Some Say Acupuncture Can Work  As  A  Quick Facelift

Reporting   Cynthia Demos

(CBS11) ― One of the oldest medical practices in the world may now be one of the latest beauty secrets. For women who don't want to go under the knife or use drugs like Botox or Restylane, the facelift of the future actually goes back thousands of years.Acupuncture date back at least 8,000 years. Practitioners say it eases pain and cures disease. Some believe it can even restore the appearance of youth.

Celebrities have used it to treat everything from drug addiction to finding love. It's also used to fight pain. Now, many women are getting acupuncture for quick-fix facelifts.

"I'm vain. It makes me look young and pretty," said Nina Christianson.

She has been seeing acupuncturist Dr. Qiong Bai for 16 years, most recently for a kidney problem. But for the last few years she's been asking for a few extra needles in the face.

Dr. Bai says the body is divided into 14 meridians or energy channels.

He says sticking a certain point releases blood and collagen and relaxes the tension in facial muscles.

"The energy flow increase, the blood flow increases also the collagen increases," explained Bai. He also said the tiny needles help improve the texture of your skin and eliminate age spots.

Joann Ellis, 74, started seeing Bai five years ago for knee pain.

"One day he said I'm going to give you a little facelift while we're here," Ellis said. Three facial treatments and Dr. Bai said you'll see a difference.

"I think some of these lines are getting better. That's what he promises. Then I had a huge wrinkle up here and it has recessed a little bit," admitted Ellis.

"Acupuncture has no side effects, it's not invasive and it's much safer, compared with surgery," according to Dr. Bai.

Dr. Bai says you'll get maximum results after about 10 facial treatments.

COPING WITH STRESS             ( 1997  D-Magazine )

       By Dawn McMullan

Acupuncture

I decided to forgo another prescription and opted for

acupuncture with Dr. Qiong Bai. who squeezed me in

between two of his celebrity pincushion clients, Jerry Hall and

Courtney Love.  Dr. Bai explained that in Chinese medicine,

negative emotions lead to disease. Inserting tiny- they look

like little pieces of nylon fish line-needles into points along the

meridian releases blockages so toxins can enter the blood

stream.  He started with my ears-stick, tap-tap-lap, around

my jaw, temples, ears, and chin. I tingled  and twitched with

little jolts-my chi (energy) started to flow. When he finally

pulled the needles out, I sat up, opening and closing my

mouth. Amazing. I had no pain in my jaw. Going home, I

caught myself singing, "Hey, hey we’re the Monkees" in

bumper-to-bumper traffic-mouth wide open.

FINDING AN END TO THE PAIN    (  1997   D-Magazine  )

By Sara Peterson

I decide to try acupuncture first. I have a long-distance

relationship with the  practice -I know a little bit about it

through a friend of a friend of a friend,  The practice falls

under the can’t-hurt-could-help category, so I figure it’s

worth a shot.I choose Dr. Qiong Bai in North Dallas. His clinic

looks like a regular physician’s-stark white walls, mounted

degrees, an occasional  potted plant-except that it has tall

posters of bodies with their meridian points labeled. During

my first visit, my back muscles are killing me. I crawl up on

the examining table, lie on my stomach, and rest my head on

the  donut-shaped pillow. Bai feels my neck and back

muscles, looking for tight spots, and when he finds one, he

sticks it with a needle. I had heard that you couldn’t feel

acupuncture needles-not true. I definitely know all 15 needles

are pricked in my skin, even with Yanni playing in the

background. Every 10 minutes, Bai gently jiggles the needles

and tiny electric tingles spread through my muscles. This is

the rebalancing ol’ my chi, he explains, the inner energy that

keeps me healthy when flowing properly. After half an hour,

he takes the needles out and gives me an acupressure

massage with a towel soaked in tiger balm. It feels and

smells like Icy Hot. and he rubs it into my back quickly. When

I leave, I feel loose, carefree, a little light in the head. The

tiny tingles continue until late that night-chi inertia I guess.

But my back pain has subsided, temporarily at least, and I’m

not complaining.
