Facial Acupuncture Renewal™

An acupuncture facelift is a relaxing way to look younger and be healthier. Fiona McCulloch is certified in Advanced Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal™, a treatment which renews the face and the whole body. She completed training and certification with Mary Elizabeth Wakefield L.Ac, the creator of this innovative technique.

Constitutional Facial Acupuncture™ is a safe and effective way to both rejuvenate your face and enhance your general health. The skin will be firmed, fine lines and wrinkles reduced, and sagging skin around the neck and eyes tightened.

This is a cosmetic treatment you can feel great about treating yourself to, as you are also making a big step towards better health balance in your entire body.

The way it works:

Fine needles are gently placed on different points on both the face and the body.

On the face, special muscle “motor points” are stimulated, which cause the face to lift itself and tone up, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Tiny “intradermal” needles are used to help regenerate collagen and reduce fine lines. Some fine lines can be entirely eliminated. The needles stimulate blood circulation and detoxification throughout the facial skin, giving your skin better tone and colour.

Internal imbalances in the systems of your body are always treated at the same time by using points customized to your condition, as the health of your body reflects in your face.

When patients finish a series of Constitutional Facial Acupuncture, they usually report major improvements in their main health concerns in addition to the improvements in their appearance!

How it feels:

Facial Acupuncture Renewal ™ is not painful, and in fact is very pleasant to experience. This powerful treatment combines the stress-busting, health balancing effects of an acupuncture treatment and a relaxing visit to the spa all in one! Delicious natural masques and skin “foods” are administered topically as part of the session.

Treatment Schedules

A series of treatments is necessary to achieve the best effect. Occasional treatments may improve the skin and appearance for a time but will not achieve the more dramatic results of completing a series.

Variables such as stress, diet, lifestyle, genetics, proper digestion, sleep, emotional balance, and age, can affect the number of treatments needed, but usually we recommend:

A series of 10-15 treatments
20 treatments for smokers or people whose skin tends to sag, i.e., who manifest jowls, “turkey wattles,” droopy eyes, etc.

Age is not the most important factor; an older patient with a healthy lifestyle may in fact have a better prognosis than a younger person who does not.

Treatment Timeline:

1 treatment per week, 60 minutes

Maintenance Treatments:

Within the normal parameters of aging, the completion of a series of treatments should be effective. To ensure that you keep the results you have achieved, we also recommend some maintenance treatments

Every 2 weeks for 2 months following the completion of a treatment series, then once a month for an indefinite amount of time;
