Shari Hettesheimer is trying something she’s never done before. “I don’t mind the number of candles on my birthday cake, I just don’t want to look or feel it,” laughs Shari. She is blessed with a great complexion, but she still would like to smooth some of the lines that 60-years have created.

 

 

“I have friends who have had the Botox injections and I hadn’t convinced myself that was the way to go,” said Shari.

 

 

Instead — she’s trying acupuncture.

 

 

“Acupuncture isn’t about putting needles in the body, it’s about doing something,” says Jennifer Walther-Liu, acupuncturist at Tri-Health Pavilion Spa and Integrative Health and Medicine Center.

 

 

Jennifer says acupuncture, often used on the body, can also help frown lines, crows feet and that tell-tale furrow between the brows. She says it also helps sagging skin, facial discoloration, even acne.

 

 

“Everyone including myself has just been blown away,” admits Jennifer.

 

 

During the procedure, Jennifer doesn’t only put acupuncture needles around Shari’s face. She covers her entire body — head to toe.

 

 

“If things are not well inside of us, it will reflect outwardly,” explains Jennifer.

 

 

She says the needles contain no medication. They are instead designed to increase circulation.

 

 

Help the body — and she says it will show up on the face.

 

 

She takes about ten minutes for the acupuncture application, then lets Shari rest for 20.

 

 

5 weeks and ten treatments later, we catch up with Shari again at her home in Symmes Township.

 

 

“A friend of mine who sells cosmetics, she kept looking at me and said, “what have you done to yourself?,” she said.

 

 

Shari admits she’s thrilled with the results.

 

 

“I had this permanent, perpetual scowl on my face and it’s gone. A lot of the lines on my face, around my lips and my eyes have either diminished or gone away totally.”

 

 

Shari also says she needs less moisturizer because her skin isn’t as dry.

 

 

But the best part for Shari was not her beauty, but her health.

 

 

“Most of my life, as long as I can remember, I have suffered from headaches from the dull, nagging to the full-blown migraine. Since the second treatment, I haven’t had a headache at all. And for me, that is wonderful!

 

If you try an Acufacial, you’ll go two times a week for five weeks. Typically the cost is around $2,000.

 

Jennifer said the results will last between one and three years.

 

Compare that to Botox, which is between $250 and $500 depending on where you go. Botox will last between four to six months.
