Cosmetic Acupuncture - flowerANTI-AGING/FACIAL REJUVENATION

Traditional Chinese Medicine can help you to look younger as well as healthier. Cosmetic Acupuncture is a specialised treatment and can be used safely alongside western nutritional products and cosmetics. The Chinese consider health and beauty to be of paramount importance in living a long and healthy life. The secret is to maintain your health and beauty by regular treatment whether you have any health problems or not.

In an age where everyone is under pressure to perform and to look their best you can now have that fresher look you always wanted without surgery and without all the painful after effects. You can also have your wrinkles and fine lines treated and eliminate the puffiness and bags around the eyes and improve skin tone.

Cosmetic acupuncture leaves you with a glowing complexion and a more youthful appearance.

How does cosmetic acupuncture work?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic medicine which treats you as a complete person and not just the parts of you that require treatment. An initial consultation may take up to two hours so that all your medical history can be taken into account when treating you.

This is important in order to create the smooth flow of Qi and a healthy body so that all the tissues are nourished. A healthy body and the smooth flow of Qi will enable your skin to regenerate and give you a more youthful appearance.

What are the benefits?

When you have cosmetic acupuncture any other problems you may have can be dealt with at the same time. You will find that any health problems you had will start clearing up. It may be that your long standing health problems have been having an effect on your skin causing it to look puffy, or sallow, or sagging for example. You may have had problems with dry skin, or greasy skin causing spots and pimples, or suffer from fine lines and wrinkles. Sometimes you may have noticed that you have dark blue or black circles under your eyes. Although you may think these are caused by a late night or lack of sleep for example, when you have them all the time, they mean something in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Many of the important signs that we look for in diagnosis can be found on the face. There is little wonder therefore that the signs of aging also tell us about the signs of ill health.

What does the treatment involve?

The first part of the treatment following the consultation will involve treating the underlying problems which have caused the aging process. You will have a few needles in body points according the Chinese medicine syndrome which will assist your body to rejuvenate and repair.

You will then experience a wonderful facial using Chinese cosmetological techniques and cosmetic products which brighten and nourish the skin.

Treatment involves very fine cosmetic needles inserted just under the skin. For signs of aging which involve the jaw line and sagging of the face electro-acupuncture may also be used. Warming of the needles or acupuncture points on the face may also be applied using moxa.

After the needles are removed you will have a relaxing Chinese facial massage to smooth away the stresses of the day.

It is also essential to address your nutrition and exercise programme in order to establish a proper regime to keep you healthy and promote a balanced metabolism.

You may wish to eliminate your allergies with NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques). Many of your skin problems and health problems will probably relate to food intolerances or allergies to substances, that you may not even be aware of.

Stop smoking treatment may also be helpful.

Is the treatment painful?

Some people may experience slight discomfort the first time but you quickly get used to the sensation. Sometimes there will be a slight reaction around the site of the needle for a few days after treatment but this will go away and is nothing to worry about.

How many treatments will I need?

A full course is 12 appointments, usually once a week, but some people prefer to come twice a week if they have time. Following the full course it is advisable to continue having a treatment once a month for a few months to keep on top of your beauty regime. Chinese medicine is wonderful as a preventative treatment and will not only help to keep your looks but also keep you healthy. (see the photo gallery)

Is the effect permanent?

The effect of cosmetic acupuncture is to leave you with an improved skin tone, with an enhanced feeling of well-being, and with many of your health problems gone. The treatment also leaves you headache free and releases tensions.

The fine lines you had before will be considerably reduced although any deeper wrinkles may require additional courses or other therapies.

Facial rejuvenation will leave you with a more youthful appearance and a healthy body to enable you to delay the signs of aging. It is advisable to consider maintaining your health and beauty by coming for regular treatment on a monthly basis to start with and then extending this to every three months. Beauty comes from within and Chinese medicine can diagnose problems which may cause you a problem in the future before you may even be aware of them yourself.

Weight Loss TreatmentWEIGHT LOSS TREATMENT

Weight loss is a difficult subject for many people. There are many reasons why some people cannot seem to keep the weight off and end up in a yo-yo situation which goes on for years. Not only is this a futile waste of effort it is also extremely bad for your health long term as it puts pressure on all the organs and particularly the heart.

Traditional Chinese Medicine can be used safely alongside western nutrition and exercise to help you to lose weight.

How does weight loss treatment work?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic medicine which treats you as a complete person and not just the parts of you that require treatment. An initial consultation will take up to two hours so that all your medical history can be taken into account when treating you.

When you have weight loss treatment any other problems you have will be treated at the same time. This is important in order to create the smooth flow of Qi and a healthy body so that all the tissues are nourished. A healthy body and the smooth flow of Qi will allow your body to stabilise so that your metabolism works correctly.

What are the benefits?

You will find that any health problems you had will start to clear up and you will feel healthier and happier. Traditional Chinese Medicine also treats the emotions. If you have been struggling with any problems these may have been having an effect on your metabolism.

You may also have food intolerances or allergies which have been wreaking havoc causing such things as bloating and fluid retention, headaches, low energy and tiredness for example. How many of the following list of items can you say yes to?
  • IBS and diarrhoea
  • Eczema and other skin conditions
  • Asthma and wheezing
  • Headaches and migraine
  • Depression and stress
  • Insomnia and tiredness
If you can say yes to any of these then you are most likely suffering from food intolerance or allergies.

What does the treatment involve?

Treatment involves an holistic approach:
  • Acupuncture. You will receive acupuncture in the first instance. This will help to stabilise your metabolism, stop food cravings and address any other health problems that you may have.
  • Allergy Elimination. You may also wish to eliminate your allergies with NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques). NAET addresses the energetic properties of substances that cause a problem to the smooth flow of Qi in the meridians. When we come across a substance that interferes with the smooth flow of Qi this is called an adverse reaction or allergic reaction. The immune systems goes into action to deal with the invader. When we constantly come across the same invader toxins can build up in the body. This eventually causes illness to occur. NAET works to eliminate this response by sending a message to the brain to recognise the allergen as friendly rather than the enemy.
  • Exercise programme
  • Emotional stress release and counselling for emotional problems
You will find that any long standing health problems you had will start clearing up. It may be that these problems have had an effect on your metabolism. Many people who clear their food allergies start to lose weight once the effect of those trigger foods have been eliminated.

How long will it take me to lose weight?

This is a difficult question to answer since we are all unique and it depends very much on what the problem is that is causing you to hold on to your weight.

What usually happens is that after the first acupuncture treatment you start to feel less hungry in between meals and some of the food cravings you had will disappear. For example you may find that after a few days that bar of chocolate you used to eat every day is still on the kitchen side and has not been touched. This will really shock and surprise you. It is small changes like this that you will notice at first rather than a sudden weight loss. Also you may feel happier and be sleeping better and feel much more energised.

When you continue with regular treatments your weight will then start to drop slowly and regularly as your metabolism stabilises and you start to eat the right foods for your body. You will feel like exercising more and be motivated to keep to the new regime.

NAET treatment for your allergies will also help you to lose weight and is highly recommended as part of the programme.

Will I be able to keep my weight stable?

Yes, provided you have followed the programme, once you reach your target weight you can return for a regular check up free of charge. If there are new problems that have developed then you should return for more treatments.
