What is Cosmetic Acupuncture? Â Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles designed to be used only for face, into the groups of designated acupuncture points on the face & body where needed.
While modern technology has enabled us to use surgery and Botox (injecting botulinum toxin into facial muscles) to look younger, my only question is what are these people going to do 5 years down the road? Before you schedule an appointment for Botox, you might want to know a little more about it.
Botox uses the substance that causes botulism, a sometimes fatal form of food poisoning. Botox interrupts nerve impulses to muscles in the face. The crow’s feet that appear when you squint, the lines that furrow your brow when you raise your eyebrows and the creases between the eyebrows when you frown can be caused by tension in underlying muscles, which contract the skin. Botox keeps this from happening temporarily.
