CONSTITUTIONAL FACIAL RENEWAL
Originating with the Sung
Dynasty in China
about 1,000 years ago, Constitutional Facial Renewal (CFR) is a holistic
approach to facial health and good
looks. Working on your face and inherent body strengths, this treatment promotes
overall health while focusing on the visible aspects of the face. CFR is a
unique combination of acupuncture, herbal masks, and other Traditional Chinese
Medicine modalities that truly work to achieve a healthful complexion from the
inside out.
How does it work?
Using
acupuncture needles, electric stimulation, herbal compresses, and masks -- along
with lotions and facial massage -- wrinkles can be minimized, tissue toned,
and overall complexion improved. The acupuncture and/or electrical stimulation
modalities are very effective in reducing fine lines and toning skin and
connective tissue, while the
compresses and masks work to balance out skin tone, cleanse pores, and smooth
the skin. Finally, a customized facial exercise program can be designed
for the individual, depending on what areas of the face are most desired to be
tonified.
Because CFR is constitutional
in nature, we take into account a person's overall health picture, with special
emphasis on diet and lifestyle. This ensures an overall health benefit and leads
to more lasting effects.
How many
treatments?
Differences can be seen in one treatment, but for enduring effects
we generally suggest a course of
10 sessions to start. (For those who have been, or are currently, smokers,
more treatments may be necessary to gain the desired effects.) Weekly
treatments are suggested at first, and once the desired effects are achieved,
monthly treatments are usually enough for maintenance.
Contraindications
Please note that if you have
had a migraine within the last two months, have recently undergone a
Western-style facelift, have recently had Botox injections, or are pregnant,
this may not be the treatment of choice for you at this time. Please call
for a consultation to discuss your treatment options with us.
