With all the reported risks of plastic surgery, it is no wonder that women are seeking out other options. Plastic surgery requires anesthesia, usually takes several hours, and leaves the patient with a swollen, red, and sometimes bruised face. It takes around two weeks for complete recovery.

In contrast to plastic surgery, cosmetic acupuncture is 100% safe. There are no hazards associated with it, aside from the chance that there may be some slight bruising. The results will not be seen overnight, but the benefits will be long-term and long-lasting. Without invasive surgical procedures or dangerous chemical peels, cosmetic acupuncture leaves you with an subtle, natural beauty and youth to your skin.

The person doing the procedure will put small needles into the skin near each wrinkle or frown line. These needles encourage energy in the facial tissue, sending blood to the surface, and relaxing the muscles. Then each muscle tightens, decreasing the sag of the skin on the face. The insertion of the needles also encourages each cell to build collagen fibers to lift wrinkles and eliminate fine lines. The International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture recently published evidence that 9 out of 10 people who underwent acupuncture to the face experienced softer facial lines, better skin tone, smaller circles under their eyes and an overall facial rejuvenation.

Practitioners charge different fees and differ in the number of treatments they plan to administer. You should be careful, therefore, to choose a licensed practitioner for your cosmetic acupuncture needs. Licensed practitioners have been trained by qualified teachers.

In addition to treating the body as a whole, Acupuncture also has benefits for patients who are undergoing cosmetic facial treatments. Typically, this type of Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is used to alleviate and treat stress, insomnia, anxiety and depression related illnesses, as well as countless other issues that we deal with today's society. Some doubt the validity of facial acupuncture; though the connection between positive well-being and improved skin appearance is easy to comprehend.

You can expect the results from your facial acupuncture to stay anywhere from three to five years. Of course this is to be expected. Even drastic plastic surgeries will not stop the natural aging process. Facial acupuncture is a safe and wonderful measure by which you can attempt to slow it down, however.

A newer and much safer way to reach desirable cosmetic results has come about. Cosmetic acupuncture does not enlist the side effects of going under the knife. Similar to traditional Chinese medicine, a practitioner places very small needles into age lines on the face. The purpose of the needles is to get energy flowing in these areas. As blood rushes to the surface, the muscles tighten which firms the skin. The International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture reports that 90% of trial participants of facial acupuncture noted results like softening of facial lines, better skin tone, lessened blue circles under the eyes, and an overall facial rejuvenation effect.
