Cosmetic Acupuncture for Facial Rejuvenation

Cosmetic Acupuncture or, Facial Rejuvenation, is a style of Traditional Chinese Medicine which highlights the use of acupuncture points on the face.
Treatments can be directed toward resolving cosmetic complaints like dark circles under the eyes, sagging jowls, or acne. Many people come for anti-aging effects, such as reducing or eliminating wrinkles and lines. Others come to reduce sinus congestion or regulate hormones and gain the additional benefit of clear skin and a bright, glowing face.
​
The recommended treatment series is ten to fifteen sessions twice per week, and you will start noticing lasting change around treatment 6 or 7. The effects from a full treatment series can last for years.
​
As acupuncturists, we use needles to contact and promote energy flow, stimulating elastin and collagen production, enhancing cellular turnover, and increasing the overall muscle tone of the face.
