What is Integrative Cosmetic Rejuvenation?
Integrative
Cosmetic Rejuvenation is a holistic system of therapies
that integrates intramuscular stimulation, nutrition, stress
management, exercise and lifestyle modification. The result

Cosmetic Intramuscular
Stimulation (CIMS)
CIMS is a highly advanced form
of acupuncture based on anatomy and physiology. Needles
are placed perpendicular to the course of wrinkle lines
in the direction of muscle fibers. Stimulation results in
muscle relaxation and skin tonification. Minute injuries
at needle sites create electrical changes that stimulate
growth factors. This results in stronger collagen and connective
tissue, leading to healthier and younger looking skin. CIMS
stimulates the production of endorphins, resulting in total
body relaxation and a feeling of generalized well being.
Frequently
Asked Questions
How
many treatments are recommended?
A
typical course is two times per week for six weeks. One
to two maintenance sessions are recommended every three
months. Patients should come comfortably dressed wearing
no makeup.
How
long do results last?
Results
can last indefinitely, but depend on how well a person takes
care of themselves with diet, exercise, stress management
and lifestyle factors.
Are
there any contraindications?
Integrative
cosmetic rejuvenation is an extremely safe procedure, however
some contraindications include:
1.Pregnancy
2.Local infections
3.Anti-coagulants
4.Bleeding
disorders
5.Cardiac pacemaker
Prior
to treatment, candidates are screened to ensure that there
are no other health conditions unique to them that would
be negatively affected by the procedure.
Why
choose Cosmetic intramuscular stimulation over a surgical
face-lift?
While
not a replacement for surgery, CIMS is an excellent alternative.
It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery, is safe, virtually
painless, and has no side effects or risk of disfigurement.
Unlike surgery that may have an extended recovery period
with swelling and discoloration, there is no trauma from
CIMS. While Cosmetic intramuscular stimulation cannot reshape
one's nose or chin, it is a more subtle rejuvenation that
takes years off one's face safely and naturally while improving
overall health.
