Facial Rejuvenation with Acupuncture
There is a saying in China that beauty comes from the inside out. In order for a person to look beautiful, they must be healthy internally and externally. That is the focus of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, to work on both the inside and outside simultaneously to reduce the signs of aging.
Facial Rejuvenation through acupuncture essentially increases the flow of blood, lymph and nutrients to the face, which leads to a younger appearance with moisturized skin and tightened pores. The acupoints also are manipulated to increase collagen production and dermal contraction. Furthermore, a hormonal balance is achieved that provides an overall sense of well-being that shows on the face. Twelve to fifteen sessions are necessary. The seventh treatment is where a patient will start to notice permanent effects.
Acupuncture vs. Cosmetic Laser Surgery and Botox
Although the same effects can be achieved externally with cosmetic laser surgery, acupuncture is a vastly superior treatment as it heals the root symptoms, which lead to the facial problem in the first place. Thus, over the long-term, treated areas will remained maintained from the inside out.
Acupuncture also does not freeze the facial muscles, and thus is a better alternative to Botox. Furthermore, over time, Botox loses its effectiveness and requires additional injections of the chemical. Eventually a patient can develop a tolerance to it regaling the drug ineffective. As Botox dissolves, it ends up in the liver, which can lead to liver damage.

However, the side-effects of Ritalin, according to the Physician’s Desk Reference, are suppression of growth in height or weight, nervousness and insomnia. These side-effects are the main reason why parents of ADHD children are turning to acupuncture as an alternative to this drug and other medications. Since the 1980’s, clinical trials regarding acupuncture and the treatment of ADHD have shown remarkable results. Acupuncture can be used as an adjunctive treatment to help children with the side-effects of Ritalin or it can be used as an alternative therapy all on its own.
