Does it really make a difference?
Many sources indicate that acupuncture has been used for almost 5,000 years to treat a wide range of conditions. Having proven itself with literally billions of people, Acupuncture has survived the test of time. The effectiveness of Acupuncture is due to its direct manipulation of the body’s energy system – balancing, removing blockages or adding energy when necessary. The use of acupuncture in Cosmetology – especially in preventing and reducing wrinkles – has already attracted great attention in Japan, Hong Kong and Sweden. 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. The effects include: the skin becoming delicate and fair, improvement of the elasticity of facial muscles and levelling of wrinkles, a ruddier complexion, and overall rejuvenation – not confined to the face. Is Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation a new and trendy technique?
For thousands of years, the Chiniese have known that beauty comes from the inside. At least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD) Acupuncture rejuvenation practices were employed for the Empress and the Emporer’s concubines. The Chinese discovered and utilised ways to change the energy flow from within the body to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation. According to a famous Chinese axiom, “Where Qi goes, blood flows.” Even for those unfamiliar with the principles of Chinese Medicine, it is known that increased circulation helps the body to look and feel better. Commonsense would tell us that treating the underlying cause of why someone is ageing is preferable to masking the outward symptoms and allowing further decline and dysfunction to continue within the body.
