Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural and holistic approach to rejuvenating the skin and reducing the signs of aging. By stimulating specific acupuncture points on the face and body, this ancient practice promotes increased blood flow, collagen production, and muscle tone, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion. Unlike invasive procedures, cosmetic acupuncture is non-invasive and focuses on enhancing overall health and well-being while targeting cosmetic concerns. With its growing popularity, many individuals are turning to cosmetic acupuncture as a safe and effective alternative to traditional cosmetic treatments, embracing its ability to promote beauty from the inside out.

There are several health benefits of cosmetic acupuncture, including:

  • Brightened complexion 
  • Reduced acne
  • Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduced puffiness and facial swelling
  • Improved facial muscle tone
  • Reduced jaw tension
  • Reduces skin sagging
  • Improved skin texture

What is included in the initial treatment?

During the initial treatment, facial diagnosis will be recorded to note root imbalances of the skin and constitution. Before and after photos are taken for progress reports during your course of treatment and to provide tracking proof of the changes your skin is undergoing. A treatment plan is discussed. 

Here's what to expect during your full cosmetic acupuncture session:

You will experience acupuncture for the body to communicate to the organs to send nutrients to the face, then facial acupuncture to induce collagen and elastin production. Other services such as exfoliating, gua sha, cupping, microcurrent and LED light therapy are performed to get the best results!

  1. Exfoliating: Say goodbye to dull skin as your treatment begins with a gentle exfoliation to reveal a radiant complexion.
  2. Small Facial Massage: Relax and unwind as skilled hands work to release tension and improve circulation in your face, unlocking a natural glow.
  3. Gua Sha: Experience the ancient healing technique of Gua sha as it gently sculpts and lifts your facial contours for a more youthful appearance.
  4. Cupping: Stimulate blood flow and enhance your skin's elasticity with the healing power of cupping, leaving you with a radiant and rejuvenated complexion.
  5. Microcurrent: Rejuvenate and tone your skin with microcurrent technology, promoting collagen production and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. You can learn more about microcurrent therapy here.
