Top 5 Reasons to Avoid Botox & Plastic Surgery


Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Is Better Than Botox or Cosmetic Surgery:

1. Acupuncture is Safe and Effective.
Acupuncture has been used safely and effectively for thousands of years to enhance beauty naturally. Unlike other procedures, there is no risk of side effects, contamination or disfigurement. Treatments are effective in reducing age lines and sagging skin, and revitalizing your complexion and face. Other possible effects include moisturizing the skin, improving circulation to the face, increasing muscle tone and brightening the eyes.

Helps reduce bags under the eyes and decreases tendency toward sagging and jowls
Helps eliminate puffiness by improving circulation and metabolism, thus eliminating excess fluids

NOTE: Due to safety precautions, Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatments may not be administered during pregnancy, or for people with pituitary disorders, diabetes, cancer or other serious health conditions.

2. It’s Much More Affordable.
Costs of cosmetic surgery range from $6,000-$12,000 per procedure and Botox is about $200 per injection site. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture costs just $150 per treatment and which includes all sites. And you can purchase a series of treatments for a reduced rate.

3. Little to No Recovery Time Involved.
Cosmetic surgery may involve swelling, bruising, and long recovery times, depending on the procedure. With facial rejuvenation treatments, only minor bruising may occur, but usually resolves within several days.


4. It’s Virtually Painless.
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin and cause very little pain. In fact, the treatments are usually relaxing and promote a sense of calm.

Most patients do not consider acupuncture painful. Because the face is highly vascular, it is more sensitive than other parts of the body, and hence some sensation will be felt. However, even with needles in the face and body, treatments are most often extremely relaxing and leave patients with a sense of balance and well being.

5. Your Overall Health Will Improve.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatments are based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, and hence treat the underlying factors that contribute to the aging process. Treatments help the whole body look and feel healthier and promote well being.


Although a series of 10-12 treatments is recommended for optimal and long-lasting effects, results are usually noticeable after the first couple of treatments.
For best results treatments should be two times per week over no more then thirteen weeks.
