Facial Acupuncture.
There are many different styles or protocols being taught in the US and many other countries. We have found the F.A.C.E. Facial Acupuncture to be one of the most effective modalities. The founder Dr Song and her successor Dr Shen are both experts in Oriental Medicine as well as Western Medicine by training. They have in-depth knowledge and clinical experience to develop protocols which work extremely effectively.
 
Anyone wishes to improve their facial shape, lines, skin texture, color, or elasticity can consider F.A.C.E. Facial Acupuncture therapy. As it is not a surgical procedure but involves fine needle pricking, there are no known side effects apart from occasional bruising. The treatment takes about an hour, allowing patients to return to work immediately.
 
Results are noticeable immediately after the needles are removed. Unlike implants or injections, the improvement is evident right away. For lasting results, younger skin may need about six sessions, while older skin might require around twelve. After the initial course, a monthly maintenance session or two is recommended.
 
The needles used are high-tech micro-needles with a diameter of 0.10mm to 0.12mm, finer than a hair’s 0.15mm. Most patients do not feel the needles, with only a slight tingling at some points. Patients often chat with the physician during the procedure, indicating a high acceptance rate.
 
In the US, prices vary depending on the practitioner’s skill and the quality of needles used, resulting in different market prices.

F.A.C.E. Facial Acupuncture can treat facial eczema, facial palsy, , and improve allergic rhinitis. It can also brighten the eyes, reduce fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, and achieve facial rejuvenation.
 
After treatment, maintain a regular routine and avoid chewing hard objects and gum to prevent facial asymmetry. Alcohol should be avoided as it can cause skin sagging, affecting the treatment’s efficacy.
 
Cosmetic procedures do not interfere with F.A.C.E. Facial Acupuncture treatments; in fact, they can complement each other. For example, a patient with swollen eyelids after double eyelid surgery saw the swelling subside after three F.A.C.E. Facial Acupuncture sessions. However if you had Botox or fillers done it is recommended to wait for at least two weeks before your facial acupuncture session.
 
The focus is on natural results! By using fine needles on facial meridians, sinew channels, and skin regions, and combining muscle and superficial fascia needling, it enhances qi and blood circulation. This brightens the face, reduces sagging and fine lines due to aging, and effectively treats dry skin and acne. It promotes collagen production, restores skin elasticity, and improves skin hydration.
