Concubines seem to have all the good tricks.

During the Sung Dynasty (that's 960-1270 AD), the Chinese?in the interest of their emperor's happiness?used acupuncture to maintain the physical and emotional beauty of concubines.

Today, by treating internal imbalances that lead to aging (like insomnia or hormonal imbalances), acupuncture continues to help restore beauty from the inside out.

To reduce the signs of aging, VJD acupuncturist Aimee Raupp suggests combining a regimen of the hair-thin needles (smaller than Botox!) with herbs (Goji berries, black sesame seeds) and lifestyle modifications (doing daily facial massage, eating pomegranates). Together, this trifecta can rebalance facial circulation and rid your body of harmful, wrinkle-inducing toxins.

Care to say goodbye to the likes of under-eye bags and a slack jawline?

Look for an acupuncturist trained specifically in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. Ninety-minute sessions range from $150 - $250. Aimee typically recommends weekly visits over a 10-week period.
