The author has created a modular program for practitioner
certification in Constitutional Facial Acupuncture. This book
supports the program, and can be used as a self-contained course in
the skills covered. Constitutional Facial Acupuncture is a safe,
painless and effective treatment for renewing the face and the
body. Fine lines may be entirely erased, deep lines reduced and
bags around the neck and eyes firmed. This protocol is based upon
the use of acu-muscle points and Wakefield explains in detail how
to use these specially selected acupuncture points in tandem with
muscle structure. The constitutional underpins this approach to
facial acupuncture needling - every patient is treated according to
their specific constitutional pattern. Facial acupuncture differs
from cosmetic acupuncture in this way. According to Chinese
physiognomy, the shape of the face, its colouration and its
wrinkles are representative of the balance or imbalance of the
organ systems and the emotional core of the patient. Fine needles
are placed at a variety of acupuncture points on the face, neck and
around the eyes to simulate the body's natural energies (qi). Since
muscle groups are addressed as well as acupuncture points, the face
lifts itself, via the acupuncture points, through the muscles'
toning and tightening action. The needles also stimulate blood and
circulation, improving facial colour. The book will introduce a
complete facial and recommended constitutional treatment protocol
including needling instructions, charts and photos that will
clarify the details of the treatments. A full topical Chinese
herbal treatment for the face that can be integrated with facial
needling to achieve more impressive results will also be included.
Benefits, contraindications, recommended treatment duration and
frequency, short and long-term effects, maintenance treatments,
managing patient expectations will all be covered. The protocols
covered will be complete in and of themselves, and will provide
practitioners with information sufficient for them to successfully
become exponents of facial acupuncture. A new and detailed
Constitutional Facial Acupuncture protocol highlights acu-muscle
points, Shen imbalances, lines and wrinkles, needling technique,
relevant points and their locations. A comprehensive constitutional
