Acupuncture has always been known for its pain relieving properties, now acupuncture is widely used in China to prevent wrinkles also. Proponents say regular treatments can stimulate the flow of blood and energy through the skin and delay the signs of aging. By inserting needles in the face, acupuncturists believe they can help stimulate the body's healing energy and prevent wrinkles from appearing. The needles are suppose to help facial cells hold water, oxygen, and nutrients, giving the face a fuller and firmer look.
