(CBS4) BOSTON It’s the latest craze for women who aren’t ready to go under the knife and don’t want to use drugs like Botox or Restalyn.

Newton acupuncturist Anna Raynus says the needles help increase blood flow and improve collagen production.

“It’s not just your face,” she said, “it’s a whole body treatment, a holistic approach to looking and feeling younger.”

Ina Viadro of Newton says she has been very happy with the results.

She says she noticed improvements after about weekly treatments.

“I started to see wrinkles diminishing, color improve, a general feeling of energy all over,” she said.

Developed in China 2,000 years ago, acupuncture is gaining acceptance by western doctors as a way to treat pain and other injuries. Using the technique for cosmetic reasons is relatively new.

“It helps with the jowls, it helps with the wrinkles, it even helps with the crows feet,” said Raynus.

Boston plastic surgeon Sheldon Sevinor isn’t buying it.

“The aging process cannot be reversed with a needle,” he said.

Dr. Sevinor has performed procedures on celebrities like Linda Evans, Meredith Viera and S"
He admits acupuncture may help temporarily smooth the skin, but people should not expect any kind of significant change.

“To give the impression that acupuncture will remove wrinkles or double chins, it just doesn’t happen in real life.”

Anna's patients say acupuncture makes them look and feel younger.

“My skin is tighter, it's smoother. It was subtle, but it’s very noticeable,” said another patient from Newton.

Reynus recommends 12 initial treatments at 150 dollars each, then periodic maintenance. A traditional facelift runs between $5,000 and $20,000.
