Acupuncture for fertility, IVF support, and pain relief... naturally

Research publications

To have research published is truly an honour, and a highlight of my career. It brings me great joy that my research has brought forth evidence of the effectiveness of both Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine; it has influenced how acupuncturists practice; and how the greater biomedical community views our profession. It is only through research and proof of effectiveness, that is presented in internationally and nationally published research such as these, can acupuncture and Chinese medicine grow.

Acupuncture Face Lifts or better known as Cosmetic Facial Rejuvenation (CFR)

By Dr Luke McPherson (TCM)

Cosmetic Facial Rejuvenation (CFR) is a subset of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that takes a holistic approach which aims to make a more beautiful you from the inside out. CFR reduces fine lines and wrinkles and lifts your prominent features on your face through acupuncture. Beauty often comes from the inside; so, your CFR treatment also incorporates a TCM diagnosis and treatment plan that addresses internal conditions that will make a healthier you that glows from the inside out.

Compared to mainstream facelifts, Botox injection, and acid peels, Cosmetic Facial Rejuvenation (CFR) is far less invasive and can deliver comparable results. So, imagine having fantastic results without the risks that accompany surgery, or injecting poisons into your body! While most people don’t know CFR exists, it has actually been in use for more than 2000 years. In fact, wealthy women from ancient China used CFR to defy the effects of aging and maintain a youthful appearance. The modern counter-parts from the West such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Cher, and Madonna use CFR for health and vitality, and let’s face it: they look fabulous!

So how does Cosmetic Facial Rejuvenation (CFR) work?

Acupuncture creates micro-traumas that activate fibroblasts in skin cells to increase collagen and elastin. Collagen is the strength component of skin cells, which will make the area firm and tighten up; elastin provides the flexibility, which provides tensile strength to the skin cell. So, by using acupuncture to increase the production of collagen and elastin you are effectively tightening and strengthening the skin surface therefore smoothing out fine line and wrinkles.

But this isn’t all it does!

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) work from the inside out. A lot of acupuncture channels travel through the face, so an imbalance in an organ system may influence certain areas of the face. Because we can impact areas of the face by targeting organ systems on distal acupuncture channels on the body, we can route oxygenated blood to the face, which will help produce that radiance of health. By addressing the underlying causes of disharmony through TCM diagnosis, I can marry the external and internal approaches providing a more lasting effect.

What Now?

Take the step toward more youthful you with fewer fine lines and wrinkles, and greater health and book in to see Dr Luke McPherson (TCM). It may be the change you have been dreaming about!
