Is There Such A Thing As A Safe Facelift?
While I personally believe that procedures attempting to halt or deny the aging process can be roadblocks to aging gracefully, facial acupuncture may be appropriate for some people. It is:
- A less invasive alternative to traditional facelifts
- A safer approach than surgery
- Free of the side effects of therapies such as Botox injections
It may also have psychological benefits – patients may feel relaxed as a side effect of facial acupuncture. With or without acupuncture, a healthy diet, smart sun exposure, exercise and stress reduction techniques are still my top recommendations for a healthy lifestyle that supports healthy aging.
