Facelifts with electric acupuncture
How some practioners are using small electric shocks, using the acupuncture merdians, for facelifts:
"The ELR technique is new in that it combines the minute electrical current with light beams that simultaneously treat the skin.
The agent of change is the Acutron Mentor, a Star Trek-looking device with a small screen, two wands and numerous knobs, developed by Phoenix acupuncturist Darren Starwynn.
The idea is that the micro-current, said to match the strength of the body's own electrical charge, stimulates production of collagen and elastin, the stuff that keeps skin pretty and diminishes with age.
The light therapy stirs specific reactions in the cells. Blue-light therapy, for example, has been shown to produce a substance deadly to bacteria that cause acne, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Other types of light allow cells to absorb water or aid in the production of collagen and elastin.
Acupuncture has been acknowledged even by Western medicine as a valid treatment for pain, nausea, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, carpel tunnel syndrome, asthma and many other health problems.
The treatment points are located along a system of "meridians" that acupuncturists visualize as a sort of fiber-optic network.
Starwynn's Acutron does the same thing as the needles. It is just newer technology, acupuncturists say.
Its face-lifting benefits were first noticed by a Florida acupuncturist who used it to treat a patient with Bell's palsy, a condition characterized by facial paralysis. After several treatments, the patient's face became youthful.
Starwynn researched the effect, and developed a protocol for Acutron face lifts, adding the light treatment to extend the duration of the face lift, which varies among individuals.
Results like Koch's are immediately visible. A series of 12 to 18 treatments may be required for lasting results, Marmor said."
