People who want to look younger but dont want surgery or injections are taking advantage of a new non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that uses small electrical impulses to stimulate the collagen production of the skin, dramatically reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin tone

Oakland, CA (PRWEB) April 17, 2005 -- People who want to look younger but dont want surgery or injections are taking advantage of a new non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that uses small electrical impulses to stimulate the collagen production of the skin, dramatically reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin tone.

Vibrational Beauty Therapy (VBT) is safe and relaxing, and there is no recovery time. VBT uses the latest in microcurrent technology to restore the skins tone by increasing circulation, detoxifying, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and increasing hydration and nourishment.

My patients love it," says Sara Rankin, a licensed acupuncturist and owner of Alma Acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation Center in Oakland. No needles, no fillers, just a soothing one-hour facial massage using microcurrent technology. After only one treatment my patients notice a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and an increase in the tone of their skin. Their skin immediately looks more radiant and feels softer." Rankin sees patients at her Piedmont Avenue office for both the recommended ten-treatment course of VBT and for periodic touch-ups. Theres no bruising or reddening," Rankin says. People can go right back to work, and theyll look as if theyve taken a refreshing nap."

At first I was skeptical, but after only one treatment, my face feels and looks smoother. Ive noticed a decrease in the fine lines around my eyes and could see a definite improvement along my jaw line. The treatment was very relaxing, and immediately afterwards, my skin had a very healthy glow," says Kate a 48 year-old patient from Oakland.

During a session, Rankin applies a facial gel and gently massages acupuncture points with low-level electrical currents. The treatment also includes a special mud mask and a plant-based collagen lotion which is massaged deep into the skin with microcurrents.

According to Rankin, "the electrical stimulation promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer muscles and glowing skin.

Some of my patients use VBT to reduce wrinkles and repair damaged skin; others use it preventively to keep their skin looking healthy."

Rankin recommends a series of 10-12 treatments for optimal results, and to sustain effects long-term monthly touch-up treatments are recommended.

There are non-cosmetic uses for VBT as well, notes Rankin. Microcurrent is used by acupuncturists to treat back pain, migraines, Bells Palsy and sinusitis."

Alma Acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation Center is located at 3382 Piedmont Avenue, Oakland, CA 94611. To learn more about VBT, contact Sara Rankin at (510) 593-7514 or visit www.almaacupuncture.com.
