Cosmetic Acupuncture: The Latest Trend in Facial Rejuvenation by Alexa Petrenko Vitality Magazine , September 2004 (excerpt) Settled in on a comfortable massage table, needles start going into my feet, hands and face. Sheedy uses about 100 of them, and though I am initially apprehensive about pain, I feel none at all. The needles are tiny, and I can feel my face lifting after about 20 of them have gone into my forehead. After they're all in, I'm left alone for about half an hour... the outcome: Even more dramatic results than my first treatment. Sheedy modestly attributes this to the fact that it's my second treatment, as benefits are cumulative.
