People will try all sorts to look and feel better, even having chemicals injected into their face. But an age-old natural treatment exists that can help rejuvenate your skin along while giving other benefits such as reducing stress and promoting better sleep – cosmetic acupuncture.<\/p>\n

When I first started offering acupuncture, more than 10 years ago, for clients at Petersfield Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic<\/a><\/strong> it was as pain relief for acute and chronic pains, from tennis elbow and back pain to old injuries that wouldn\u2019t heal.<\/p>\n

But over the past 2 years, since I started practising cosmetic acupuncture, its popularity has exploded as an alternative to surgery or botox injections, mainly because it is less intrusive and can have many beneficial side effects.<\/p>\n

A short history of acupuncture<\/p>\n

Acupuncture was first recorded in Chinese medical texts around 100BC, however, the practice is likely to be much older. Chinese scholars, even back then, had a deep understanding of the body as a complete system. Acupuncture developed using the Taoist concept of energy, or Qi, channels (pronounced chi) along which life force flows. These are also known as meridians. Qi can be stimulated at particular points on the body using very fine needles.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t just use acupuncture for treating aches, pains and sports injuries now. I offer a cosmetic service<\/a><\/strong> for clients who want help to reduce wrinkles, look younger and more radiant and feel good.<\/p>\n

Compared to the alternatives, cosmetic acupuncture is a completely natural and\u00a0holistic approach to reducing lines and wrinkles as well as stress.<\/p>\n

The technique works by lifting the whole face as well as targeting specific lines and wrinkles, and\u00a0because acupuncture body\u00a0points are used, the process offers added benefits:<\/p>\n
