What it involves​

A practitioner inserts very fine needles into specific points on the face and the body to:

• Stimulate blood circulation

• Boost collagen production

• Relax facial muscles

• Support internal balance (based on traditional Chinese medicine)​​

​

 

Common benefits

People typically seek facial acupuncture to:

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

• Improve skin tone and elasticity

• Decrease puffiness or dark circles

• Help with acne or dull skin

• Promote a natural “glow”

Sometimes it's called cosmetic acupuncture for this reason.

How it works

Facial acupuncture is based on principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The idea is that improving the flow of energy (Qi) and blood helps the skin and the body function better. From a modern perspective, the micro-needling effect may trigger the skin’s natural repair processes.
