Cosmetic Acupuncture
COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial rejuvenation acupuncture or facial acupuncture, has a long history within Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is based on the principle that overall health and balance can be reflected in the appearance of the skin.
During a treatment, ultra-fine needles are inserted into specific points on the face and body. Your cosmetic acupuncture treatment also includes Celluma LED light therapy, using clinically studied wavelengths of light to complement your treatment and support the skin’s natural rejuvenation process.
This combination of cosmetic acupuncture and Celluma creates a relaxing, non-invasive treatment designed to support circulation, encourage the skin’s natural renewal process, and leave your complexion looking refreshed, radiant, and revitalized.
Examples of conditions treated:
- Fine Lines & Loss of Firmness
- Skin Elasticity & Tone
- Dull or Tired-Looking Complexion
- Facial Puffiness
- Facial Muscle Tension
- Circulation & Radiance
- Overall Skin Rejuvenation
- Stress & Relaxation
How Cosmetic Acupuncture Supports Skin Health
Collagen and Elastin Support:
The insertion of ultra-fine needles creates controlled micro-stimulation in the skin. This encourages the body's natural healing response and stimulates fibroblast activity. Fibroblasts are cells involved in the production of collagen, elastin, and other components that contribute to the skin's structure, firmness, and elasticity.
Enhanced Circulation
Acupuncture promotes localized circulation and blood flow to facial tissues. Improved circulation supports the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, contributing to a healthy, radiant complexion.
Muscle Relaxation and Facial Tone:
Unlike injectable treatments that temporarily limit muscle movement, cosmetic acupuncture works without intentionally paralyzing facial muscles. Treatments help relax areas of muscular tension and support natural facial expression while contributing to a refreshed appearance.
Lymphatic Support and Reduced Puffiness
Acupuncture supports fluid movement and circulation, which can help reduce the appearance of facial puffiness and promote a more refreshed appearance. Its effects on the body's inflammatory response may also support overall skin health
Whole-Body Wellness
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, skin health is viewed as being connected to the health and balance of the whole body. Cosmetic acupuncture treatments typically include acupuncture points on the body as well as the face, with the goal of supporting overall balance, relaxation, and well-being
