Frequently Asked Questions

What is Acugems Facial Rejuve™?
Acugems Facial Rejuve is the newest innovation for smoother, tighter skin using VENUS Facial Gem System.


How does Acugems Facial Rejuveô work?
Acugems Facial Rejuve (AFR) precisely heats the deep layers of your skin using advanced gem radio wave technology to tighten both the very superficial layers of
the skin and skin’s sub-dermal layer, which in other cases requires two separate procedures. The result is skin tightening, new collagen production and increased blood circulation, all of which provides lifting and tightening effects.


Is the use of radio waves new technology?

Radio waves have a lengthy history of use in medicine of
over 70 years. Gradually, its use in the practice of dermatology,
cosmetology, procedures gained momentum and popularity.


What should I expect during the treatment?

You will feel a deep warming sensation each time the Facial Gem System touches the area being treated.


How long does a AFR procedure take?

Your AFR treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes and is designed to achieve maximum comfort. You will experiences a slight sensation of warmth over
targeted areas.


When will I see results, and how often is the treatment cycle?

Many notice a change in your skin that will appear immediately after the first treatment and will continue to improve for weeks to come. Lax skin will be firmer
and more toned, not to mention healthier and younger looking, while wrinkles will
be considerably reduced. Your practitioner will recommend the number of treatments
that would be most beneficial for you, typically between 7 to 12 treatments.


How is AFR different from other skin tightening treatments?

AFR is the only system that combines radio waves, gems, sound, photon light, and the Wisdom of Chinese Medicine. There are minimal side effects and discomfort. Unlike other skin tightening systems, no anesthesia or skin cooling is needed
during your AFR procedure, so you can return to home or work immediately following treatment.


Do I need to do anything in advance to prepare my skin?

Good hydration is vital to beautiful skin so we recommend that you drink an adequate
amount of water every day. Ladies may wear their usual cosmetics. We will cleanse
your face when you arrive and apply a lightweight creme on your face and neck prior to beginning.


What is the history of gemstones?

Gemstones have been used in the art of healing since ancient times. For thousands
of years, people have been using gemstones for their therapeutic effects. Indian
texts, Chinese Medical books, Ebers Papyrus, and Biblical scriptures provide
descriptions and uses of gemstones. Gemstones convert electrical energy into
precise mechanical vibrations.


How do gemstones help the skin?

Since different gems have different colors thus creating different light wavelength
changes and consequently effect the skin in different ways. For example when
tourmaline gems warm, as they do when they are combined with the radio waves,
they have the unique feature of becoming positively charged at one end, and
negatively charged on the other creating negative ions. It is this feature that makes tourmaline so effective at increasing the absorption of nutrients into the skin, so that the skin can be healed and protected as a result. Because tourmaline is an
energizing crystal as well, it can contribute to the vitality of the skin, making it appear more radiant and youthful.


What is the role of sound in AFR?

By combining the use of Facial Tuning Forks during your protocol the body’s energy system revitalizes Qi, boosts the immune system, balances hormones, regulates circulation, and harmonizes yin and yang in the body. Together they create homeostasis and muscle tone.


How do I maintain the results?

The need for follow-up with Acugems Facial Rejuveô varies with the individual. This may be as often as once every 2 to 7 months. The results will be enhanced by good health practices. This includes protecting your skin from the sun; organic skincare; not smoking; drinking a generous quantity of water every day; getting enough sleep; and avoiding caffeine and alcohol.


Are there any contraindications to this procedure?

The conditions which would preclude the Acugems Facial
Rejuveô treatment.

These are:
Epileptic, seizure or cancer patients
Pregnant Women or lactation period
Oral herpes outbreaks
Pace makers or other electromagnetic devices
People with heart disease or heart transplants


What could be the possible side effects after the procedure?

Possible side effects of Acugems Facial Rejuve include mild sensation during the procedure within the area that was treated. Your skin may remain slightly red for 30 to 60 minutes after the procedure..
