With Facial Rejuvenation you can erase years from your face safely, painlessly and without surgery!
Currently Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is the only effective approach alternative medicine offers to individuals wishing to age gently
and gracefully. It works quite unlike face lifts, botox or filler injections, which often change facial features to a degree inconsistent
with one's overall appearance.
For thousands of years, people from the Orient have known beauty comes from the inside out, and in order for a person to look their best, they must radiate health. Early on, the Chinese discovered and utilized ways to change the energy flow within the body to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation. As early as the Sung Dynasty (960 AD-1279 AD), Acupuncture rejuvenation practices were employed for the Empress and the Emperor's concubines.
In Oriental medicine there is a famous axiom, "Where qi goes, blood flows." While this concept may sound mysterious to those unfamiliar with Oriental Medical theory, everyone knows that increased circulation helps the body to look and feel younger. Common sense tells us that treating the underlying cause of why someone is aging is preferable to masking the symptoms and allowing further decay and dysfunction to continue within the body.
Dr. Phavikone Sundara is a Licensed Acupuncturist who has been specifically
trained in Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation. He received his training in Facial Rejuvenation by a recognized expert in the field and
received a Statement of Credit for Facial Rejuvenation with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs in 2005 from Bastyr University.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process. Though Facial Rejuvenation is sometimes referred to as an Acupuncture Facelift, it is more than a cosmetic procedure. It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help the whole body look and feel younger. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into particular areas of the face, ears, neck, hands, trunk, and legs. Specific points are chosen to manipulate the movement of energy in the body according to the individual's needs. Dr. Sundara knows how to specifically effect the face while simultaneously treating the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process.
Anyone who is interested in looking and feeling younger is a good candidate for Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation. Those considering a surgical facelift may want to try Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation first, avoiding the cost and discomfort of surgery. Facial Rejuvenation is also beneficial for those who have already undergone a surgical facelift as it promotes healthier skin and can prolong the effects of the surgical facelift. Facial Rejuvenation treats the blood stasis and can help with scarring, potential numbness and the pain caused by a surgical facelift. How a person looks and feels about themself can influence both their professional and personal life. Everyone wants to look their best, and sometimes careers depend on it.
Facial Rejuvenation stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and
cellular metabolism and may erase as many as five to fifteen years from your face. Results are often apparent after just a few treatments.
Fine lines may be entirely eliminated and deeper wrinkles diminished. Bags under the eyes can be reduced, jowls firmed, puffiness eliminated,
droopy eyelids lifted and double chins minimized. Other common results include moisturizing of your skin by increasing circulation of blood and
lymph to the face; increased collagen production, muscle tone, and dermal contraction; tightening of the pores; brightening of the eyes; delaying
the onset of graying and hair loss; improvement in the hormonal balance to diminish acne and reduce stress evident in the face, bringing out
innate beauty and natural radiance.
Generally, Facial Rejuvenation consists of twelve acupuncture treatments. Additional
courses of treatment may be desirable depending on your skin and its condition. The effects become most noticeable and lasting on or about the
seventh session. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. Results may be prolonged by
receiving a maintenance treatment once a month or once every three months. It is often recommended to supplement with Facial Self-Massage and/or
Acupressure, facial exercises, and herbal or nutritional supplements.
A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, 90% showed effects with only one course of treatment. Some of the effects included the skin becoming delicate and fair, improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles, leveling of wrinkles, a ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation not confined to the face.
While not a replacement for cosmetic surgery, Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation is an excellent alternative. It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery, is safe and virtually painless, and most importantly has no side effects or risk of disfigurement. Unlike surgery that may have an extended recovery period with swelling and discoloration, there is no trauma from Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. While it cannot reshape one's nose or chin, it is a subtle rejuvenation that takes years off one's face, safely and naturally while improving overall health. Because we treat the whole person, our patients may expect to feel relaxed and have an increased sense of well-being.

After only two Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatments I noticed my forehead wrinkles were much less pronounced, and
now they are starting to diminish. My face is brighter and the circles under my eyes are disappearing. People tell me I look
much younger than I am.
