Frequently
Asked Questions
Q: What
exactly is facial rejuvenation and how does it work?
A: Developed according to the principles of Chinese
medicine, Facial Rejuvenation works in harmony with the natural energy systems
of the body. It utilizes state of the art techniques of electro-medicine, color/light
therapy based on body typing, sound therapy, massage and integrates these techniques
with a line of specially formulated products to achieve superior results in wrinkle
reduction and other de-aging effects without any discomfort or side effects. Visible
results are noticeable after only one session. Facial Rejuvenation was discovered
quite by accident when a physician treated a patient for facial paralysis caused
by Bell’s Palsy. The patient came back shortly after treatment and said she wanted
the same treatment for the other side of her face. They noticed that facial lines
were much softer, her face was lifted, and her eyes were more open on the treated
side of her face! Thus research and development for using these techniques for
beautification began. As work on de-aging progressed, we began to see that the
physical results of a younger looking face were only the result of greater benefits
beneath the skin! Patients began feeling better, enjoying more patience, more
creativity, and more vibrant sense of general well-being.
Q: How long does one treatment take
and how long will the effects last? A:
Treatments usually take one to one and half hours to complete with effects lasting
up to 6 weeks. It should be noted that several treatments may be necessary. During
your first visit, a personalized treatment plan is designed to determine the number
of sessions required to achieve your desired goals. Discount packages are available.

Treatments
Facial
rejuvenation treatments are organized into 7 phases: Sliding, Holding, Mud Mask,
Collagen Microamp Pads, Sliding, Electro-Massage and Neck Micro-Rolling. For best
results, ten to twenty consecutive treatments are suggested depending on the present
condition of skin with two to three treatments per week. Smoking, excessive alcohol,
drug use, sunbathers and coffee drinkers tend to have severe yin deficiency and
generally need the twenty treatments. Additionally, patients in their late 20’s-30's
can use this as a preventative to slow their aging process as it keeps the skin
healthy by working on the cellular level.
 Maintenance
Treatments Once the first series of treatments
is completed, maintenance treatments should be performed every 4-6 week. It is
possible to go as long as 90 days – if after 90 days, it may necessary to begin
the process all over. A regular exercise program will increase circulation and
help keep skin toned and healthy. We also recommend treatments prior to special
occasions such as weddings, holidays, and parties. Between
Treatments
Gentle yet effective cleansing
and moisturizing between treatments will maximize the benefits of facial rejuvenation.
Please note that not all areas of the face require additional moisture. We do,
however emphasize keeping the eye area moisturized. Also consuming 6-10 glasses
of water per day will provide extra moisture and it is very beneficial to hydrate
a few days before treatment as it increases the conductivity. In addition, we
highly suggest re-hydrating after each treatment. |
