I was so disappointed in this book! It is the most poorly written book I have ever read, which turned me off from the beginning. It doesn't give the reader confidence in the practitioner if he is unable to clearly express his ideas. Of its short 44 pages of information- not including bibliography and so on- 12 pages(more than a quarter of the book!) were focused on anesthesia acupuncture. While that's interesting in its own right, I didn't buy this book to learn about anesthetic properties of acupuncture. Of the less than 20 pages dedicated to the actual practice of facial acupuncture, the information was fairly useful. But I was so irritated with the content and writing by then that I barely cared how good Dr. Adkins' information was. I sadly found this book a waste of money.

I consider myself very fortunate to have read this book..As a member of KOMD(Korea Orient Medicine Doctor)I read and learned many books related with acupuncture skills. But this book is the best . This book presents very elegant patterns of treatment based upon a profound ancient text combined with decades of clinical expertise, reflection and refinement. The nature of facial rejubanating acupuncture and the treatments discussed is such that it may take effect within few days..I was endebted to this author Paul Adkins for sharing that acu-skills and enriching proud tradition...

This is an excellent guide to cosmetic acupuncture mainly made for acupuncturists. This is good enough to get your feet wet at first. Interestingly enough it caught my attention when it mentions the utilization of electro-stimulation in facial acupuncture. Compared to other seminars I have received, it is much cheaper in terms of cost. I do expect from the author, Paul Adkins, Lac, an extensive version of cosmetic acupuncture book in the future though. It will tell you which kind of needles to be used, what gauge, what cream, point locations, necessary document templates, duration of treatment time, graphics showing point locations and application of needles in total of 61 pages. If I might add, it will be good to include herbal formulas. Overall, it is compact and well thought out book.

Another reference for a specialized technique. Try to see a copy before you buy, and make sure it's what you're looking for.

Very simple, useful, and well-dieted book!!
To learn the facial enhancement acupuncture, read this book at least three
times.
