Acupuncture Give a Glowing Look
Acupuncture is no longer just a medical treatment, it's also for attaining that 'zillion bucks' look.
Acupuncture clinics catering to beauty treatment are mushrooming all over.
When you look into the mirror; what is it would like to get rid of? Is it the wrinkles, the dark circles under the eyes, the pores on your cheeks, the double chin, or your dark complexion? What takes a lot of makeup to surgery, now kinds a cure in acupuncture it seems, and all this without pinching your pocket too much.
A Steady Rise
'People usually comes to treat for diabetes, psoriasis, reducing pain and anxiety, but now acupuncture is also proving to be a wonderful solution to make you look beautiful as well,' says a leading acupuncture practitioner. No wonder, acupuncture clinics catering to beauty trreatmnets are mushrooming all over. Although fewer as compared to beauty parlours and allopathic clinics, believers in this therapy are on the rise, and have gone up by at least 10 to 15 per cent recently. It is because alopathy does not have a permanenet cure. Also, there is a growing need for alternative medicine.
How Does It work
When an acupuncture practitioner inserts the tiny needles into areas of the body, this stimulates the production of collagen in the general area and the skin is supported and nourished by the body, rather than by some external appoication. The production of collagen firms the skin and stretches out any fine line. "In some cases, electric stimulation is given where the needles are inserted. But what deters most patients is the thought of needles being pierced, so now a few clinics have laser equipment, which uses beam rays at strategic points, instead of needles.
A Viable Option?
Clients for acupuncture include career-oriented women, who want to look good, in a a short time. "I had gone for allopathy treatment for blemishes, but the conditon seems to have only worsensed over time. And then, someone suggested this. Acupuncture has taken years off my face", says a female patient.
"Acupuncture can cure only underlying problems relating to the senses and nerves. Such cosmetic problems can be treatd only through chemicl peeling or high-end laser", says the practitioner.
