Cosmetic Acupuncture & Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation has become increasing popular with those that want a youthful look without cosmetic surgery (or that want to maintain the surgical work that has been done). Sandra McKay-Billion studied and practices Mei-Zen cosmetic acupuncture. This treatment consists of a consult and herbal/dietary recommendations followed by a session of 10 weekly treatments. Once a course of treatments has been finished, patients are advised to come in once per month to maintain the results. The acupuncture treatments consist of placing very fine acupuncture needles in acupuncture points to increase blood flow and “lift” the muscles of the face. Needles are also placed in the lines of the wrinkles to stimulate collagen growth. Sandra McKay-Billion also recommends specific chemical free topicals that nourish the skin.
