I had to write to say how wonderful the Facercise program really is. I’m a 37 year old single woman who has lost 10 years off her face thanks to Carole Maggio! When I first purchased her book I didn’t think it was possible to realize these results, but thankfully — time has proven me wrong! The exercises are easy to do and very portable. When I travel, I just bring along my “Walkman” and do them in my hotel room or where ever I’m staying.

This comprehensive guide to nonsurgical cosmetic facial procedures covers botox injections, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, laser hair removal, and collagen injections. Each procedure is analyzed in terms of intended results, ideal candidates, details of the procedures, anesthetics, and follow-up care. Before and after photographs illustrate the medical descriptions and vividly show the dramatic changes.

I had never heard of these cosmetic procedures except for botox. I never considered any kind of plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure because I’ve seen those women with their stretched-looking smiles after face lifts. I knew a few people who have had botox and I thought they were nuts. This book is clear and understandable and separates fact from fiction with no nonsense. Starting today I’m saving my pennies!

Drawing upon her more than thirty years of experience and expertise, “Ancient Secrets Of Facial Rejuvenation: A Holistic, Nonsurgical Approach to Youth & Well-Being” by Victoria J. Mogilner (a certified acupuncturist, Chinese medicine practitioner, aesthetician, and tai chi instructor) presents a holistic alternative to caring for the skin without the use of chemical and surgical procedures. Advocating the use of facial acupuncture to counteract the signs of aging and which takes only a few minutes each day in the form of an ‘Acupuncture Facelift’ process that involves lightly pressing certain points on the face, “Ancient Secrets Of Facial Rejuvenation” also features strategies for attaining outer beauty and inner beauty through health nutrition, essential oils and aromatherapy, tai chi, qigong, and self-massage. A welcome addition to Alternative Medicine reference collections, “Ancient Secrets Of Facial Rejuvenation” is especially recommended reading for anyone concerned with rejuvenating their facial skin without resorting to plastic surgery.
