We knew of acupuncture for pain relief or control of many diseases but now found acupuncture to serve aesthetics. Is there any scientific basis the use of acupuncture in these beauty treatments?

The pair of Acupuncture and beauty is of recent development in the West. It is, in practice, an extension to serve the aesthetics of a form of therapy that appeared in ancient China. In recent times people are more aware and convinced of a better aesthetic appearance. The beauty is an essential component for living in society today.

There is a way to stretch the skin that requires no points, no pain, no inflammation, or even require the patient to spend some time hiding from the world. Because it is surgery. Since a large and ever-increasing power of acupuncturists say remove the brands of the finest years with the needles of this extraordinary science China.

The system came into vogue in California, United States, including movie stars, and is spreading so incredible today. New York is the second center of Acupuncture aesthetics in the World, thousands of New Yorkers who have had their wrinkles and gathers to the rejuvenating influence of the famous needle and are satisfied with the results. “I feel like a tigress,” says Jerry Blome 58, “I am 42, is a miracle.” “I was resigned to spend the summer wearing a scarf to hide my neck wrinkles,” says Dority Harrys, a teacher fifties. “But after the second treatment cosmetic acupuncture I look in the mirror and I thought I was seeing wrong, neck wrinkles were gone, it’s a great way.”

Cosmetic acupuncture is effective
The degree of effectiveness of Acupuncture aesthetics and the reason for this effectiveness are points that remain shrouded in mystery. A British expert, Dr. Ralf Sepson, working with the Acupuncture Group, acupuncture treatment group in New York, merely saying “we do not know why he acts, patients are convinced that something happens and something indeed happens. We must stop thinking like a Westerner, explaining how cosmetic acupuncture is trying to impose unnecessary logic to something whose effectiveness is unproven. No scientific investigator understands at all what needles do.

This complicated mix of science and art based on oriental philosophy of human duality has survived virtually intact, 5,000 years of history. This in itself already says a lot about their effectiveness, of course has suffered its ups and downs and now is in full ascent. Since Mao promoted its use in China and became known in the Western world has grown in popularity dramatically. An acupuncturist gives the following explanation: “Art is a very old but very modern in its concepts, like electricity is based on the interaction of positive and negative forces, which generate a special energy force.

The disease is an imbalance of these forces, the Yin and Yang of Chinese philosophy, in the needles activate the body energy flow, so that balance is reached normal reset. Treatment for stretching the facial skin is the insertion of 36 needles as thin as a hair on different body parts (face, neck, hands and legs) are so fine they are barely felt when inserted. A patient mentions: “They seem to mini-bite of a mosquito.”

According to the state it is the skin, the needles remain inserted 5 to 10 minutes. Patients state that produces no pain and many even enjoy the treatment. In Aesthetic Acupuncture needles are not placed in the place where the problem occurs, but where they can influence (directly or indirectly) on it. Imagine the human body is a railway with stops for express trains and local, and some stations have more connections than others. Only thus can we understand how a needle inserted into the gastrocnemius muscle can change the status of the neck.

What reaction occurs in the body for cosmetic acupuncture?

Dr. Thomas CF Lee, president of the American Association of Acupuncture, describes them this way, the needles cause a contraction in the dermis (or inner layer of the skin), with the needles stimulate the appropriate nerves. These cause the contraction of facial muscles are collected and produced by stretching the skin. According to him, the adjustment process is a nervous system and is considered the Chinese method is much healthier than the Western system (trim excess skin), which is always dangerous. How many times can make these cuts? Few, but instead with cosmetic acupuncture can always use a booster treatment.

The process is also described as “a flow of movement to areas in need.” Dr. Fu Yu Yuen explains that “the needles stimulate blood circulation to the face and it tones and strengthens muscles, eliminates dryness, thus erasing wrinkles.” Cosmetic Acupuncture has practiced in many cases, of which 95% are happy with the results. However, despite these successes, not all acupuncturists are dedicated to Acupuncture aesthetics. Dr. Adam Lewemberg, for example, says he has used successfully in some patients, but all were under fifty years old and therefore still retained their skin elasticity due.

“It is possible to select patients who, in reality, if they can benefit from cosmetic acupuncture,” he says, “I would be very useful, for example, a woman with her face still in relatively good condition for several years wanted to postpone the moment of resorting to plastic surgery.
