Holding Back The Years With Acupuncture

Although not everybody would admit of their vanity, it is not secret that both men and women would want to hold back the years for as long as they can and any sign of aging could pose as a challenge. Aside from graying hair and failing health, wrinkles are the most visible signs of aging that most people would want to get rid of. And as in every single day that you turn older, selecting the right anti-aging method would be just as taxing. The challenge starts with the first wrinkle that you encounter. Although there are a lot of anti-aging facial creams and cosmetic methods that would help keep the years away, choosing the right product that would suit you would be tough, not to mention the different brands in store shelves that don’t actually work. But have you ever tried the facial rejuvenation method that applies acupuncture? Yes, cosmetic acupuncture are now included in most spa salon services. Let me cite the rejuvenating experience of a 59 year old woman who underwent cosmetic acupuncture. Upon hearing about cosmetic acupuncture, Robin was instantly attracted to it especially that the procedure does not require invasive surgery such as Botox and other face-lifting procedures. Robin, who have had acupuncture treatments before for other purposes, already knew that the process would have no side-effects and would in fact treat other imbalances in the body aside from thinning out her fine lines. She had her treatments at Zen Redhead Acupuncture and was amazed by the noticeable improvements in her appearance. A session of cosmetic acupuncture would usually take one and a half hour, which is quite longer compared to the typical 45 minute session of other acupuncture treatments. The acupuncturist will insert needles in the different acupuncture points in the body that are associated with the face, and then a facial massage will polish the entire process. A complete treatment will run for 10 sessions, which will be ensued by maintenance sessions every two months. Tamara, who treated Robin at the Zen Redhead Acupuncture, said although cosmetic acupuncture cannot totally replace a surgical procedure, it has been proven effective to fade out fine lines and help firm up the skin. What makes it more commendable is that, aside from being a drug-free procedure, its holistic approach also covers treating the imbalances in the body’s system that could help slow down the process of aging. However, people with unhealthy lifestyle are most unlikely to respond to the treatments. Cosmetic acupuncture is not advisable for patients suffering from high blood pressure, or those with pacemakers, and with blood-related problems like those who easily bruise or bleed. Pregnant women are also advised not to resort to this procedure.

For most, this is a very safe procedure.
