Q: Is facial acupuncture for everyone?
A: It would be more instructive to list the few contraindications for facial acupuncture, because for the vast majority of prospective clients, it is a safe and beneficial treatment. This is true not only for prevention of wrinkles, but also the reversal of the customary signs of aging. A full course of facial acupuncture is not appropriate for those with bleeding disorders, or chronic migraines.

Q: What is involved?
A: Constitutional Facial Acupuncture™ involves the patient in an organic process where a series of treatments is necessary to achieve maximal effect. After an initial session, the practitioner evaluates the patient’s response and will then determine the number of follow-up visits that will be required.

Taking into consideration other variables such as stress, diet, lifestyle, genetic inheritance, proper digestion and elimination, sleep, emotional balance and age, the following durations of treatment are generally recommended:

• Usually 12-15 treatments;
  
• 20 treatments for smokers or people whose skin tends to sag, i.e., who manifest jowls, “turkey wattles,” droopy eyes, etc.
