Looking good need not hurt much at all

Another way people are opting for painless cosmetic rejuvenation is through acupuncture. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, also known as Cosmetic Acupuncture, is a painless, non-surgical procedure that is effective in brightening and tightening the skin. Based on traditional Chinese medicine, hair-thin acupuncture needles are inserted in specific locations on the face, ears, neck, hands and feet. The disposable needles are placed in energy channels (or meridians) that either begin or end on the face, or that work to modify the energy flow (or the Qi) of a person's body. Scientifically, acupuncture brings blood and oxygen to the face, toning muscles and producing collagen.
