I learned about acupuncture facelifts from an NBC news program where I saw amazing before-and-after pictures. I found a Acupuncture physician on Craigslist [maybe that's where I went wrong] and got an appointment. The treatment session involved 5 acupuncture needles that surprisingly didn't hurt when inserted into my skin. I hate pain, so I would say it's painfree.

After 20 minutes the session ended. I felt relaxed after the treatment until I paid my $65 bill where I was told I wouldn't see results until I completed 20 or more follow-up sessions. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a shot for a package of 15 sessions. I did these sessions last year and each time I left feeling relaxed, but nothing really was changing to lift and tighten my skin. Maybe acupuncture works for others, but not at all for me. I'm back to cosmetic medicine.

I'm going to try this. I will take that advice into account when I look for an acupuncturist and will see if I can find one that really knows facial acupuncture,
