Abstract: (4428 Views)
Acupuncture is an ancient medical procedure that is commonly used. It has been used in China for over two thousand years. Acupuncture has gained increasing interest from the public as well as health professionals for a wide range of disorders. This method works through regulation of qi current (life energy in body). Acupuncture has been introduced recently in dermatology for rejuvenation and treatment of facial wrinkles and improving muscle tone and elasticity. Acupuncture is used for treatment of many medical conditions including skin disorders. Tiny, sterile, needles are inserted along meridian lines and acupuncture points to increase blood circulation. Cosmetic acupuncture is a totally natural and holistic anti-ageing treatment that aims to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Different mechanisms have been proposed for cosmetic acupuncture, including increasing muscle elasticity, and restoring muscle tone. There have been also evidence of increase in skin moisture and lipid.
In this method, body points and local facial points are used and usually 10-12 sessions of facial acupunctures are recommended. With the increasing popularity of complementary therapies in the community, acupuncture is also considered as a new therapeutic approach.
