Facial rejuvenation experts are able to use acupuncture and Chinese herbs to greatly enhance skin tone, luster, and elasticity. Traditional Chinese physicians are able to work with your own body mechanics to restore your inherent, natural radiance and vitality – thus the term facial rejuvenation. True beauty can’t be faked or forced – it only comes from within. Chinese medicine understands that true beauty is only possible with physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Your physician will not only help you to look healthier and more youthful, but feel that way as well. Living with grace and beauty – this is the treatment philosophy that life beauty makes the human body beautiful. Don’t fake beauty – feel it and live it.

It is typical to receive Chinese herbs throughout the course of your rejuvenation therapy. Traditional Chinese herbology, like acupuncture, is one the most comprehensive and well-developed medical systems available today. Many Chinese herbs have been used for thousands of years to promote beauty and longevity – ginseng, astragalus root, and pearl powder are amongst the most famous. These herbs are often used as topical face masks, or taken internally in tea form. Herbal formulas are given in order to correct imbalances in your body that impact the quality of your skin, such as too much heat or excessive oil. They also help enrich the blood and delicate fluids that often dry out as we age, leaving the skin loose and lusterless.

The technique should not be viewed as an alternative to cosmetic surgery. A person that is interested in immediate and permanent change should seek a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon. Facial rejuvenation provides results over a number of treatments. A standard course of treatments is twice a week for five weeks, you can then switch to once or twice a month for maintenance and prevention. There is no natural way to create an over night change. While most people will begin to see a visible difference within six sessions, they should feel some difference after their first treatment. Not only are fine lines and wrinkles softened, but problems like acne, rosacea and redness are greatly benefited or resolved
