Feel Young Again with Facial Acupuncture and Photo Rejuvenation
Jennifer Cohen, L.Ac.

Facial acupuncture has long been a secret weapon for Chinese women in maintaining a youthful and radiant appearance. As acupuncture gains popularity in the United States, American women are discovering facial acupuncture as a natural alternative to surgical face lifts and botox treatments.

Facial acupuncture is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which dictate that the body’s energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), is responsible for maintenance of all body functions. Qi circulates through the body to provide energy to every cell, tissue, muscle, and organ. As we age, it becomes more difficult for Qi to flow upwards to “lift” the face. Over time, this leads to decreased muscle tone, causing wrinkles and sagging skin.

A facial rejuvenation treatment using acupuncture can redirect the Qi towards the face and strengthen the facial muscles, effectively improving muscle tone and “lifting” the face. At Cypress, we combine facial acupuncture with photo rejuvenation for a synergistic treatment with maximum effects.

Photo rejuvenation is a pain free therapy using light to stimulate cellular repair and decrease inflammation. Studies have shown specific wavelengths to be optimal for different skin conditions:

• Wavelength (nm) = 405-415
• Color = Red
• Condition = Acne
• Action = Kills the bacteria responsible for Acne (P. acnes)

• Wavelength (nm) = 633
• Color = Red
• Condition = Inflammation
• Action = Reduces Inflammation

• Wavelength (nm) = 660
• Color = Red
• Condition = Acne, Eczema, Rosacea
• Action = Stimulates Fibroblasts

• Wavelength (nm) = 830-880
• Color = Infrared
• Condition = Aging, Photo Damage
• Action = Mast Cell Degranulation

All wavelengths are associated with increased anti-oxidant activity and collagen synthesis, which help to decrease wrinkles, redness, and inflammation, promoting a more youthful appearance.
