What is the difference between cosmetic acupuncture versus botox? Are they even comparable? Yes and no! Since I am an acupuncturist and specialize in cosmetic acupuncture, my opinions are a bit biased of course, but I will do my best to give you the most neutral outlook! Let’s look at a few things…

Hydrojelly Masks - A Luxurious Addition to Your Cosmetic Acupuncture Session!
What is a Hydrojelly Mask?
I get this question all the time and I love these hydrojelly masks so much!
They are made with all natural plant ingredients, herbs & electrolytes and are rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium and sodium! Made primarily from kelp and seaweed (cool!), they hydrate and soothe the skin and are the perfect add-on to your cosmetic acupuncture session.
Drinking water won’t always hydrate the skin, especially if your electrolyte balance is off - these add and seal moisture into the skin and balance electrolytes! Other ingredients like oats, rice and willow bark soothe, cleanse, lightly exfoliate and astringe the face as well!

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture, also called Facial Rejuvenation, is a gentle, effective way to combat the signs of aging without surgery or injections. It boosts collagen, encourages lymph flow and increases circulation in the skin! It is not a traditional facial with extractions & peels, but involves inserting hair-thin needles into the face (facial acupuncture), facial cupping/gua sha, and massage. The result is that your face looks more like you, which these other methods don’t! It also doesn’t pump your body full of chemicals, does not paralyze the facial muscles (like Botox injections do), and you don’t have to risk surgery or long recovery times. Your face will generally look more toned, brighter, and have a more even complexion.
