Facelift Acupuncture : Before & After (8)



Why use Cosmetic Acupuncture?

There is an increasing awareness of the perils of a toxic environment. People are paying more attention to the things they eat and the drugs they take. Your skin is one of the primary organs used to excrete toxins. The skin also has the ability to absorb. The traditional way to moisturize the skin utilizes petroleum based products that act as a barrier (plastic wrap) to keep moisture in. The problem is the toxins can’t get out. The skin needs to “breath”.

Botulism Toxin Type A (BOTOX) is an effective facial paralytic that shows real results for the reduction of wrinkles, however, it has no anti-aging effect. Currently the trend in med-spas is to use chemical peels which increase cellular turnover that actually ages the skin, Botox injections, and chemically altered vitamins like Retin A which increases the skin’s sensitivity to damage. There are even chemical treatments like hydroquinone for bleaching and translucency which require routine liver enzyme checks to assess the damage done internally. There is a better solution.


“A 1996 article in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with cosmetic acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment. The effects include: skin becomes delicate, improvement of elasticity of the facial muscles, ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation.”

After Treatment


When if comes to aging: you can let it happen how mother nature intended, or you can do it gracefully with a little help. There are a number of procedures out there that can help you do this in a less invasive way. And cosmetic acupuncture is one of them; it’s a great alternative to botox and facial fillers. Have a look at these before and after photos.  In addition to taking away fine lines, and softening deep expression lines, acupuncture can also help you feel more balanced and energized due to the increased flow of chi in your body.

Facelift acupuncture : Look younger and feel better!

Alexander, founder of  Ho's Acupuncture Center has developed a personalized cosmetic system to help people to look younger and feel better.

His program providing a combination of  face and body acupuncture, herbal mask and herbal supplements to reduces fine lines and wrinkles, tightens the skin, and restores skin elasticity. This treatment not only lifts but rejuvenates the face and reverses the effects of aging, but also your overall health at the same time. One reason this method is so effective is because it not only treats the face but also the patient’s underlying health issues and imbalances.

This treatment is very safe when compare to plastic surgery, Botox injections, collagen injections, and laser/chemical peels. Your face will retain its character and it will never look frozen, stretched or swollen. The results are natural looking because they are natural. A Surgical face lift only tightens the skin. The acupuncture face lift increases blood circulation to the face, promotes collagen production, and increases muscle tone and elasticity.

This treatment is appropriate for men and women alike.

Is it necessary to have maintained acupucnture treatment?

Once you are completely cured or feeling much better, we suggest that you continue acupuncture treatment at least 3-4 times per month to keep you body and immunity system stronger, and prevent your disease from coming back or getting a new disease.

Can acupuncture help me prevent sick?

Acupuncture is wonderful for general well-being, stress-reduction and boosting immunity. Acupuncture and herbs can help strengthen you again. Some people, once their problem has resolved, come monthly or seasonally to prevent allergy flare-ups, for example.

Can acupuncture treatment help with non-physical problems?

Of course it can. We believe that the body is both spiritual and physical. Acupuncture treats both sides of the issue, whereas traditional western medicine only treats one.

Are the needles sterile?

Absolutely. Only the highest quality stainless steel disposable needles are used. These come in pre-sterilized sealed packets and are discarded after use.

Why some of my favorite food is forbidden by my TCM doctor or my acupuncturist?

In TCM, the food are divided into different natures: cold, cool, warm, hot, generate sputum, generate dryness, generate stagnation (obstruction), etc. So if you are a cold type person or your problem is cold by nature, the TCM doctor will suggest you avoid the cold or cool food but encourage you eat warm or hot food etc. Generally, spicy food is warm or hot by nature, many vegetables are cold or cool, some fruits are warm or hot etc. That is why.
