Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture

Facial Acupuncture for Wrinkles (in a Nutshell)…

How Acupuncture Treats Wrinkles

-Wrinkles form when collagen becomes weakened in the skin’s dermis layer and eventually folds over on itself

(like a piece of paper folded too many times makes a sharp crease).

 

-Many tiny Acupuncture needles are inserted into the face. These create minor micro injuries to the targeted (wrinkle) area.

 

-These micro injuries stimulate the body to build collagen in the area, repairing the dermis in a sort of defense mechanism, resulting in improved elasticity with smoother, more toned skin overall.

 

It is similar to how muscle fibers break down with tiny tears after lifting weights.

The repairing process takes place afterwards, especially during sleep as the muscle fibers build back up in strength. 

Pretty cool, huh?

 

 

Collagen Production 

Facial Acupuncture prompts the body to build collagen in the face.

This improves elasticity and decreases appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,

such as crow’s feet around the eyes and smile lines “parentheses” lines also known as nasolabial fold (Latin for nose-lip fold),

marionette lines (lines that extend down from the mouth to the jaw), and forehead wrinkles.

 

Aleesha D Acupuncture uses the Mei Zen protocol in which more than 50 very tiny needles are inserted into the face. This protocol also treats the entire body. Needles are added in the hands and feet, legs and arms to treat the whole individual as she presents. So, digestion, energy, sleep, hormonal support and more can be treated at the same time!

Aleesha Ackerman, LAc treats fine facial wrinkles using the famous cosmetic acupuncture protocol of Mei Zen.

This protocol is also known as My Zen. This cosmetic facial acupuncture protocol is the only protocol that uses more than fifty needles inserted into the face with acupuncture needles inserted elsewhere in the body. Not to worry-these needles are tiny!

This cosmetic facial treatment that treats the entire body, not just the face.

So, we are addressing other systems in the body simultaneously as needed. Digestion for instance, may need some care shown to it during the treatment. This protocol treats your face and your body…It truly is a two-for-one acupuncture treatment!

Foods for Glowing Skin and More…

Looking to Feeling Better AND Look Better, too?…

Look to Foods that help repair collagen, the connective tissues in the face and body.

 

It only makes sense that these same foods help lower inflammation and pain to help lower:

  • Joint pain
  • Headaches
  • General aches and Pains

Read Acupuncture & Other Tips for Joint Pain Here

 

Foods that have:

  • Color variety
  • Fiber
  • EFA’s
  • Water 
  • Antioxidants
  • Antibiotic-free
  • Additives-free

 

Choose natural foods (not packaged nor over-refined).

Eat High fiber, natural foods such as many vegetables like peppers and avocados and pumpkin seeds.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) are necessary to hold up collagen to avoid severe wrinkles and breaking down of tissues in the body (Fish oil, nut oils, etc.)

  • Flax seed/ Flax oil
  • Sardines
  • Mackerel
  • Salmon
  • Walnuts
  • Pumpkin seeds

 

Foods in many (natural) colors:

-Eat colorful, antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries, raspberries (especially for fertility), spinach, kale, peppers

(unless you must avoid nightshades).

 

Avoid food color additives  (unless natural colorings such as beet juice powder)

 

Choose foods like avocados that are rich in fiber and good fat (easy to make guacamole in minutes to dip celery into)

Bell peppers in green, red, yellow and orange make great dipping replacements for chips and go well with hummus. Make your own to avoid hydrogenated oils, too!

Pumpkin seeds are high in EFA’s, fiber and Zinc (great for immunity).

 

Foods High in h20:

Foods high in water content plump the skin all over the body and help avoid dehydration and premature wrinkles.

Hydration also flushes the body, helping keep excess salt from damaging the internal organs, such as the kidneys…

–When kidneys have to overwork due to too much salt, kidneys may be  unable to remove enough water in the body; high blood pressure may result.

 

Avoid meats with antibiotics and additives:

Avoid foods with chemical additives such as added nitrates/nitrites used in deli meats and cheeses (naturally-occurring and celery-based is okay).

These unnatural added nitrates/nitrites can lead to things like gout which is very painful!

Needle size shown

Q: How BIG are Acupuncture Needles?

Needle size shown

Often times I get asked by new patients and people in general,

“How BIG Are those (Acupuncture) Needles?”

 

A: Smaller than You May Think!

Acupuncture needles are 1/10th the gauge (thickness) of a hypodermic needle used to administer a vaccine.

So, 10 acupuncture needles can fit inside of the needle used for a tetanus shot.

 

The Long and Short of It:

Q: How Long are Acupuncture Needles?

A: It depends…

As far as length, they are quite varied.

Some are as short as 1/2 inch, some are longer than 3 inches.

 

The Short…

Acupuncture needles that are on the shorter side are used for areas like the face and even the feet.

Short acupuncture needles can also be used on smaller framed bodies or more frail or sensitive individuals.

 

The Long…

I typically use longer length needles around 3 inches to treat Sciatica pain.

This is because a longer needle is needed in order to get past the adipose (fat tissue) layer, down into the muscle and the area where the sciatic nerve is inflamed in the hip/ buttock area.

This helps lower the inflammation around the nerve to relieve the pain and numbness.

In Summary

Acupuncture needles come in all varieties. Some are used for dry needling, some for increasing collagen production in the face.

TMJ Jaw Pain or Headache? 

Here are 7 things to try…

  1. TMJ massage
  2. Mouth guard
  3. Body scan meditation
  4. Position of tongue 
  5. Acupuncture on TMJ trigger points
  6. Holding a pencil or finger in your mouth
  7. Get Hypnotized

 

TMJ massage can be done on the INSIDE  of the mouth.

That is right! The inside of the mouth is massaged to release TMJ pain.

I can refer you to someone who is trained in this and gets good results with my patients!

 

Mouth guard may be worn at night for bruxism. Bruxism is clenching the teeth.

Dentists will make you one that fits your individual mouth.

Hopefully your insurance covers some or all of the cost of a dental mouth guard.

 

Also, you can buy a primitive, sports style at a pharmacy (the kind you mold to your mouth by boiling in a pot ahead of time).

 

Body scan with Jon Kabat-Zinn is helpful as a meditation.

This is free on YouTube. It lasts about forty minutes.

I am always shocked how there is tension somewhere in my body that I was not aware of holding!

 

Tongue Position can make a difference. Hold your tongue behind your upper front teeth/on the roof of your mouth.

This is called your hard palate. Practice holding your tongue here in a resting position as much as possible.

Yogis often focus on keeping the tongue in this position.

 

-Over time you will get used to doing this, as with anything you practice.

 

Acupuncture works great when needles are placed within the TMJ trigger points. Headache points may be used as well.

Most patients feel better the first time and have marked results after a few treatments.

 

Holding a pencil or even your pointer finger in between your front upper and lower teeth can train the teeth to stay apart.

I did this for two weeks, about 10 minutes per day–usually while typing posts like this.

I found that at first I kept biting my own finger and the pencil showed teeth marks afterward.

-Eventually I was able to train myself to stop clenching so there were no teeth marks.

 

Hey-be sure to use a brand new pencil (without teeth marks).

Hee-hee!

 

Hypnosis- Someone close to me tried a hypnotist to stop clenching and it worked!

This individual damaged teeth for years due to the constant day and night jaw clenching.

I know someone who is trained and has had success with this and can refer you, if needed.

Collagen Powder for Healthier Skin, Digestion and Joints!

Have you heard a lot of buzz lately about collagen? Are You Looking for something easy to take that can help you feel better and look better, too? Many patients rave about how they can tell a difference in the fullness of their face after taking collagen.

How do you build Collagen in your body?

Collagen hydrolysate powder can help build collagen from the “inside-out.” This tasteless powder mixes into warm water easily. It works the same as the gelatinous substance found in your homemade chicken stock-except it is even more easily digestible!

Where does Collagen Build in your Body?

Taking collagen as a supplement goes to work in your joints and the infrastructure of collagen building in the face, as in filling out the face for wrinkle prevention. Think of collagen as a matrix of built-up netting. This is what makes a baby’s face so full and kissable! It is also one of the easiest proteins to digest. For easiest assimilation in the gut, take the “hydrolysate” powder form. This is key to those of us who have less than ideal digestive systems for a host of reasons, such as auto-immune issues like Hoshimoto’s Hypothryoidism. 

Aleesha D Acupuncture now carries Collagen hydrolysate powder by Great Lakes brand, one of the most top-rated and least inexpensive of the collagens on the market. It is grass-fed and pasture-raised. Stop by and pick up a canister or on-the-go packets for travel. Aleesha never travels without it!

Sure, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture decreases deep wrinkles, erases fine wrinkles and helps the body boost collagen, but did you know it also helps the Body?…

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture at Aleesha D Acupuncture involves acupuncture in the face area and other parts of the body which correspond to facial concerns of the patient and have the added benefit of working on the overall constitution of the body.

Much of what is going on constitutionally within an individual’s body can be seen on the face. Acupuncturists are able to treat not only wrinkles, crow’s feet and neck jowls…treatments go beyond vanity and wanting to look good to wanting to feel good on the inside and out. Issues such as imbalanced digestion can be worked on, whether an individual tends toward being more on the constipated side or loose stool/ diarrhea-type digestive upset. Other examples of what Facial Acupuncture can help include

Improved:

  • Mood
  • Sleep
  • Energy
  • Libido
  • Metabolism

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Coming Soon!

What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is used by many to erase fine wrinkles, diminish deep wrinkles and improve collagen. 

How Long Has it Been Around?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture has been around and used by Asian Women for thousands of years to help keep a youthful appearance!

Why Facial Rejuvenation?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a wonderful alternative for many, like me who will never consider getting injections such as Botox into the face! Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is not only for wrinkles- it also helps with headaches, other skin issues such as Rosacea and Acne and is used for facial muscle issues like facial tics or spasms, i.e., Bell’s palsy whereby half of the face is paralyzed. 

Facial Rejuvenation is Coming Soon to Aleesha D Acupuncture in Anoka!

Keep posted for more information on when Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture will be available for you in Anoka.

Facial Gua Sha for Skin

 

Facial tools, usually made from Jade for it’s cooling properties are used to smooth out wrinkles on the face and increase circulation. Usually gua sha is used with facial cups for facial cupping and most often both are used with facial acupuncture for what is known as Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.

What is Gua Sha Used For?

Gua sha is used for Rosacea, Melasma, dark circles, sagging, puffiness and to smoothe out wrinkles.

  • Rosacea
  • Melasma
  • Wrinkles
  • Dark circles
  • Puffiness of skin
  • Sagging skin

How it Works:

Acupuncture points are stimulated with the gua sha tool on the face to increase blood circulation and decrease stagnation and inflammation. Gently massaging the face over acupuncture points with gua sha smoothes out wrinkles such as the furrow between the eyebrows and deep wrinkles of the forehead. Gua sha can be used along with facial cupping and facial rejuvenation or as a treatment alone.

Facial Cupping with Facial Acupuncture

What is Facial Cupping Used For?

Facial Cupping is used by itself or alongside facial acupuncture. Facial cupping can help with increased local circulation or the flow of qi and blood to the face. It can also aid in the absorption of facial serums. Cupping can reduce dark circles, diminish puffy areas of the face and help the skin to look more youthful again.

TMJ and Sinus pressure may also be relieved through Facial Cupping.

Does Facial Cupping Hurt?

No, facial cupping does not hurt nor irritate the skin. Facial cupping is suitable and can be effective to use on Acne and Rosacea. Cups used for facial cupping are much smaller and are left on for much less time than the cups used on other parts of the body.

Gua Sha is a common tool used along with cupping on the face and can help with Acne, dark circles, Melasma and Rosacea.
