Better Than Botox?

The verdict is in - facial rejuvenation with acupuncture really works!!! After some uncertainity of how effective the well publicized "acupuncture facelift" was, I witnessed first-hand what I now call miraculous results from the very first treatment!

In January of this year I took a continuing education 16 hour weekend workshop in where I became certified in acupuncture facial rejuvenation, open only to licensed acupuncturists. My interest in the treatment stemmed from the tremendous growth in cosmetic procedures ranging from botox and laser treatments to surgeries lasting as long as a work day within the last five years alone. I wanted to provide a safe, affordable and relatively pain free alternative to all the botox and some of the nipping and tucking that's going on. Acupuncture can lift saggy jowls, clear up dark and puffy eye circles, eliminate fine lines, help diminish deep lines, tighten up pores and more.

It is common to look like you've been on vacation after the first session but by the 7th there is a marked improvement - you will look up to ten years younger and everyone will notice! 10 to 15 sessions are suggested for best results and each session lasts any where between 60 - 90 minutes. Acupuncture points on the body and in the ear are first needled to help support the facial treatment and points on the head and face are chosen according to what you want tucked, lifted and smoothed out.
