Here at Boomerful.com, we love finding out about new ways to enhance and maintain health and beauty. We received a press release the other day about Denver-based Acupuncturist and Cosmetic Acupuncture Expert Martha Lucas, Ph.D., L.Ac., whose website is www.acupuncturewoman.com. She was recently featured in an article in The New York Times Style section about the growing interest that women have in healthy, non-invasive cosmetic techniques and natural alternatives for tackling wrinkles and sagging.
Martha Lucas specializes in the Mei Zen system of cosmetic acupuncture that combines shallow needling techniques with Korean face and hand needles. A treatment plan from Dr. Lucas may also include herbs and special exercises.
According to Dr. Lucas, the beauty of Cosmetic Acupuncture is that "patients not only see cosmetic results but feel more healthy ... and indeed they are more healthy because that's how traditional Chinese medicine works. It is about anti-aging, staying healthy, preventing the conditions that come with aging. Chinese Medicine is the true anti-aging medicine."
I have had needles inserted into my face to make me look younger, but those needles were filled with Restylane, to fill in small creases. Makes me wonder if I needed the injections – maybe all I needed was the needle!
Let's hear from you! Have you ever had acupuncture? Would you visit a cosmetic acupuncture expert?
