The Benefits of Mei Zen Facial RejuvenationPromotes blood and lymph circulation; increased circulation dilates peripheral blood vessels for better distribution of oxygen and nutrients as well as cellular regeneration. Rehydrates the skin's external layers through stimulation of the secretion of the sweat and sebacious glands which encourages the regeneration of healthy skin cells. Helps exfoliation, aids the proliferation of new skin cells, increases nutrition to the skin's surface, improves the quality of the skin and promotes a healthy glow. Allows healthy "breathing" of the skin, increasing the skin's protective ability to ward off infections and clogged pores. Increases oxygen consumption of the skin's external layer speeding up the release of carbon dioxide and nitrogen at the cellular level, helping to keep skin deeply clean; contributes to reducing the accumulation of excess grease on the skin's surface. Stimulates the production of elasin and 4 collagen proteins in the skin to reduce and soften wrinkles. Reduces and relaxes the tension in the nerves and muscles improving the integrity of the skin resulting in improved overall facial appearance. Success of Cosmetic Acupuncture & Facial RejuvenationHow successful is cosmetic acupuncture? A 1996 study published in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture showed that of 300 people who received facial acupuncture, 90% saw marked results after one course of treatment, which is 2 sessions a week for 5 weeks. How long your new look will last depends a lot on your lifestyle, and whether you are willing to address other areas that may need attention such as exercise, nutrition, and stress reduction. But at a fraction of the cost of other procedures, cosmetic acupuncture is a sound alternative that can restore your radiant glow both inside and out. Mei Zen Rejuvenation Treatment A typical protocol begins with a consultation to determine your overall health and if you qualify for the procedure. We will also discuss your cosmetic and overall health goals. This consultation runs 15-30 minutes and is free of charge. This can be conducted over the phone. If you qualify for treatment, then a 1 1/2 hour session is scheduled to include a complete evaluation, diagnosis and overall body balancing treatment. We then schedule a course of treatments that run two times per week for five weeks. During this time, herbs and foods will be prescribed that are specifically tailored for your overall health and your stated goals for facial rejuvenation. You will also be given qi gong exercises and recommendations for skin care. Links to articles: |
