Purpose: Based on the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the feasibility of acupuncture delaying facial senescence was discussed. Methods: Acupuncture delaying facial senescence was demonstrated through the excavation of classical Chinese medicine theory, integrated analysis and modern research support. Results: Acupuncture promoted the balance of yin and yang of five zang-organs, promoted the filling of skin qi and blood, and adjusted the contour of skin, so as to promote the lifting and firming of the face, thus achieving the purpose of resisting senescence. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine theory lays the foundation for acupuncture cosmetology in theory, and modern research provides powerful support for acupuncture cosmetology.
