Can acupuncture help with aging?!

So they say. I am a true believer in acupuncture and I get it on a weekly basis and have done so for as long as I can remember. I have also read all about how they say it can lessen crows feet and lines on the forehead and I've been receiving treatment for it and it hasn't done diddlysquat for mine. I cannot use botox because of a medical condition I have so that is completely out of the question for me but now there is this new stuff called "Juvederm" that is a hyaluronic acid based gel that they can use to fill the lines and also to "plump" the lips. I have already made an appointment to have my lips done but the plastic surgeon said I don't' have bad enough lines my face for the procedure yet. I'll have to tell you after I get it done how it looks I gave the acupuncture plenty of time (actually years) to work and it didn't. I'm unhappy with a "frown" line that I have and they told me that the acupuncture over time would reduce it and it hasn't. I'm still working with the plastic surgeon to get him to fill it in with the Juvederm. I've never had any type of plastic surgery but don't have a problem with it either. I'm still going to continue with the acupuncture because I do it for pain control and relaxation.

Cosmetic Acupuncture or Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture are becoming more popular as natural alternatives to Botox treatments for wrinkles.

Acupuncture can help; however, a sequence of treatments are needed to achieve the desired result. Maintenance treatments every few months are also advisable.
