Constitutional Facial Acupuncture

            

                Facial  Acupuncture consists of 12 treatments.  The first treatment is 2 hours long as I must do a health history on every patient.  The next 11 treatments are 1.5 hours in length.  I like to do the treatments twice a week for the first 4 treatments (including the first treatment) and then once a week for the remaining 8 treatments.  The reason for so many treatments is that the collagen and elastin can take a month or more to remain activated and that is what is needed to help reduce/remove the wrinkles and tone up the skin.
