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!!
