Acupuncture: As Good as Botox?

This would really be an awesome alternative...

Cosmetic acupuncture, a favorite among celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Madonna, is on the growing list of natural alternatives to procedures such as face-lifts and Botox and collagen injections.
Cosmetic acupuncture targets specific points on the face, with the tips of dozens of tiny needles (like standard acupuncture procedures), placed beneath the skin to stimulate blood flow as well as the production of collagen and elastin. The goal of cosmetic acupuncture is essentially to “over-stimulate” certain areas.

This holistic cosmetic process can help to fade age spots, improve fine lines, diminish deep wrinkles, even out and brighten skin tone, reduce jowls, rosacea and acne, and reduce facial puffiness.
The side effects of cosmetic acupuncture are not too shabby either.  Reducing pain, stress, symptoms of depression and anxiety, minimizing hot flashes and night sweats, and improving digestion and sleep cycles are some of the overall holistic benefits of acupuncture that are often noticed by patients who are simply seeking a natural approach to looking younger.
