Facial acupuncture, also known as acupuncture face-lift and facial rejuvenation is a form of acupuncture that is applied in an attempt to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Acupuncture itself has been practiced for thousands of years, and although the cosmetic variety itself has been around for much of that time, new variations and techniques have evolved and become more popular in the western world.
Cosmetic acupuncture focuses upon reducing the signs of ageing and is applied to the areas of the face prone to lines and wrinkles.
The application of the needles is generally done across several meridian lines, including several not on the face, across which the body's qi flows, as well as several other acupuncture points including on the forehead, cheeks, ears, chin, around the eyes and along the wrinkles themselves.
The insertion of needles causes blood to circulate throughout the face. It is claimed that the process also prompts development of new collagen fibres throughout the face, causing the reduction of existing wrinkles, however this is disputed.
