Cosmetic Acupuncture in San Diego

Natural facial rejuvenation in Pacific Beach

A Natural Approach to Brighter, More Lifted Skin

Cosmetic acupuncture is an all-natural, minimally invasive treatment that addresses specific facial concerns while nourishing the body from the inside out. The goal is to tone the skin of the face and neck and restore vitality.

Why clients choose it

What Clients Tell Us They Notice

A brighter, more lifted look

The most common thing clients report is a brighter, plumper, more lifted complexion.

Softer fine lines

Clients also report softened fine lines, more even tone and better facial muscle tone.

Whole-body benefits

Many clients also mention better sleep and energy, because body points are part of every session.

How it works

Collagen, Circulation and the Root Cause

Fine needles stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which deliver nutrients and oxygen to skin cells. Each insertion also creates a micro-stimulus that encourages the body's natural collagen and elastin production. Body acupuncture points are included to address the root cause of what is showing on your skin.

  • Assessment: a health check-in and your skincare concerns and goals
  • Micro-current therapy on the face and neck
  • Gua sha with our signature botanical facial oil
  • Facial and body acupuncture specific to your goals
  • Celluma LED light while you rest for 30 to 35 minutes
  • Home care and lifestyle recommendations

How it compares to injectables

Results are not as dramatic or immediate as injectables, and this is not a one-time fix. Many practitioners recommend twelve to eighteen weekly sessions to reach your goals before moving to maintenance. It is a gradual, natural approach.

Pre and post care

Before: wait 2 weeks after injectables or fillers. Hydrate and eat a meal 1 to 2 hours before your session.

After: follow your home care plan and avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol right after treatment.
