It must be facelift day, because not two hours after posting about facial yoga, I stumble upon something else I’ve never heard of before: acupuncture facelifts.Much as the name implies, acupuncture facelifts largely involve two items: your face and a bunch of needles.

A more accurate term for an acupuncture facelift is “acupuncture facial rejuvenation” or “cosmetic acupuncture.” Although it is not a replacement for surgery, cosmetic acupuncture is a safe, painless, and less costly alternative for a traditional facelift.

Cosmetic acupuncture is a series of acupuncture treatments to the face, ears, neck, hands, trunk, and legs along channels (meridians) through which the life force (chi) flows. The treatments are designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve your complexion, reduce puffiness, soften deep lines and wrinkles, improve muscle tone, enhance circulation, and give your face a more relaxed, younger look.

According to this Examiner article, most acupuncture facelift treatments involve 10-15 sessions, with occasional booster sessions after that to maintain the look (grimace of pain?) you’ve achieved.
