A 1996 report in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reported that among 300 cases treated with Facial Acupuncture, 90% had marked effects with one course of treatment.
Cosmetic Acupuncture has recently attracted much media attention, with Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cher reportedly big fans. This remarkable treatment may erase as many as 5 to 15 years from the face. Improving physical appearance with the help of cosmetic acupuncture has a history, which dates back over 800 years to the Sun dynasty, when the empress and the emperor's concubines used it to maintain their youthful allure.
A complete treatment program involves a series of 12 sessions. Following the initial course of treatment, intermittent maintenance sessions can prolong the results for several years. But is it painful? Well, less painful than you might think. A thorough eyebrow plucking from a trained beauty therapist can cause more eye-watering pain than 10 acupuncture needles combined. The treatment is also much easier than going under the surgeon's knife, with full anaesthetic and waking up with a faceful of bandages and bruises. Unlike the injection of potentially harmful chemicals into your skin, cosmetic acupuncture's only side effect is an improved sense of health and well-being!
