Ndizamile I-Cosmetic Acupuncture ukuze ndibone ukuba yeyiphi na le nkqubo yokuLwa nokuguga

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Njengoko ndandilele esitulweni esitofotofo kwaye ndijonge eludongeni lwegumbi elipeyintwe ngeturquoise, ndizama ukuphumla, kumbono wam osecaleni ndabona ishumi elinesibini lenaliti ezincinci ziphuma ebusweni bam. Freaky!Mhlawumbi ndingabeka imaski yamehlo, Ndicinge.

Endaweni yokuba ndithathe i-selfie ukuze ndibone ukuba ukufumana i-cosmetic acupuncture kujongeka kanjani njengentloko. Ndathumela ifoto kumyeni wam, owaphendula wathi, "UYAJONGA AMAZWI!"

Mhlawumbi uqhelene nonyango lwe-acupuncture kwiintlungu, iingxaki zokulala, imiba yokugaya ukutya, kunye nokunciphisa umzimba. Kodwa i-cosmetic acupuncture yahlukile kuba ibanga ukuba iphucule inkangeleko yemigca elungileyo, imibimbi namabala amnyama. Kunye nosaziwayo abanjengoKim Kardashian noGwyneth Paltrow bethetha inkqubo ye "acu-face-lift" kumajelo eendaba ezentlalo, ndiye ndanomdla ngakumbi kule ndlela ipheleleyo yokulwa ukuguga (akukho tyando, akukho khemikhali).

Ndisoloko ndinomdla wokugqibela ngempilo kunye nobuhle bendalo, kwaye ndiziva ndazi kakuhle ngemibimbi okoko ndajika i-30, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiyinike ipun-pun engacetywanga. Bendifuna ukubona ukuba le nkqubo imalunga nantoni na kwaye ndibone ukuba ingaba le iya kuba yindlela yam yokulwa imibimbi yebunzi kunye neenyawo zonomyayi njengoko ndisiya ndikhula.

"I-acu-face-lift yiBotox yendalo," utshilo ugqirha wam ngoncumo xa eqala ukubeka iinaliti ebusweni bam ngesantya sombane.

Ngokwendalo okanye akunjalo, iinaliti ziseziinaliti, nokuba zibhityile njengomsonto weenwele. Iinaliti azihlali zindikhupha, kodwa ukwazi ukuba ezi zaziza ebusweni bam kwandenza ndanovalo ekuqaleni. Kodwa enyanisweni, i-selfie yayijongeka imbi kakhulu kunenkqubo ebivakalelwa.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuba unethemba lokufezekisa ntoni nge-acupuncture, inkqubo iyafana: Iinaliti zifakwe esikhumbeni kwiindawo ezithile emzimbeni apho amandla abalulekileyo kuthiwa ahamba, abizwa ngokuba yi-meridians, ukuphucula ukujikeleza, ukukhulula amandla "anamathele", kwaye uncede umzimba ukuba uvuseleleke, utshilo uJosh Nerenberg, umnini kunye nogonyo kwi-San Diego Cosmetic Acupuncture. Kwindlela yokuthambisa, umbono kukubeka iinaliti ezijikeleze ubuso kwindawo zoxinzelelo ukukhupha umothuko omncinci, oza kuphendulwa ngumzimba ukuze uphilise, utshilo uNerenberg.

Lo monakalo mncinci wenziwe kwi-dermis kukholelwa ukuba ukhuthaza ulusu ngokwalo iindlela zokuvuselela ukukhula kweseli, ethi inyuse imveliso ye-collagen kunye ne-elastin. I-collagen engakumbi kunye ne-elasticity ebusweni ilingana nemibimbi embalwa kwaye igudile, ulusu olunethoni ngakumbi. Cinga ngenkqubo efana nendlela owenza ngayo ii-micro-tears kwi-fiber muscles ukusuka kwi-exercise. Imizimba yakho iyasabela kolu qeqesho lutsha loqeqesho lwamandla ngokulungisa nokwakha izihlunu ezisebenzele ukuphola kwaye zibuye zibuye zikhule kwaye zomelele.

Nje ukuba iinaliti zibekwe ebusweni bam, kunye neendawo ezimbalwa ezijikeleze umzimba wam "ukuzola nokucoca ezinye iimeridiya," ndalala cwaka imizuzu engama-30. Lakuba ixesha lam liphelile, iinaliti zakhutshwa ngokukhawuleza kwaye unyango lwam lugqityiwe.

Ngokuthelekisekayo xa sithetha neBotox okanye ezinye ii-injeksi, i-cosmetic acupuncture ayifaki nantoni na engaphandle emzimbeni kwaye ikholelwa ekubeni endaweni yoko ivuselela izibonelelo zendalo zomzimba ukulungisa iimpawu zokuguga. Kwakhona kuthiwa kukhokelela kuphuculo oluthe ngcembe, lwendalo xa kuthelekiswa neenkqubo ezihlaselayo. (Oku akuthethi ukuba iBotox ayiphili ngokudibana nokuguga okanye ezinye izibonelelo.)

I-acupuncturist yam indixelela ukuba inkqubo ye-acu-face-lift eqhelekileyo ziiseshoni ezingama-24, kunye nophuculo olubonakalayo oluqatshelwe malunga nonyango lwe-10, kwaye iziphumo zihlala iminyaka emithathu ukuya kwemihlanu. Kodwa iindleko azikho zitshiphu: Amaxabiso ayahluka, kodwa kunyango lwe-carte kwi-acupuncturist endwendwele uluhlu ukusuka kwi- $ 130 kwiseshoni enye, ukuya kuthi ga kwi-1,900 yeedola kwiphakheji yonyango engama-24. Ukubona iziphumo ngokukhawuleza, ii-cosmetic acupuncturists zibonelela ngeenkqubo zokongeza ezongezelelekileyo ezandisa ukusebenza kwe-acu-face-lift, kubandakanya i-microneedling kunye ne-nano needling.

Kodwa ngaba iindleko zifanelekile? Ngaba i-cosmetic acupuncture iyasebenza? Ngelixa abanye abafazi befunga ngokusebenza kwayo, ubungqina abukho nje okwangoku. Ngelixa olunye uphononongo lufumanise ukuba i-cosmetic acupuncture "ibonisa iziphumo ezithembisayo njengonyango lokuthamba kobuso," kufuneka kwenziwe uphando oluninzi ukusinika ubungqina obungcono besayensi malunga nokuba inkqubo isebenza njani kwizicwili zobuso.

Abaxhasi bakholelwa ukuba i-cosmetic acupuncture ikwavelisa ukuphumla kwiimisipha zobuso ezihlala zihlala zixakekile kwihlabathi lethu loxinzelelo oluphezulu, kubandakanya imihlathi eqinisiweyo kunye noxinzelelo lwebunzi. (Idibeneyo: NdineBotox Emhlathini wam woNcedo loxinzelelo)

Kodwa ukuthatha kwam? Okubangela umdla kukuba, ndaziva ngathi ndiyakhazimla xa ndiphuma kwi-acupuncturist ngaloo mini. Ndizive ndincinci uhlobo lwe-zen endilifumanayo emva kokuthanjiswa okanye ukucamngca-kodwa andinalo nofifi lokuba ingaba loo nto ingabalelwa kwi-acupuncture okanye loo nto yokuba bendilele isiqingatha seyure phakathi kwemini. .

Bendingalindelanga ukubona umohluko okhonkxiweyo ebusweni bam emva kweseshoni enye, ke kunzima ukuthi nokuba iiseshoni ezininzi ziya kukhokelela kunciphiso lwemigca emihle, kodwa ndifumene amava ukuba akabi buhlungu, aphumle ngandlela ithile. Unyango endiya kucinga ngokulwenza kwakhona. Ukuba kunciphisa ukubonakala kwemibimbi, kulungile. Kodwa nokuba indinika ixesha lokuba ndedwa kusanda ngokwam, ndingenile.
