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.

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.
