Acupuncture for Facelift has anyone?

RACALAMB2 — Sat, 13 Feb 2016 01:14:55 GMT

My doctor asked me if I wanted to try this? He said you do it 8 times, once a week. It will change tightness,sagging ,texture and over all appearance. He wants you to use the skin care that comes with the treatments,this is included in the price.

He is asking $275.00 but going forward it will be $1500.00. He's offering his customers this offer before he rolls it out in his practice.

Has anyone ever had this done? Thanks for any feedback!

Is there an acupuncturist in your town who already has degree/certification and experience in this procedure? I would probably be a little leery of someone still getting his qualifications, especially when it comes to something for my face!

Extremely sketchy. I would run, not walk, away from this quackery. I don't think acupuncture has been proven to give results anywhere near a facelift. Find a reputable dermatologist or plastic surgeon and forget this charlatan.

That would be a definite no go for me. He only has an undergrad degree right now and is selling something like this? Anytime I have anything done, I hunt for the most qualified specialist in his category to do this. This sounds like some kind of a "trial." Nbody's ever heard of it. Don't be a guinea pig!

I haven't heard of acupuncture for facelift. I would NOT be interested. Just me!

I sometimes go to Sarasota Fl. There are several acupuncturists that do this and have seen some good befores and afters with the acupuncture.

It is not uncommon to have a practitioner (my massage person did it with some new techniques she had just finished courses on ) to offer such pricing pre-roll out to the general public.

Truthfully , if he is offering $275 for 8 treatments, I'd jump on it and be sure to take B/A pics to see if it is worth it to continue. The ones I saw were quite nice. Not a surgical facelift, but certainly looked more refreshed and toned in the eye, 11's, and jowl/cheek areas.These were no spring chickens either. Maybe early 50's?

The pricing in FL is like $1200-$1400 for 10 sessions, FYI. You probably waste atleast $275 on creams that do nothing. JMO
