The face has many muscles. With the acupuncture needles, the
acupuncturist relaxes those muscles and stimulates them. The result is
higher production of collagen and more tone in the face.

In acupuncture, the main belief is that blockages of chi energy in the body
can cause illnesses or imbalances. The application of acupuncture needles
can help free the body of those blockages and let the chi energy flow freely
bringing health and wellness back.

Although many regular doctors question the technique, recent studies have
proven that acupuncture can help to relive this arthritis pain and arthritis in
general. There are not enough studies to either prove that acupuncture
works or not.

Increase collagen elasticity on the skin
Tighten the skin on the face
Improve muscle tone

Wrinkles and fine lines including Crow's feet, laugh lines, necklines,
and stress and frown lines

How does acupuncture facelift work?

There is no one standard treatment. It is still evolving, therefore, every
acupuncturist has his/her own style. Normally it follows the regular
acupuncture treatment standards. The acupuncturist analyzes your general
health, eating, sleeping, and fitness habits and assesses stress level. Then
the acupuncturist develops a special treatment for each person.

The key to this treatment is the application of the acupuncture needles on
the face. Some acupuncturists also recommend intake of Chinese herbs.

Does acupuncture facelift hurt?

There is a little discomfort when the needles are pushed in the skin, but it is
neither painful nor does it require any down time. It does not cause scars or
irritation. You can go back to your normal life right after the treatment.

Should I try acupuncture facelift?

Realistically speaking, acupuncture cannot cut extra skin nor change the
shape of your nose, but it can potentially help to improve muscle tone and
increase the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is what gives the
skin its radiance, and youthful and healthy look.
