*Acupuncture Facelift
The use of acupuncture for the face has been in practice for just over 20 years. It is believed that wrinkles evolve from specific muscular movements. A skilled and licensed acupuncturist can examine your body and identify the root cause of your facial wrinkles. Treatment will then commence on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for several weeks. Younger patients only require a month and a half worth of treatment, while older patients will probably require two to three months. The needles won't necessarily be inserted in your face. If a specific wrinkle is caused by imbalances in the spleen, for instance, the needles will be inserted in the spleen area. With each successive acupuncture therapy, patients typically notice gradual improvement of their energy levels and skin tone.

*Definition of Holistic
Basically, the definition of Holistic is Incorporating the concept of Holism in theory or practice.
Another definition of Holistic is perceiving with the principles of holism in a system of therapeutics, esp. one considered outside the mainstream of drug oriented medicine, as naturopathy, chiropractic, homeopathy, herbology acupuncture and usually involving nutritional measures.
*Holistic Health - refers to a philosophy of health care that views physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life as closely interconnected and equally important as approaches to treatment. it is also increasingly used in mainstream medical practice as part of a broad view of patient care. This philosophy of health care is frequently associated with alternative medicine,
*History - Holism has existed for ages outside of the academic circles, however, the medical establishment, have only recently begun to integrate it into the mainstream health care system. (They still want to use drugs - Many of which are toxic to the liver)
Holistic health - is not itself a method of treatment, but instead an approach to how treatment should be applied. Traditional drug oriented medical philosophy treats physical symptoms, using standardized methods such as the prescription of drugs or the undertaking of surgery, while the patient is only passively involved. On the other hand, Practices emphasizing holistic health believe that they are treating the whole person. Practitioners of holistic medicine believe that attitudes affect the present condition, and the patient may play an active role in the healing process. We involve our patients and teach them too!
