Acugems, Gemstone Facial Treatment
Gemstones have been used by various cultures for healing for millennia but now the Acugems Facial Rejuve treatment throws a modern twist on this ancient therapy. The therapy involves the use of gemstones, microcurrents and therapeutic light to re-educate facial muscles, encourage collagen production, smooth wrinkles and improve skin tone. The stones and color frequencies used depend on the individual consumer. Tourmaline is frequently used in the treatments because of its ability to maintain a positive charge on one end and a negative one on the other.It takes a number of treatments to see lasting results. The Revive You spa in Stoneham, Massachusetts which offers the treatments suggests a set of 10 treatments which sells for $2,550. Their version of the treatment also includes a custom mask, exfoliating fruit enzyme, pore cleansing and brow design. Reporter Amy Saltzman of the Stoneham Sun tested out the treatment and describes the sensation of the Acutrone machine as a sharp tingle which is not painful. She found the treatment quite relaxing.

Funny that you should spot that little puff piece in a weekly suburban newspaper. I just sent Amy Saltzman an e-mail yesterday about how uncritically her piece treated the spa owner's claims about "therapeutic light frequencies" from gemstones.
Let's face it: that sounds like a bunch of bunkum. Similar "microcurrent stimulation facelift" treatments without the gems cost about half as much as these pricey treatments.
