What Is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
Author: Karina Jacobsen

What wouldn't any woman or any modern man for that matter, do to turn back the clock as far as their looks went? Anti-aging treatments account for a billion-dollar business today. For those unacquainted with the unconventional beauty treatments available today, sticking needles in the face may seem like we are taking it a tad too far. However these same people who run far away from needles would have never imagined that one day they would come back looking for a safe alternative to take years off the face and body. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture gives you that. The idea of revitalizing the face by sticking needles into it now would not seem such a bad idea after all.

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is based on the incredible success of general acupuncture and concentrates on enhancing youthful looks. The professionals assert that it can take away years from the face by reducing the age lines and at the same time also revitalizing and beautifying the individual on the whole.

As all treatments go, facial rejuvenation acupuncture aims to influence energy centers in the body also called 'chee' so as to remedy the blocked energy flows that reflect badly on the body and soul. This task is achieved by placing hair thin needles in the skin along energy channels to re-route the flow. This concept of channeling energy through matter connected to the human body has been universally accepted for a long time. There are other therapies like ayurveda and gem therapy that are based on the same principles. However acupuncture has acquired greater acceptance along with solid proof to reinforce its claims. The way it works on the other hand is a little hard to explain.

Keeping in mind that every individual is unique with different needs, facial rejuvenation acupuncture not only treats the face but also channelizes energy in the rest of the body which is also responsible for an aging face. The needles can therefore be inserted anywhere in the body to show results. The interlinking of systems when it comes to circulation of energy is not surprising as many of the energy flows start or end in the face. The acupuncture professionals will thoroughly examine the patient, studying the energy flow to find the blockage points and the areas that need to be worked on before zeroing in on a treatment plan.

Practitioners claim that the procedure can take almost 10 to 15 years off, moisturizing the skin at the same time by increasing the circulation. It will also be able to remove small wrinkles and lessen the large ones. All this can be done in just a few sittings. It can also enable the reduction of double chins and jowls, lift sagging eyelids as well as treat the dark circles under the eyes.

These claims are definitely very ambitious. But keeping in mind that the only thing to lose here is your wrinkles, it is not a very high price to pay. So here is a chance for every woman (and some men, too) to get what she's always wanted - everlasting youth!
