  • Hi, 

    I am a 41 year old female looking to help out my skin -- I am feeling particularly bothered by my growing forehead wrinkles. 

    I was thinking about getting botox, but saw some interesting things written about facial rejuvenation acupuncture. 

    I was interested in recommendations for excellent professionals in both spaces in the Oakland and Berkeley areas. 

    Thanks for your help!

    I just started some microneedling with Renée Boudreau at Ross Acupuncture.  
    Effects have been great and my skin already feels plumper (I'm almost 46). Plus I really appreciate the holistic approach Renée offers. Check them out -- they're doing a 3 pack promotion for August. It's not cheap, but tbh I don't think any cosmetic procedures are!

    East Bay Acupuncture is an amazing resource for acupuncture. I went there for support trying to conceive and they just recently added a cosmetic acupuncturist to their team. 

    That being said- I don't know if it would be as effective as botox or another injectable treatment.

    Many options for facial rejuvenation! Acupuncture is a great way to go because the practitioner can also support you on any internal medicine / lifestyle shifts to support your skin as well!

    Oakland - City Pulse Acupuncture, Rachel Hemphill

    Kensington - Natura - I think her name is Jane

    Berkeley - Mitchell Family Acupuncture - Britt Peterson

    If you’re willing to go t Alameda, Kathryn Black with Alameda Acupuncture is AMAZING!! She has different packages. I did the one that covers about 6 months worth of time, acupuncture and then alternating red light treatment. I could literally feel my skin tighten up. Highly recommend!!

There was a recommendation here before for an Acupuncturist for facial rejuvenation. I can't find it anymore. I would like to try it before going to Botox. Please let me know your experience with it, how it worked for you. Thank you Almost 40


For acupuncture, including Facial Rejuvenation I recommend Andy Seplow. He has an office in Berkeley and also works out of the Claremont Spa. His number at his office is 510 604-5518 and at the Claremont 510 843-3000 - Spa reservations. He is wonderful! A big fan of acupuncture

Have anyone tryed Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture? If so how did you like it? Do you have any recomentation of a good acupuncturist in the eastbay? Thank you afraid of botox


Sara Rankin, LAC in Oakland does facial rejuvenation accupuncture. 3382 Piedmont Ave, 510 593-7514. She does demonstrations of her work at the Elephant Pharmacy - that would be a way to check it out. I've only gone to her for regular acupuncture (which has been great), so I can't comment on the rejuvenation treatments. Good luck. Melanie
