Some health and beauty practitioners are starting to look back to one of the largest and best-recorded beauty systems, that of the ancient Chinese. Some of the “new” trends use common techniques of the ancient orient, including jade rolling and skin needling.
Skin Needling - The original form of skin needling was acupuncture, which was first used for facial rejuvenation during the Shui dynasty between 581 and 618 AD. Following this, a variety of skin needling tools were invented for both health and beauty (the two were rarely separated in ancient Chinese culture). One of the earliest was the dermal hammer or seven-star needle, which contained seven tiny needles and was used for treating scars and blackheads among other beauty concerns (very similar in design and use to the modern dermal stamp). Around the same time, Chinese practitioners were, also treating hair loss with what can only be described as an early precursor to the dermal roller.

| Ancient Chinese beauty techniques have been proven safe and effective by thousands of years use. Jade rollers have been found in tombs dating back to the 12th century Jade Rolling - Simple and gentle, the jade head is rolled over the skin to promote movement of lymphatic fluid, which helps relieve fluid retention around the face and reduce swelling. The technique is particularly effective for relieving bags under the eyes and reducing sinus congestion. When used on the throat the reduction of fluid in this area helps to tighten the appearance of the skin. |

| With so much buzz around skin needling, or collagen induction therapy, in the last few years, few people realise how much these techniques owe to Chinese culture. |
