Non-Surgical Facelifts with Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine

Using Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine to rejuvenate the face is safe and non-invasive. Dr. John Barrett developed his technique with Dr. Brian Kinney, MD, FACS, a world renown plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. The process is painless and results are lasting.

Like all muscles, as we age facial muscles lose tone causing drooping skin. Dr. John Barrett’s protocol uses percutaneous electronic nerve stimulation to tone the muscles of the face and restore them to their youthful vigor. Tonified face muscles and pull the skin taught and add youthful expression. The process also stimulates collagen formation which adds elasticity to remove or reduce wrinkles. In addition herbal formulae are used to increase blood flow to the face which restores smooth skin tones and decreases darkness form under the eyes. Patients may be given diet and nutrition guidelines with facial qi gong exercises to further enhance treatments.

Treatments may include other aspects of health. For example, a person’s face may grow tired looking and from insomnia. By treating insomnia the patient may sleep better and a maintain a refreshed look. Other common bodily functions which affect facial tone are digestion, stress, chronic pain, a low immune system and poor circulation. Dr. John Barrett is also trained to treat acne and other dermatological conditions. Using a holistic approach of facial rejuvenation, patients not only look younger but they feel younger.

The photographs to the right represent before and after treatments of ten treatments as published by Dr. John Barrett in the Journal of Aesthetic Medicine, August 2005. Obvious results are a reduction of the naso-labial groove, fewer wrinkles under and over the eyes, improved skin tone and an overall healthier look with more expression.
