Acupuncture Facial Rejuvination Has Been Popular For Years

As usual in the industry of trends and up-and-coming movements in America, New York and L.A. have long been setting the template of what is cool in the world of new age healing and therapies of complementary and alternative medicines.

Though we, the innovators of altMD, have only recently started locating the latest findings and studies, L.A. and New York Times Magazine recognized the powerful effects of acupuncture face lifts way back in 2004.

As published in the prestigious publication three years ago, facial rejuvenation through acupuncture was hot in the L.A. market long before it became a popular CAM therapy in the rest of America thanks to the efforts from pioneering specialists like the famous Dr. Mao (also known by his full name, Dr. Maoshing Ni).

With one look at a patient’s tongue, Dr. Mao is able to assess and diagnosis patterns of stress and soften lines that commonly show up as wrinkles in the forehead and other facial areas that he can relax with the tiny, hairpin needles. The benefits of facial acupuncture include tightening of skin and muscle tone in the face that only takes 45 minutes on a monthly basis and no waxy, artificial effects like those commonly experienced with chemical injections for youth effects.

Dr. Mao’s pioneering effects of facial rejuvenation through acupuncture were once considered part of America’s counterculture, but soon are becoming more and more a part of integrative therapies that are not so alternative anymore.
