Q: Where did this technique come from?
A: Over thousands of years the best healers in the Orient searched for what they called the "Elixir of Immortality" in their quest for a long and healthy life. They explored many approaches from certain types of exercises to dietary and herbal remedies and various forms of meditation.
For most of this time the techniques they discovered were kept a closely-held secret. Sometimes these secrets even died out with their founders when no suitable student could be trained in the deeper parts of their arts.
Fortunately, some of the practitioners of these anti-aging arts were able to find suitable students to carry their knowledge forward. These students then practiced for long periods of time until they mastered the techniques. The knowledge was rarely shared outside of close-knit family circles.
With the modern changes in China and elsewhere, many of these techniques were at risk of being lost. The wisest practitioners sent their students to other countries with the idea of spreading and preserving their hard-won knowledge in the broader world. These became the foundation for Anti-Aging Acupuncture™.
Q: What is Anti-Aging Acupuncture™?
A: Anti-Aging Acupuncture™ takes a whole person approach to improving your appearance. In other words, it addresses your underlying health issues while making you look your best.
The reason this works is simple - the health of your organs reflects in your face. So, by improving your overall health, your appearance naturally improves as well. In addition, we do specific techniques for enhancing the appearance of your face and abdomen.
Q: How does it work?
A: When you address underlying health imbalances and increase circulation of vital energy and blood to your face, you naturally look your very best.
Q: How much change in my appearance will I see?
A: Only radical plastic surgery can completely change how you look, Anti-Aging Acupuncture™ can make you look 5 to 15 years younger.
Q: How long will the improvement in my appearance last?
A: When you address underlying health imbalances and increase circulation of vital energy and blood to your face, you naturally look your very best.
Q: What is involved in the treatment?
A: Before you can begin we need to meet and discuss your specific goals and current health. This is a free 30-minute consultation to see if this procedure is a match for you. Unfortunately, there are people who won't qualify for the procedure for one reason or another and we need to know this before getting started. In addition, this meeting allows you to ask whatever questions you may have about the process.
Once we begin, you get comprehensive support for improving your appearance. Specifically, we will use acupuncture, individually tailored herbal formulas, nutritional support and self-care techniques as part of the overall treatment.
Because it takes at least 4 weeks for collagen and elastin to form in the underlying tissues of your face, the program lasts 5 weeks and requires 2 visits a week during that time.
The process includes complete support for getting you optimal results. You will get at least 10 treatments, an herbal formula customized for your unique health status (in easy-to-use granular form), specific nutritional and supplement recommendations, two European-style facials and training in self-care techniques. This is all part of the package when you are accepted for treatment.

Q: Who can benefit from Anti-Aging Acupuncture™?
A: After age 35 we begin to lose the collagen and elastin in the underlying tissues of our face. This leads to increased lines, wrinkles and loss of facial tone. This means that anyone after age 35 is a potential candidate for the procedure.
You can benefit from this treatment if:
- You want to rid yourself of fine lines and wrinkles that make you look older than you feel.
- You want to reduce or eliminate crows feet, laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, marionette lines, etc.
- You’ve noticed that your skin doesn’t have the youthful resilience it used to have.
- You’d like to see more tone in your facial or abdominal muscles.
- You’ve noticed acne or rosacea discoloring your skin.
- Your energy level isn’t what it used to be and you’d like to get back that youthful vigor you remember from earlier times.
- You’d like to lose the puffiness and see improvement in your skin tone.
- You want to do everything possible to insure that you experience quality of life, free from distracting illnesses and health problems.
There are some people who's health situation may preclude our being able to do Anti-Aging Acupuncture™. This is one of the reasons for the free 30-minute consultation before we begin.
