Scientific Proof to How your Body react to Acupuncture - Facial Tightening

Regular sessions of Acupuncture can achieve facial skin tightening effect, resulting in smaller face, defined jaw lines, reduced wrinkles and eyebags and so much more.

 The use of acupuncture for cosmetic purposes has gained popularity worldwide. And some even say it can replace Botox and fillers.

For me I have no ee with using Botox and fllers but my patients have reflected the vast number of side effects that can result from frequent injection of chemicals into the face. Some of the side effects are migraine, mild fever and even loss of teeth!

So in this post, I am only focusing on facial tightening effect but of course the effect of cosmetic acupuncture spans more than that and I will touch on them in times to come! I believe acupuncture is the way to go if you want to achieve the aesthetic tightening effect for the face without looking too ‘plasticky’ and unnatural.

Below are the scientific proofs to using acupuncture for facial tightening:
