Although Dana Chun, 62, has never had Botox or anti-aging surgery, there are no visible wrinkles on her face. In fact, her 38-year-old son has more wrinkles than she does. Is Chun a Korean Benjamin Button? No, Chun is a Korean facial acupuncturist—and a testament to the effectiveness of her profession.
Twice a year Chun, who’s also a pharmacist and a doctor of oriental medicine, receives facial acupuncture, a natural anti-aging treatment that uses thin, metal needles placed strategically in the face and neck to regenerate the skin.
Wrinkles are caused by a lack of or a decrease in collagen production. When collagen and elastic fibers are unable to regenerate, your skin becomes loose and stiff.
