Yes, I do cosmetic acupuncture. I like the way the Mei Zen presenter explains that beauty comes from within - if we feel good, we look good. Of the Youtube videos I have just looked at, this one is closest to the techniques I use

When I did the cosmetic acupuncture training, some 2 years ago, what convinced me that it was worth doing was when I looked around the classroom at the end of the second day. We had all treated each other with the newly learned cosmetic techniques, and the whole classroom of people looked different to me! They were vibrant, younger, alert and healthy looking. Usually at the end of the second day of a seminar, late on a Sunday, everyone looks jaded, tired and wanting to go home. This time, they were as bright as a collection of sparrows, chattering animately and excited about the course.
They looked rejuvenated, animated and engaged in the here and now.
That was when I relised that it was a worth while thing to do.
In China, appearance is all important - it is a status symbol. If someone has a blemish, he/she goes to the TCM doc and wants it treated.
Cosmetic acupuncture does not have the dramatic effects of a surgical face lift, but it does make you look good.
Scorpiotiger asks about neck treatment. Yes, I do that too. It works as much as it works on the face. I said before that a 70 year old face cannot be turned into a 30 year old face - that would be unnatural (as is plastic surgery) but the 70 year old will look younger, brighter and more alive after cosmetic acupuncture.
A couple fo points from the videos - one said that a treatment could be fitted in to a lunchtime -
NO. To do it properly, it should take about one hour. That is the time I allow for such a treatment
Another point in a video - it takes ten treatment to show a result. Once again
NO
The recent cosmetic treatment I did was a first session for a woman who has a pallor and puffiness to her face. After the first treatment she noticed an immediate change. So did I. Her colour had improved and there was more life and animation to be seen. She will need a few more treatments to achieve a longer lasting effect, but not ten!
