Traditional Chinese Medicine Key Principles
According to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, wrinkles begin internally from weaknesses and imbalance of flow of energy. Energy circulates all over the body and face along pathways called meridians and provides nourishment, support, and energy to every cell, tissue, muscle and organ. As we age, circulation to and nourishment of the skin is reduced, leading to wrinkles, and it becomes more difficult for the energy to flow upwards to “lift” the face which leads to sagging skin.
Why does Sen recommend Face Therapies?
Traditional methods such as acupressure and acupuncture can reduce the signs of ageing by strengthening and stimulating the energy circulation and blood flow.
Sen Anti-Age Acupressure
Facial acupressure is designed to stimulate key nerves and muscle fibres deep within the skin’s layers to boost natural collagen production and enhance the skin’s appearance. A Sen Masseur will manipulate these unique pressure points on the jaw, forehead and temple areas to release trapped energy and increase circulation.
After this massage you will feel relaxed and your skin will look more vibrant and youthful.
Sen Anti-Age Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical, non-chemical anti-ageing treatment. Fine needles will be inserted into acupoints on the jaw, forehead and temple areas in order to increase the energy circulation to the face and stimulate natural collagen production resulting in firmer looking skin and reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
The Proven Effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Face Therapies
For the past 3000 years during which we have medical records from the long history of Chinese civilization, Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used extensively to slow down the ageing process. Today, non-invasive and non-irritating face therapies are more and more suggested as an alternative method for reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating skin. Many celebrities, the people who have a professional as well as personal interest in the benefits of face therapies, have given up Botox in favour of facial acupuncture!
According to an article in the Daily News Central entitled “Acupuncture may rejuvenate aging skin” published in 2005: “Several area doctors of Oriental medicine say cosmetic acupuncture or facial rejuvenation can bring postmodern faces the same youthful appearance it has achieved for Asian royalty for centuries without the trauma or expense of surgery.”
