Acupuncture Can Make You Look 10 Years Younger

By Wendy Lind


Acupuncture is not just for the treatment of pain or disease. In fact, cosmetic acupuncture is a safe alternative to plastic surgery and other surgical procedures on your face! Acupuncture is virtually painless and offers a natural, safe and effective method for smoothing out lines, evening out skin tone, enhancing muscle tone and improving your overall appearance.

Acupuncture focuses on the well-being of the entire body. It is a traditional Chinese medicine dating back over 6000 years so you can be assured the techniques have been refined and perfected. Acupuncture zeroes in on blocked flow of blood and of vital energy, called Qi (pronounced chee) in the body. By unblocking this vital energy, acupuncture can aid in minimizing crow's feet, frown lines, smile lines, firming the jaw line and reducing the jowls, reducing a double chin, lifting drooping eyelids, evening out skin tone and greatly enhancing facial tone.

Acupuncture can enhance and revitalize the beauty of your face as well as your entire body when used as a cosmetic therapy. The vital energy and blood flows within your body along meridians, each of which is associated with a specific organ in the body. Acupuncture therapy strives to unblock Qi by inserting needles about the thickness of a human hair into specific points in the body, called acupoints, for a duration of several minutes during each treatment. Elastin and collagen production are increased, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate dull facial skin when your meridians are cleared.

In addition to increasing the production of collagen, an essential protein, acupuncture helps restore hormonal balance in the body. Hormonal imbalances are partially responsible for blemishes, acne and poor skin tone. Acupuncture also helps enhance the flow of vital energy, blood and lymph which work to relax and rejuvenate the skin.

Your acupuncture therapy program will be personalized for your situation and your desired results. The therapy will include treatments several times a week initially, and will run for several weeks. Your Acupuncturist will talk to you about your lifestyle, including your skin care regimen to determine the contributing factors of aging. Good nutrition and regular exercise including facial exercises and massage will prolong the positive benefits achieved through acupuncture.

Cosmetic Acupuncture therapy will yield increased energy and an improved feeling of well-being as circulation is improved and nutrients are carried to the muscles and nerves throughout your entire body. The result is not only a younger looking appearance, but also enhanced skin tone and vitality of all muscles and skin.

The positive results of acupuncture will aid in enhancing your outlook, help you keep a positive attitude and reduce the stress and other influences that negatively impact the flow of vital energy in your body. You will be more enthusiastic about on-going care for your face and entire body when you develop improved self-esteem.

When you feel good, you look good! Acupuncture is an ideal, non-invasive, drug-free therapy for helping you accomplish both results. Don't wait another year! Call today to find out how acupuncture can take 10 years off your appearance.
