Facial rejuvenation acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture, is replacing anti-aging creams and other expensive chemicals used to treat the signs of aging.  Acupuncture is becoming more popular for those who want to maintain beauty without having to undergo surgery.  Individuals are seeking acupuncture instead of Botox or plastic surgery because it is a natural and inexpensive way to reduce the signs of aging. The hearsay and criticisms of the effectiveness of facial acupuncture can be laid to rest.  Research from the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture studied 300 people treated with facial acupuncture.  Their results concluded that 90% of individuals saw beneficial results in one treatment. 

 How it Works

       Facial acupuncture eliminates wrinkles and fine lines through the increase of energy flow and lymph circulation in the body.  Acupuncture also promotes collagen production that improves muscle tone.  When muscle tone is improved, patients will see a reduction in bags and sagginess in the skin.  For the best results, many doctors recommend 2-3 treatments a week for several weeks, but that is dependent upon the individual.  The need for acupuncture for those who utilize it will decrease over time because the benefits of treatment tend to work longer as patients progress.  Individuals seeking to improve facial beauty without cosmetic surgery should consider this non-invasive and healthy alternative.
