    Default Accupuncture face lift?

    Has anyone done an accupuncture face lift? I'm thinking about doing it. My accupuncturist said it totally works and she could recommend me to someone. It's supposed to be really painful though.

    What I like about this idea is that it's supposed to promote your own body to produce more collegen and and help with facial muscle tone. This seems like a reasonable expectation considering how well accupuncture has worked for me in other areas of my health.

    Sorry I have no information for you one way or the other, I just was curious what you use acupuncture for and how it's helped you.
    Cheers!

    I actually met a doctor this week at my club, and him and I discussed this. I have no information on it, but basing it on 3rd party say, he told me it is useless. He himself had botox, all the girls guessed he was 35 - 40, when he was 52! It looked natural too. He told me its either botox or an actual face lift thats going to be worth while.

    What kind of doctor? Ionly ask, because if it was a PS, of course most would probably discourage any alternative procedure that takes $ out of thier own pockets.

    Juliana, I had acupuncture to help regulate my hormones after being on birth control for 10 years. I was having all kinds of health issues due to messed up hormones. The worst being painful intercourse for the last 3 years! Within a month the painful intercourse went away and by the 3rd month sex was feeling good again. Not to mention I'm less tired and my skin looks better and my periods are less painful.

    As far as the Doctor telling you it was worthless... I believe most western medicine doctors would tell you that. It's what they're taught in medical school. Especially an old male doctor who would get botox. That's the kind of doctor that says exercise is ok, but liposuction is great. Besides... I don't have much faith in brain surgeons since they can't figure out what the other 90% of our brain is for. LOL!
