In the quest for youthful, radiant skin, many turn to various treatments to combat the signs of aging. Two popular options are facial rejuvenation acupuncture and Botox. The former is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles and holistic wellness, and the latter focuses on cosmetic enhancement rather than overall wellness.
While Facial rejuvenation acupuncture and Botox are both treatments aimed at reducing signs of aging, they differ significantly in their methods and effects.
Here are 3 of the most significant differences to consider:
1- Acupuncture is all-natural and non-toxic.
Botox uses a form of toxin that only addresses the superficial signs of aging. Cosmetic acupuncture uses the body's natural healing processes to improve the skin. The insertion of the acupuncture needles stimulates collagen and elastin production, and increases circulation. This results in a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, improves texture, increases firmness, and boosts overall radiance.
Side effects are minimal, with occasional bruising or slight discomfort at the needle sites.
2- Facial acupuncture prevents muscle atrophy.
Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscle and overtime this can cause atrophy and sagging. With cosmetic acupuncture, we can relax or stimulate certain muscles depending on the patients needs. You will still be able to use your facial expressions freely!
3- Acupuncture provides long-term benefits for your skin and health.
Acupuncture is an intentional, highly individualized medicine, even when applied to your facial rejuvenation treatment. Acupuncture points are chosen and inserted in a specific order to increase your overall health and wellbeing. This in turn helps the skin heal, glow and rejuvenate. You are radiating from the inside out!
