Facial Acupuncture
Rejuvenate your face and glow to your skin naturally
What is Facial Acupuncture?
Facial acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture or facial rejuvenation acupuncture, is an evolution of traditional acupuncture treatments. Your face is more than just a canvas for beauty; it’s a reflection of your overall health and well-being.
Facial acupuncture session closely follows the principles of traditional acupuncture. Based on your TCM diagnosis, we begin with body acupuncture to address any underlying imbalances. This foundational treatment helps promote overall well-being. Once that is established, we proceed with face acupuncture, targeting specific points to enhance skin health, reduce signs of aging, and improve overall facial rejuvenation. This integrated approach not only revitalizes your complexion but also supports your body’s natural healing processes, creating a holistic experience.
Benefits of Facial Acupuncture

By increasing blood circulation and stimulating collagen production, facial acupuncture can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Smooth and Vibrant Skin

Improved Complexion
The treatment can enhance skin tone and texture, helping to address issues like dryness, dullness, and uneven pigmentation.
Reduced Puffiness
Facial acupuncture may help alleviate puffiness and improve lymphatic drainage, leading to a more contoured appearance.
Combat Acne and Rosacea
Experience a reduction in acne and rosacea recurrence, along with fading of acne scars.
Stress Relief
The overall relaxation from acupuncture can lead to reduced stress levels, which often contributes to healthier skin.
Balanced Energy

Minimal Side Effects
Compared to invasive cosmetic procedures, facial acupuncture is generally safe, with minimal downtime and few side effects.
What to Expect in a Session
- Initial Consultation: The practitioner will assess your skin condition and overall health to tailor the treatment to your needs.
- Body Acupuncture First: Based on the diagnosis, the practitioner will often start with body acupuncture. This involves inserting needles into specific points on the body to address underlying issues such as stress, hormonal balance, or digestive health, which can all impact skin condition.
- Facial Needle Insertion: After the body acupuncture, the practitioner will then place needles strategically in the face. These points are chosen based on your individual needs and may include areas around the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and under the eyes.
- Light therapy: This non-invasive treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to enhance the effects of the acupuncture, promoting healing and rejuvenation. Light therapy can help reduce inflammation, improve skin tone, and boost collagen production, complementing the benefits of the acupuncture for a more radiant appearance. This combination creates a comprehensive approach to enhance your overall well-being and skin health.
- Facial massage: Ending a facial acupuncture session with a facial, neck, and head massage is a wonderful way to enhance the overall experience and effectiveness of the treatment.
