Facial Acupuncture

Find your glow from within; facial acupuncture targets common skin worries such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity and muscle tone, and scarring.



Facial acupuncture combines the benefits of both facial and body acupuncture to promote a radiant, youthful appearance while enhancing overall health. This treatment encourages healthy facial expression and supple skin by increasing blood flow and Qi (energy) to the face, while toning facial muscles, smoothing out fine lines, and promoting collagen and elastin production.  While visible results can often be seen after the first session, more lasting effects typically require multiple visits.

In addition to facial rejuvenation, this dual approach also addresses underlying health issues while promoting balance throughout the body and mind. The treatment includes LED light therapy, which further enhances the revitalizing effects, leaving you with a natural “lit from within” glow—what Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to as vitality. Facial acupuncture works behind the scenes between treatments to continue supporting your skin and body’s natural healing processes, ensuring long-term benefits.

conditions treated

coverage

Facial acupuncture uses extra-thin, silicon-coated needles (even thinner than traditional acupuncture to reduce discomfort and prevent potential bruising) inserted just below the skin’s surface to stimulate or sedate the motor points of your facial muscles. Stimulation helps to improve muscle tone (tightening and lifting), while sedating overactive muscles that can cause wrinkles and tension helps alleviate skin concerns like frown lines or crow’s feet (relaxing and smoothing). 

In addition to acupuncture points targeting your individual skin concerns and boosting overall circulation and skin health for that refreshed glow, an optional LED light can be used to enhance the treatment and promote collagen production.

Post-session

At a cosmetic acupuncture appointment, your practitioner will discuss your main skin concerns, ask questions about your health, and visually assess the skin to identify any present imbalances. While the acupuncture treatment will be targeted to the facial region, your practitioner may also use a few body points to promote relaxation, wellbeing and balance specific to you and your individual health concerns.

Cosmetic acupuncture treatments include: 
- Acupuncture for the face to target areas of concern
- LED light therapy with needles in for 20 minutes (optional, but an added bonus!)
- Facial, neck, and scalp massage

While visible results can be seen after the first visit — and you will likely notice an immediate decrease in facial tension — more lasting results may require several visits depending on your concerns and desired effect.

Post-session

It’s common to feel deeply relaxed and peaceful after a session. Take time to stay present with these sensations as they carry forward into your day or evening.

It’s also important to stay well hydrated after a treatment. While it’s okay to carry on with your daily activities or exercise routine post-session, we recommend taking it easy. You may experience a little fatigue, and in some rare cases very mild flu-like symptoms (aching, headache) — all signs of your body’s natural healing and detoxification process.
