Acupuncture is a good alternative for women who would rather avoid a
surgical facelift. According to Acupuncturists, 'it is designed to free
up chi, or energy.
When the needles - approximately 30-40 - are
applied to the body and face, production of collagen and
elastin may be
stimulated, which results in the skin looking 'plumped up. It helps your
own body create a more youthful appearance.'
