Facial rejuvenation acupuncture and botox recommendations
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!!
