Wrinkle, wrinkle little star!

It’s a fact of nature; with time wine tastes better, fruit ripens, old grudges fade, and we get wrinkles! Well, what is a wrinkle?

Ever poke your finger in to a ball of dough? That elastic, springy feeling you feel is the gluten keeping the dough flexible and supple. Our skin also has the equivalent proteins that maintains the plumpness of our skin called collagen until one day, around peri-menopausal age those proteins start to diminish and the skin starts sagging and wrinkling.

What can be done? There is no shortage of creams, lotions, and anti-aging products on the market. But rebuilding collagen starts from the inside, not the outside. I encourage a facial exercise routine to maintain muscle tone and blood circulation to the face.

But if you really want to revitalize and rejuvenate your skin naturally cosmetic acupuncture is one of your best options. With the insertion of the tiny needles your body produces collagen from the inside that fills fine lines and wrinkles.

I spoke with a researcher who was working with a dermatologist in California to determine how exactly acupuncture produces collagen in the skin. While I’ll leave the details of ‘how and why’ to the laboratory experts I will continue to observe the amazing results cosmetic acupuncture produces first hand.

Remember that when you feel great, you look great!
