Cosmetic Acupuncture Q&A
Why choose Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture over injections or surgery?
Cosmetic acupuncture enables your skin to heal itself from the inside out! You are not putting anything external into your skin or system. It is non-invasive unlike surgery. Also, Traditional Chinese Medicine assesses the whole individual for a truly holistic experience, which improves overall well-being.
How does Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture enable the skin to heal?
This superficial insertion boosts circulation to the face and stimulates collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion. The needles create a microtrauma that forces the skin to heal itself; similar to when one gets a cut and eventually it heals. Also, the patients get
their own unique diagnosis; therefore being treated for what is going on internally. What’s going on inside is reflected in one’s skin and complexion!
What does one notice immediately after the treatment?
The face and eyes will appear less puffy yet filled out in the right places due to improved blood flow & hydration. The skin will be more radiant and dewy with an amazing glow. Any excess redness before will be evened out. Eyes will be brighter and more open. Come book an appointment to see the results for yourself!
What is the difference between cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling?
Cosmetic acupuncture is constitutional; assessing what is going on holistically and internally. It addresses imbalances with one as a whole. Getting cosmetic acupuncture will improve one’s sleep, metabolism and overall wellness. Microneedling just works on the area being treated; the needling is more efficient and covers a broader area in less time. Microneedling can be used for stretch marks and to improve skin tightness on the entire body.
Can I do both cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling?
Yes! In fact, they work beautifully in harmony with each other. A regimen integrating both is ideal for overall wellness and optimal skin health.
How long does it take for the skin to heal and to see more permanent results?
Weekly treatments for ten weeks are standard. However, you may see results before the 10 weeks, but you want to continue the healing and regenerating process to get maximum benefits.
Cosmetic facial acupuncture is a more gradual process, but along with the aesthetic results, your overall wellness will be improving drastically! You will sleep better, feel more relaxed, yet have more energy. Your natural ability to heal is remarkable; you already have it in you!

What maintenance is required to maintain the results of the cosmetic facial acupuncture?
After the 10 weekly treatments, monthly treatments should be done for maintenance.
What are the benefits of facial cupping and facial Gua Sha?
Facial cupping involves using a non-comedogenic yet nourishing oil and sliding tiny glass cups to increase circulation and move excess fluid down. This helps reduce puffiness in the face, especially swelling around the eyes.
Cupping on the face is not like body cupping; the cups are moving and not intended to create marks. Facial Gua Sha uses a beautiful jade stone tool to increase blood flow to the face while moving any excess puffiness under the skin.
The goal for both cupping and Gua Sha is to move the excess fluid down to the neck where the lymph nodes can filter and detoxify. This is best to be done before any direct needling of the face.
This helps one maximize the results of the facial needling, so fluid retention does not get in the way of seeing the full effects!
