Cosmetic Acupuncture
COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE IS A TREATMENT THAT CONSISTS OF A SPECIFIC SET OF ACUPUNCTURE POINTS USED TO NATURALLY ENHANCE AND BOOST THE LOOK AND HEALTH OF YOUR SKIN
During your treatment, tiny needles are placed at the points on the face and neck, along with points on the body to address healthy, glowing skin from the inside out. These body points are customized to each person’s needs and goals.
How It Works
Cosmetic acupuncture works by causing tiny micro traumas to the skin, which signal the body to send collagen, elastin and microcirculation to the face and treatment area
Triggers a self-repair response in the skin, while also addressing the internal imbalances that may contribute to aging (digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, etc.)
Stimulates muscles that have become too flaccid, and relaxes muscles that are too tight
Results are cumulative and increase with each treatment

What to Expect
Intake Process
We discuss your goals and come up with a treatment plan. We focus on a whole body approach, so we address your cosmetic concerns at the root cause.
Facial Cupping
This gentle technique stimulates more blood circulation in the skin and muscles of the face. Don’t worry- the cups we use on the face will not leave the marks that you may experience with body cupping.
Acupuncture Treatment
We use tiny and ultra thin needles that are not painful. We also treat the skin during this time with a Celluma Light Therapy device, which emits specific wavelengths of red and blue light and increases cell turnover while improving blood flow.
Gua Sha/Facial Massage
We provide a gentle, yet effective, manual therapy to improve circulation while also draining lymph. This helps relieve congestions from the pores, break up adhesions and tightness in your facial muscles, and addresses the deeper layers of the skin.
