Hi brewers7!

I have been doing acupuncture for about a year now. I began rediagnosis and now post diagnosis and surgery. There are many benefits to acupuncture as it helps align the energy fields in the body. I would say that while acupuncture can treat a whole host of physical ailments, this holistic alternative works to clear certain physical ailments and pain. I would say to give it a try. You have nothing to lose by reaching for an alternative method of healing. It will help to bring into balance your physical and emotional states of being but not sure that it can "cure" facial issues.

Hope this helps.

All my best!
