The difference acupuncture facelift and facelift surgery is that the first is a holistic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine tells us that when the whole body is healthy, it will show in the face. When the flow of energy or qi (pronounced as chi) is obstructed in the body, it takes a toll on the person’s health making a person look tired and in many cases make a person look tired.

During acupuncture, the over-all flow of energy or qi is improved which causes a feeling of well-being. When a person feels good inside, it will radiate in their face giving them natural facelift.
