Why should I choose Cosmetic Acupuncture Rejuvenation over Botox Injections or Cosmetic Surgery?

While not a replacement for surgery, Cosmetic Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation is an excellent alternative and an intelligent choice because:

• Cost effective
• Virtually painless.
• It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery or Botox injections.
• It is safer and has no side effects or risks of disfigurement, unlike surgery or Botox.
• There is not trauma from Cosmetic Acupuncture, unlike surgery, that may have extended recovery periods with swelling, discoloration and chance of infection.
• FRA is natural, healthy, and cost effective way to look and feel years younger.

Due to Facial Rejuvenations Acupunctures increasing popularity, patients considering undergoing cosmetic surgery reconsider their surgical options. Many patients who have had cosmetic surgery find this procedure to enhance and prolong the effects of their past procedures.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is proving ever more alluring to the informed, educated and health conscious public.

While this procedure cannot reshape our facial features, it is a more subtle rejuvenation that take years off one’s face safely and naturally while improving overall health. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (FRA) treats the underlying cause of why someone is aging instead of masking the outward symptoms and allowing further decline and dysfunction to continue within the body. It allows your own beauty to come from within.

FRA is natural, healthy, and cost effective way to look and feel years younger.

For those who opt for more dramatic surgical “lifts and tucks”, patients find a decrease in recovery time, a reduction of pain and decreased scaring and adhesions with facial acupuncture. Dr. Alderman would be pleased to work with you and your cosmetic surgeon during your recovery phase.

For those that have had Botox, many find that supplemental acupuncture treatment prolongs and enhance the effects, thus reducing the need for additional costly injections.

What can I expect from Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
FRA may erase as many as 5-10 years from the face. Noticeable and lasting results can appear after six to eight treatments. Some experience noticeable change in just a few sessions, while in some exceptionally difficult cases, the course of treatment may need to be repeated. As in surgical facelifts, the actual outcomes and how long the effects last cannot be predicted. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her age, condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. For this reason, results for some may be more or less dramatic than they are for others. Following the initial course of treatment, monthly maintenance sessions can prolong the results for years. The results of cosmetic acupuncture reflect not only a change in external appearance, but also an improvement in total body wellness. This, in itself, slows down the aging process.

Experience Matters . . .
Almost a quarter of a century ago, then a young Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Licensed Acupuncturist, Dr. John Alderman introduced Cosmetic Acupuncture to the San Francisco Bay Area communities of Woodside, Los Altos Hills and Portola Valley. Dr. Alderman’s patients, who were being treated for sinus congestion, optic disorders and paralyzed muscles from Bell’s palsy or stroke, noticed a cosmetically pronounced reduction in facial wrinkles. In 1984 Dr. Alderman was honored by the State of California to co-author the states licensing Acupuncture examination. During preparation for writing the states acupuncture examination his research sparked a revitalization of his interest in the ancient specialized techniques of what we now call Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. Since 1984 Dr. Alderman has refined his treatment protocols, creating a demand for his specialized techniques.
