Testimonial
“Michelle’s last course on using Motor Points to treat expressions lines was so engaging and I learnt so much in 5 hours. I thought I wouldn’t be able to apply it instantly with a zoom webinar but Michelle made it very clear how and why to use certain muscle motor points, where and when to apply them with video demos on tricky points. She simplified the expressions of the face diagnostically and I was able to immediately apply what I learnt in clinic the next day and get immediate effects- By far one of the best webinars I have ever done!”

Michelle Gellis is one of a select group of acupuncturists who not only performs the ancient art of facial acupuncture, she also teaches acupuncture facial rejuvenation classes to acupuncturists across the nation.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a centuries old practice. It is a gentle, effective, and safe way to combat the signs of aging and erase years from your face without the risk or downtime of surgery or injections. Acupuncture offers many benefits to those who want to revitalize the look and feel of their skin. It builds collagen, tones muscles, improves circulation, and stimulates blood flow with no risk of scars, infections, rashes, or toxic build-up of chemicals. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is much more than a cosmetic procedure. Acupuncture changes the energy flow within the body and initiates the process for constitutional rejuvenation. If energy is not flowing freely throughout your body then your organs, muscles and lymphatic system cannot function properly, which can contribute to puffiness, bags and premature aging.
Chinese medicine is based on the principle that health is manifested from the inside out. Using this Holistic approach, not only do your frown lines disappear, you feel better overall, sleep better, have more energy and better digestion. As you age, the 57 muscles in your face gradually lose their tone and mass. Loss of tone and mass causes the sagging, deep wrinkling and tired look associated with aging. Acupuncture stimulates the muscle function, and the face lifts itself via the acupuncture points. Thus returning the face to a healthier, revitalized, youthful appearance. Needles are placed on the face in acupuncture points as well as wrinkles. The needles placed in the wrinkles create a micro trauma, which causes collagen to be produced. You will learn specific techniques used by Michelle to achieve her incredible results as shown in some of the photos below.
A series of Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation Treatments Can:
- Erase fine lines, deeper wrinkles diminished
- Lift sagging eye lids, reduce bags/circles
- Firm jowls and minimize double chin
- Improve muscle tone and increase collagen production
- Eliminate puffiness by improving metabolism and eliminating excess fluids
- Improve hormonal balance, benefits acne
- Increase circulation of blood and lymph to the face and improves facial color
- Moisturize the skin and tighten pores
- Significantly reduce the appearance of scars and age spots
- Slow the aging process from within
- Reduce stress evident in the face
- Promote overall health and well being
These photos demonstrate the effects of facial acupuncture.
