Dr. Yang on New York Times: Stick-It-To-Me

(Dr. Jingduan Yang was featured on a recent interview by T Magazine of New York Times)

"I didn't think I was a good candidate for facial acupuncture. … when I heard there was a kind man in Midtown who would listen to my problems (but not judge me), calm me down (without meds) and erase my fine lines (without toxins or fillers), all in under an hour, I snagged the first available appointment. The designer Norma Kamali (who is 66 but looks more like 46) turned me on to Dr. Jingduan Yang."

Holistic Beauty By Alicia Vitarelli

May 14, 2013 (WPVI) -- How does this sound? Shave at least five years off of your face without ever going under the knife? No surgery, no injections, no chemicals, no down time. We found two holistic treatments promising to make you look and feel younger the all natural way.

"I think my face looks better subtly," says Ruth Ann Dubb of Center City. "People will say, 'You look eally good.'" Dubb is choosing holistic needles over injection treatments or surgery."I wouldn't think of cutting my face or getting a Botox injection," she says. "This is a wonderful alternative because it's about health."

At the Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine at Jefferson University Hospital, Dr. Jingduan Yang, the Director or Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, is tapping into the basic principles of acupuncture to restore a youthful glow, on the spot.

"I always tell my patients that when they come in for health lift, I give them a face lift as a bonus," he laughs.

"Do you know what I see? I see a refreshment," says patient Lee Ducat. Dr. Yang strategically places each needle, stimulating collagen reproduction and smoothing fine lines."It lifts the face, tightens the muscles," he says. Dubb says the tiny needles only pinch a bit."Once they are in it's very relaxing," she says.

Here's the health bonus: Each facial acupuncture point also opens the energy channels to key internal organs like the liver, spleen and kidneys. "Your face is really a reflection of your health, so beauty is not superficial," Dr. Yang says.
