Acupuncture as an alternative to a face lift?

If you’re wanting to look younger and are considering some of the increasingly invasive and drastic procedures like injections or cosmetic surgery, have you thought approximately acupuncture instead? Although acupuncture has existed for thousands of years, it’s only really been in use here in the U.S. for face lifts for approximately 20 years or so. And the technique may not be what you expect — an acupuncture face lift isn’t what I pictured at first, which was needles sticking all by a person’s face. It’s much increasingly complicated and often the needles are put other places on the body based on where the acupuncturist determines the problems (the wrinkles) are

originating from.

Have you tried it? Would you try it? Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, and Cher apparently have. What do you think?

      I have had several friends try this treatment and encourage me to go through with it myself. It is going to take me a little while to get used to the idea of needles being pushed into my face before I will give in and go for a treatment like this myself.
