Personal Care: A "Natural" Face Lift? By Dr. Andrew Weil
Acupuncture has been touted as a less-invasive alternative to traditional facelifts. While I personally believe that procedures attempting to halt or deny the aging process can be roadblocks to aging gracefully, facial acupuncture does offer a safer approach than surgery and is free of the side effects of therapies such as Botox injections. It may also have psychological benefits - patients may feel relaxed as a side-effect of the acupuncture.
