Can acupuncture reduce wrinkles?

Posted on Dec 16th 2007 2:00PM by Bethany Sanders
Plenty of men and women have turned to needles to slow the signs of aging (think Botox), but a method known as an acupuncture face lift or cosmetic acupuncture is drawing in customers who don't want surgery or chemicals, but are still seeking a younger look.

Facial acupuncture follows the same principles of conventional acupuncture and practitioners attempt to reduce muscle tension and unblock trapped qi that may be causing facial wrinkles. Whether it works or not has not been scientifically proven, but thanks to a growing interest in alternative treatments and youthful growing skin, the expensive treatments are gaining in popularity.

If I were to try an anti-aging procedure (and that's a very big if), I'd go for acupuncture before Botox. What about you?
