Theoretical Aspect of Face Lifting with Acupuncture A lot of acupuncturists are doing face lifting in their practice. There is a huge market need in this aspect. Many people care a lot when they start to develop a lot of wrinkles on the face or , when their faces are not so shinning. How acupuncture can help this? What theories support this? What points should an acupuncturist choose when they are trying to help their clients? First of all, we should say it is a natural process that we develop wrinkles when we reach certain age. In Chinese medicine, it is believed that when a lady reaches the age of 35, yangming meridian will become deficient naturally. Since the yangming meridians (Stomach and large intestine meridians) travel through the face and are rich in both qi and blood, deficiency of the yangming meridians which cause loss of nourishment of the muscles, etc. on the face, this is why we develop wrinkles. So the number one is face lifting is to make qi and blood sufficient so that they can go up more to nourish face. In acupuncture treatment, you can use the yangming meridian or stomach meridian points such as ST 3, ST 4, ST 5, ST 6, ST 7, you can also use GB 14, etc. Another group of points should be those that can help generate more qi and blood such as ST 36, ST 25, SP 15, RN 4, RN 10, etc. When we have sufficient qi and blood, they can move up to the face more, then it will reduce wrinkles. Use the points that can help yang qi go to the face. Face is on the head, head is where all the yang qi merges in the body. Blood also depends on qi for its movement. So, you also need DU 20, RN 3, etc. for face lifting.
