I can’t remember the time when a trip to the spa was not part of my monthly routine. (I know that if I don’t turn that into a more regular routine I may soon be among the unfortunate, stressed out minority.) I’ve recently noticed that at least one of the spas I frequent has started offering an acupuncture face lift procedure.

An acupuncture face lift procedure is said to rejuvenate tired skin by (HORRORS!) applying needles to certain parts of the face. Why would anyone sign up for this?

Well, consider the alternative. If your creams and potions cease to work, you may begin to consider surgery. Going under the knife is, of course, a scarier prospect for many people and they would rather endure a few minutes of pricking.

An acupuncture face lift procedure is a more intensive type of facial that supposedly not only lifts sagging skin but also aids in the overall healing of a stressed out body.

Aside from the noticeable lifting, the spa I frequent also offers acupuncture procedures that promise to add a glow to your skin. I have to remember to ask them next time if, perhaps, the “glow” is not caused by so many needles pricking your skin!

What is more attractive about the procedures I saw at my spa was the promise of less obvious bags under the eyes. Well, if my usual Retin-A and AHA creams no longer work, I would consider it… maybe.
