Cosmetic acupuncture is an all-natural and non-toxic minimally invasive procedure that reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves facial elasticity, and tightens and brightens the complexion. Cosmetic acupuncture treatments address specific facial concerns, while nourishing the body from the inside out and correcting internal imbalances to restore vitality.

How it works

Cosmetic acupuncture has several different mechanisms as to how it affects the body and draws results. First, the insertion of acupuncture needles stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which both work together to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, nourishing the skin from the inside out. Cosmetic acupuncture also works by increasing blood flow and stimulating the facial muscles to improve their tone and conditioning.

The goal of cosmetic acupuncture is to tone the skin of the face and neck to attain a more youthful appearance. Another mechanism that explains how this is attained is that once needles are inserted, a microtrauma is created, which stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin within the body. The increase in collagen production improves the skin’s elasticity, which helps smooth out fine wrinkles and lines.

In addition to the local facial needling, body acupuncture points are included in the session to nourish the entire body and treat the "root" cause of facial and aesthetic concerns.
