What is an acupuncture facial?

It’s a unique acupuncture treatment that focuses on glowing skin. The goals are to improve circulation, soften fine lines and wrinkles, brighten, resolve acne and redness, lift and decrease puffiness.

How does cosmetic acupuncture work?

Acupuncture needles are inserted into the muscles of the face and underneath fine lines and wrinkles causing micro-trauma. This stimulates your immune system to repair the area with collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are naturally occurring proteins found in connective tissue that provide strength and structure to the skin. The needles also stimulate circulation in the face and help release tension in muscles that can contribute to the formation of lines.

How long does it last?

Results last 3-5 years depending on lifestyle habits. It is critical to protect your skin from sun damage and continue to address stress, sleep and nutrition in the years following your treatment. Maintenance treatments are recommended quarterly, bi monthly or monthly depending on your skin concerns.

What to expect from cosmetic acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture results can be remarkable and the best part is, there's no synthetic chemicals, no anesthesia, no recovery time and minimal side effects. This holistic and natural approach is often what draws clients to this form of skincare. Cosmetic acupuncture is not analogous to botox, face lift or other surgical cosmetic procedures. Results take time to produce because we are stimulating your body's own collagen response and working with lifestyle changes. In cosmetic acupuncture we understand it is impossible to completely arrest the aging process. Our intention in this approach is to stimulate graceful aging while encouraging a relationship with self that honors this natural lifelong transition.
