Acupuncture helps graceful aging

Let's face it: All of us are growing older. As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and begins to sag. We wake up one morning and, alas, a wrinkle or two appears. Skin ages all over the body, but much more so when there has been sun exposure. Changes brought on by sun damage, also known as photo aging, include dryness, sagging, skin growths such as "liver spots” and wrinkles. Factors that promote wrinkling include smoking, skin type, heredity and occupational and recreational sun exposure over the course of many years.
