Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture facials combine ancient medicine with modern technology and therapeutic techniques to enhance health and beauty from the inside out.
Unlike many anti-ageing procedures that only address the surface, facial rejuvenation acupuncture treats the whole body.
Each session can help reduce stress, improve digestion, and promote better sleep—so you’ll glow on the outside because you feel better on the inside.
Cosmetic acupuncture works by gently stimulating specific points on the face to encourage natural collagen and elastin production. This process improves skin elasticity, softens fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances facial muscle tone. It can also revitalise dull or tired-looking skin, reduce the appearance of acne and rosacea, and minimise dark circles under the eyes.
Our facial acupuncture sessions are not only effective for skin rejuvenation but also deeply relaxing—a perfect way to combine beauty, self-care, and stress relief in one treatment.
What to Expect in Your Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Treatment?
During the intake, your practitioner will ask you about your concerns and goals for your treatment. They will then ask targeted questions to help determine what other internal imbalances you might have. In traditional Chinese medicine, facial analysis is used to determine internal imbalances. For example, frown lines between your eyebrows point towards an imbalance with liver energy; dark circles under your eyes can lead us to ask questions to determine the health of your kidney energy. Beauty is the exterior manifestation of interior health; you never look your best when you are feeling unwell. The key to facial rejuvenation acupuncture is to focus on your overall health and beauty will follow closely behind.
Once your TCM pattern has been determined and specific acupoints have been chosen for your treatment, very fine needles will be inserted into points on your body as well as your face. Needles will also be placed in fine lines and wrinkles, causing a natural production of collagen, which creates a softening of lines and wrinkles.
After resting with the needles for 30 minutes, your acupuncturist will remove the needles and perform a brief facial massage and guasha using a jade tool. Facial gua sha is a simple and gentle massage technique that increases the circulation and lymphatic flow in your face. The guasha tool allows us to get deeper into the fascia than by massaging with fingers alone. Cosmetic acupuncture leaves you looking and feeling your best.
