Great Jones Spa Announces New Acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Treatments as a Natural Alternative to Plastic Surgery

Luxury holistic spa in downtown New York offers the highly effective “acupuncture facelift” to turn back the clock without surgery, and traditional acupuncture treatments to help restore the body’s natural balance and optimal health.

(PRWEB) February 18, 2005

The premiere Manhattan destination for those seeking total beauty through inner harmony and balance, Great Jones Spa today announced its new acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatments.

“We promote holistic health and beauty, so acupuncture was a natural fit”, says Donna Creagh, Great Jones Spa’s director and general manager. “Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture really works and is non-invasive and much safer than surgery.”

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, or the “Acupuncture Facelift”, is a safe, effective, and painless way to reduce the signs of aging and restore a more youthful appearance. A truly holistic approach, the “Acupuncture Facelift” improves facial muscle tone, increases collagen production to firm the skin and fill out wrinkles, lifts sagging skin, reduces edema, and can profoundly effect hormone regulation, improving conditions like acne and overly dry, irritated skin. During Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, fine needles are placed on acupuncture points on the face, head, and body to increase blood flow and stimulate energy conduction to the face, thereby improving muscle tone and skin tension from within. Results are noticeable after the first treatment; however a series of treatments are recommended for longer lasting results. A cold stone facial can also be added on to enhance the “Acupuncture Facelift” experience and sooth any inflammation.

An initial 105-minute consultation with treatment costs $150; 60-minute follow-up treatments are $120, and 90-minute treatments with a Cold Stone Facial are available for $200.

Based on traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is increasingly accepted by mainstream western medicine as a gentle, painless, and effective treatment to increase overall health, enhance energy, regulate body functions, treat stress, and relieve pain.

Acupuncture can be used to treat everything from low energy, headaches, and chronic pain to depression, infertility, and digestive and weight disorders. Initial 105-minute consultations and treatments cost $150, with 60-minute follow-up treatments available for $130.

All Great Jones Spa acupuncture treatments are delivered by renowned alternative medicine provider Mitchell Wolf. “Mitchell’s acupuncture technique is amazing. Not only do you never feel ‘needled,’ the after affects of even a single session can leave your formerly tired self skipping around like a teenager,” says Marcia Kilgore, founder of Bliss Spa.

As with all spa services, acupuncture treatments include the Great Jones Cure, which the spa promotes to inspire guests to break away from the rush and demands of daily life and take time to re-center themselves. The Great Jones Cure includes full use of Great Jones SpaÂ’s river rock sauna, chakra light steam room, cold plunge pool, hot tub, and wet lounge solarium up to two hours prior to and one hour following spa treatments. However, all steams, saunas, and stimulating activities should be completed at least 1 hour prior to acupuncture treatment.
