Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatment is based on principles of Asian Medicine and involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into particular areas of the body along energy meridians. Specific points are chosen to manipulate the movement of energy in the body according to each persons's needs.
how many treatments do i need?
Usually, the program consists of a series of 12 treatments. The effects become most
