Constitutional Facial Acupuncture Renewal

Constitutional Facial Acupuncture is a safe, painless and effective treatment for renewing your face as well as your whole body. Fine lines may be entirely erased, deeper lines reduced and bags around neck and eyes firmed. With this type of treatment you should look and feel 5 to 15 years younger!

Fine needles are placed at a variety of acupuncture points on your face, neck and around the eyes to stimulate your body's natural energies, or Qi. Since muscle groups are addressed your face lifts itself through your muscles' toning and tightening action. The needles also stimulate collagen production, increase blood and chi flow which improves your facial color, vitality, and texture.

I am truly grateful to Thomas Hammett for sharing his gift. I am blessed to be in his care. The procedure of facial acupuncture has transformed my appearance, healed the years of damage from sun, smoking and natural aging beyond my expectations. My physical being has and is becoming a reflection of my soul.

I was excited about facial acupuncture when I heard about it from a friend. I was becoming self-conscious about my "jowls". It seemed I was beginning to see my mother when I looked in the mirror. I am amazed at the difference in my appearance after just a few treatments! People are complementing me on how great I look lately... and I love it! Personally, I would never consider plastic surgery for my face. On the other hand, I enthusiastically recommend facial acupuncture to everyone. The entire experience is absolutely amazing. Thank you Tom!

Treatment

Treatments are typically once per week, lasting approximately 90 minutes. When possible, treatments may be twice per week, each lasting approximately 45 minutes.

Typically, clients require a series of 15 treatments to achieve maximum results. However, clients who currently smoke or have smoked, or have skin that sags may require a series of 20 or more treatments due to damage to the skin and muscles of the face and mouth.

Each treatment includes:

  • Dressing in a luxurious spa robe and slippers begins the relaxation process associated with your treatment.
  • Application of a facial cleanser with a combination of organic goat's milk from the Pacific Northwest, natural fruit and alpha-hydroxy acids combined with pearl powder extract, white peach flowers, white lotus flowers, white rose flowers and snow flowers.
  • Detailed examination and evaluation of your face and skin by your practitioner.
  • Private discussion of your desires and concerns regarding the area(s) of your face that will be the focus of your facial treatment.
  • Complete, detailed examination and evaluation to establish your constitutional treatment plan.
  • Application of a nourishing, warm Chinese herbal mask tailored to your specific skin and facial needs. This mask nourishes your skin and relaxes your mind.
  • Thin, sterile, disposable acupuncture needles are placed at various acupuncture points on your body based upon your constitutional evaluation.
  • Gentle removal of the Chinese herbal mask is followed by a cooling and toning facial massage using natural jade stones.
  • Fine acupuncture needles are placed at a variety of acupuncture points on your face, neck and around the eyes stimulating the body's natural energy, Qi.
  • A quiet, relaxing, restful period is provided while the needles and your body, mind and spirit meld. During this time the acupuncture needles stimulate Qi, blood and lymph circulation. Toning and tightening of your facial muscles occurs, and stimulation of collagen production is enhanced. During this time, your sense of stress is reduced while you take-on a feeling of health and well-being.
  • A "renewing" herbal tea becomes a mask when combined with cool, frothed organic egg whites. Application of this fresh mask allows the herbs to penetrate your skin while toning, astringing and stimulating the flow of fresh blood in the facial tissues. The organic essential oils included in this mask hydrates and calms your skin, encourages lymph flow while stimulating collagen and elastin production.
  • Removal of the toning mask with warm water.
  • Application of a lush, non-greasy moisturizing cream containing Vitamin C, high quality pearl powder and antioxidants nurture, feed and soothe your skin, as well as lighten age spots.
  • Once again, a cooling, toning facial massage with natural jade stone rollers.
  • Finally, a very light application of an all-organic, floral mist to hydrate your skin as well as your senses.
  • A re-evaluation of your face and skin by you and your practitioner.
I look forward to my weekly facial acupuncture sessions. I see the improvements in my skin – my face is looking much younger and much more healthy. Additionally, my stress level, associated with my demanding job, is lessening. It seems I always come into my weekly visits in a rush, but leave feeling so calm and peaceful – almost like I have been on vacation. I feel like a new person by the end of my facial acupuncture session. I really can't explain it, but it is the most wonderful calm.
