What is Facial Acupuncture?

Facial acupuncture is like a workout for your face—without the sweat! This ancient practice uses very fine needles placed at strategic points on your face to boost circulation, reduce puffiness, and give your skin that natural, radiant glow. Think of it as a natural facelift that works with your body’s energy to rejuvenate your skin, tone muscles, and smooth out fine lines. It’s the ultimate self-care treat for your face, combining the wisdom of thousands of years with modern beauty needs, leaving you refreshed and glowing like you just had a spa day for your face!

What to Expect During Your Facial Acupuncture Session

Here’s how your facial acupuncture session will go:

Preparing for acupuncture

Consultation

We’ll start with a conversation about your skin goals and any areas you want to focus on. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs and ensures you get the best results.

Initial Consultation

Relaxing Prep

You’ll be comfortably settled, and your practitioner will cleanse your face to prepare for the acupuncture. Then, the very fine, sterile needles will be gently placed in specific points along your face to stimulate circulation, toning, and rejuvenating your skin.

Red Light Therapy

Once the acupuncture is in place, you’ll be encouraged to relax under the red light while the needles work their magic. Most clients find the process very calming and soothing. You might even fall into a state of deep relaxation during the treatment!

Finishing Touches

After the needles are removed, we’ll apply a soothing serum to hydrate and nourish your skin, helping to maximize the benefits of the treatment. You’ll leave feeling glowing and rejuvenated, with no downtime to worry about.

What Results Can You Expect?

Facial acupuncture offers a natural, holistic way to lift, tone, and rejuvenate your skin, and you’ll start to notice changes after just a few sessions. Here’s what to expect:

  • Reduced Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Facial acupuncture works to stimulate collagen production, which helps smooth out fine lines and reduces the appearance of deeper wrinkles.
  • Toned, Firm Skin: The treatment targets the muscles beneath your skin, lifting and toning, leaving you with a firmer, more youthful appearance.
  • Improved Circulation & Glow: Expect a healthier, more radiant complexion thanks to improved blood flow and increased oxygen to your skin cells.
  • Reduced Puffiness: Facial acupuncture helps reduce facial swelling and puffiness, especially around the eyes and cheeks, leaving your face looking more defined and refreshed.

How Many Sessions Should You Have?

For the best results, we recommend starting with a series of 6-10 facial acupuncture treatments, spaced about 1 week apart. This allows your skin to fully benefit from the collagen-boosting effects and helps to establish long-lasting results.

Once you’ve completed your initial series, you may opt for maintenance sessions every 4-6 weeks to keep your skin looking lifted, toned, and radiant.

Facial acupuncture is a gradual process, but with consistency, you’ll notice a refreshed, youthful glow that continues to improve with each session!
