Facial Acupuncture 

What Makes F.A.C.E. Different from Other Facial Acupuncture Treatments?

F.A.C.E. is a safe, non-surgical, and natural way to rejuvenate the skin and reduce visible signs of aging. It integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and meridian theory) with Western anatomical and fascia theories to stimulate muscles, fascia, meridians, and skin. This process helps restore subcutaneous blood circulation, boost collagen production, and relax muscle tension—resulting in smoother fine lines, reduced puffiness, enhanced jawline definition, and a naturally radiant complexion.

Unlike traditional facial acupuncture, F.A.C.E. employs ultra-fine needles (0.10–0.14mm, thinner than a human hair at 0.15mm) and delicate techniques to restructure subcutaneous tension. Because of its precision and complexity, F.A.C.E. requires specialized training and certification.

The History of F.A.C.E.

Facial Acupuncture for Charm and Elegance (F.A.C.E.) was founded by Professor Song Jung-hwa of Kyung Hee University in South Korea. Originally, Professor Song used acupuncture to treat facial nerve paralysis and observed that, over time, patients experienced not only functional improvements but also enhanced facial contours, smoother skin, and increased elasticity. This discovery led to the development of beauty acupuncture techniques.

In 2013, Dr. Jui-Pin Shen, M.D., introduced the F.A.C.E. system to Taiwan. With over 20 years of practice in Asia, this advanced method has recently gained popularity in the United States as a highly effective, non-invasive facial rejuvenation technique.

FAQs

Q1: What Should I Know About F.A.C.E. Aftercare?

After facial acupuncture, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to maximize results. Avoid biting hard objects or chewing gum, as this may affect facial symmetry. Additionally, refrain from consuming alcohol, as it can lead to skin looseness and sagging, which may diminish the benefits of the treatment. This guideline follows Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, which emphasizes maintaining internal balance for optimal skin health.

Q2: Is the Number of Needles Important for F.A.C.E.?

The effectiveness of F.A.C.E. acupuncture is not solely dependent on the number of needles used. Since each facial muscle has a unique structure and function, proper placement is key. The success of the treatment relies on the precision, technique, and expertise of the practitioner rather than simply the quantity of needles applied.

Q3: How Many Sessions Are Needed to Achieve the Best Results?

The number of treatments varies based on age and skin condition:

• Younger individuals may need six sessions for noticeable results.

• Older individuals may require 12 sessions for optimal effects.

For long-term maintenance, it is recommended to continue with one or two sessions per month after completing the full course, as aging is a continuous process.
