Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial rejuvenation acupuncture, is a non-surgical, natural treatment that involves inserting tiny needles into the face and body to improve skin health: 

  • Benefits: Cosmetic acupuncture can help with:
  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles 
  • Plumping and tightening skin 
  • Improving skin texture and tone 
  • Reducing inflammation 
  • Improving lymphatic drainage 
  • Reducing acne 
  • How it works: The needles stimulate the body’s natural healing response, which increases blood flow and collagen production. 
  • Treatment: A typical treatment involves placing needles in areas like the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. The treatment is relaxing and can take 20ā€“30 minutes. 
  • Series: Most practitioners recommend a series of 10ā€“12 sessions over several weeks. 
  • Side effects: Cosmetic acupuncture has few side effects, aside from occasional bruising. 
  • Alternatives: Some say cosmetic acupuncture is a less invasive alternative to Botox. 

Cosmetic acupuncture has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years.
