Cosmetic acupuncture is not only a beautiful and relaxing treatment but also a fantastic natural alternative for overall skin care and anti-aging. Unlike many of the harsher, more invasive procedures offered in Western cosmetic clinics, cosmetic acupuncture provides a gentle, natural approach to maintaining healthy, youthful skin.
Specifically, this treatment involves traditional acupuncture for the body, with a special focus on the face. By targeting specific acupuncture points on the face, cosmetic acupuncture stimulates the body’s self-repair mechanisms, promoting circulation, lymphatic drainage, and nutrient supply to the skin. As a result, the process triggers the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity, which leads to a brighter complexion and improved skin tone.
How does it work?
Cosmetic acupuncture creates tiny microtraumas across the skin, which in turn triggers the body’s natural healing response. For example, this includes increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and boosting collagen production. The treatment involves inserting very fine needles into specific facial acupuncture points and leaving them in place for around 20 minutes. Afterward, the session includes facial gua sha and facial cupping, and it ends with a relaxing facial massage. At our clinic, we only use high-quality jade or rose quartz facial tools, both of which offer unique and therapeutic properties.
The treatment can help with a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Wrinkles and frown lines
- Dark age spots and uneven skin tone
- Forehead furrows
- Deep laughter lines
- Sagging and drooping skin
- Crow’s feet and eye puffiness
- Oily, dry, or dull flaky skin complexion
- Redness or blotchy skin tone
- Acne scarring and other scars
In addition to the physical benefits, cosmetic acupuncture provides a sense of calm and relaxation, promoting overall well-being. Moreover, many people appreciate this holistic approach to beauty, which not only improves the external appearance but also enhances internal health. Together, the combination of acupuncture, gua sha, and facial massage helps detoxify the skin, reduce puffiness, and rejuvenate the face, providing both immediate and long-term benefits.
