What is Facial or Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Cosmetic Acupuncture

 

Facial or Cosmetic Acupuncture is the insertion of small needles into specific points on the face. The aim is to simultaneously improve the skin's appearance while enhancing one’s health by restoring the vital flow of energy known as Qi. Puncturing the skin creates small wounds called positive micro-traumas. Sensing it’s been penetrated, the body reacts by going into repair mode. These tiny punctures pack a punch as they stimulate your lymphatic and circulatory systems, who work in unison to transport vital nutrients and oxygen to your cells, nourishing your skin from the inside out.

Cosmetic Acupuncture & Anti-Aging

Looking for a less drastic answer to age-prevention? Facial Acupuncture offers a safe alternative to help lift & firm the skin. I like to think of it as beauty from the inside out. When your inner vitality is radiant, the glow will show. Don’t take my word for it. Celebrities like Lizzo, Lucy Liu, Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow and Lady Gaga reap the benefits from this renowned treatment. Facial Acupuncture is said to:

  • Increase Collagen

  • Decrease Facial Tension

  • Tighten & Firm

  • Improve Skin's Overall Health & Complexion

  • Reduces Stress & Promotes Relaxation 

What to Expect During Your Cosmetic Acupuncture Treatment


 
 
 
 
 
 

Treatment Plans are Based on Individual Needs

Facial Acupuncture sounds intense, but far less so than other invasive procedures. This is my team when I employ cosmetic acupuncture:

  • Acupuncture is the squad all-star who provides those positive micro-traumas to boost & lift

  • Cupping improves blood & lymph circulation, while decreasing facial tension

  • Gua Sha gently breaks up any fascia that’s creating lines, while toning muscles that are sagging

  • Tuina massage provides gentle stimulation to deepen the relaxation experience while delivering product deep within the skin

The skin is cleansed and prepped for the needles. Once they are removed, serums and balms are used to nourish and hydrate the skin while enhancing the effectiveness of the  cupping and gua sha. My treatments include the use of all natural, Canadian-made skincare.

This is a holistic approach to anti-aging setting it apart from other, move invasive procedures. Cosmetic Acupuncture doesn’t just treat the face, it addresses your entire being. The needles work deeply and internally to enhance your health while simultaneously improving the skin's appearance. As a natural solution to age prevention, regular treatments will keep your Qi balanced and your skin healthy; when your Qi flows, the glow will show. 

Depending upon your individual needs will dictate your treatment plan. I will provide lifestyle advice to help prolong the effects of your treatment such as nutritional and skin care suggestions. I want you to feel beautiful from the inside out. If you’re targeting a specific concern, a series of weekly treatments can be beneficial. Think of your skin being placed on a new workout regimen; consistency is everything when trying to achieve goals. Clinically speaking, many of my patients switch to monthly maintenance to recalibrate when necessary and keep that Qi flowing smoothly.

Facial Acupuncture is self-care. Once you learn the ropes, great skin can be attainable.
