Karen is certified as a Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture practitioner through the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is also commonly referred to as Cosmetic Acupuncture.
What is facial rejuvenation acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an effective anti-aging treatment to remove fine lines and wrinkles from the face. Through inserting very fine, hair-thin needles into specific acupuncture points on the face, there is an increase in circulation to the area. Blood flow promotes oxygenation, nourishment and moisture from the inside out. Specific placement increases collagen production, which increases elasticity and firm skin, helping to reduce sagging skin, wrinkles, and double chin. Additional conditions treated include, puffy face and eyelids, dry skin, acne, and redness of the face.
There are some conditions, such as migraines and high blood pressure, which are contraindicated in FRA, but can be treated using constitutional Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture specific to your condition.
What are the benefits?
Improving beauty from a deep level, using individualized care, brings lasting results. This form of acupuncture is a great way to improve health and beauty without the side effects of drastic surgical procedures. I welcome you to book an initial consultation to see if Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and/or TCM constitutional acupuncture is right for you.
In Health,
Dr. Karen
