Is acupuncture an alternative to cosmetic surgery?
29th April 2007

According to a recent article, acupuncture is fast overtaking comstic surgery with the world's top celebrities.

Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cher and many others have allegedly turned to an age-old treatment, which replaces the traditional facelift - Cosmetic Acupuncture, which is also known as "acupuncture facial rejuvenation" or an "acupuncture facelift."

For those who are wary of going under the knife, this new procedure may be a more welcome option.

Rather than cutting the skin or using harsh chemical peels, acupuncture provides more subtle results that are noticed over time.

How does it work? A practitioner will insert tiny, thin needles into wrinkles and frown lines. The needles stimulate energy to flow around the face; blood rushes to the surface, and the muscles relax. The muscles then tighten, which decreases sagging of facial skin. The needles also stimulate the cells to create new collagen fibres under wrinkles, filling in fine lines.
