How does facial acupuncture works?

Facial acupuncture rejuvenates your skin through three key mechanisms:

• Increases Muscle Tone: Stimulates facial acupoints to promote muscle fiber contraction, enhancing facial muscle elasticity for a lifted, firmer look.

• Stimulates Collagen and Elastin: Gentle needle insertion triggers the skin’s basal layer to produce collagen and elastin, supporting plump, youthful skin.

• Improves Circulation and Meridian Flow: Enhances blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and tissue fluid circulation, accelerating waste removal for radiant skin.

Benefits of facial acupuncture

• Lifts Facial Contours: Improves sagging, nasolabial folds, and double chin for a defined, youthful appearance.

• Tightens and Firms Skin: Creates a V-shaped face by reducing puffiness and relaxing overactive chewing muscles.

• Enhances Circulation: Promotes a radiant complexion, reducing dark circles and dull skin tone.

• Reduces Wrinkles: Fades fine lines, crow’s feet, and deep wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.

• Improves Acne and Scarring: Promotes healing of acne and cystic acne, while fading acne scars for smoother skin.

What to expect during treatment?

1. Consultation (Analysis): We begin with a thorough assessment of your skin concerns, health history, and lifestyle to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

2. Facial Acupuncture: Our acupuncturist uses ultra-fine sterile needles to target facial and body acupoints. The process is gentle, with minimal sensation, and avoids microcapillary damage for maximum comfort.

3. Facial Mask or Guasha: Sessions may include a customized herbal facial mask according to your skin condition or guasha to enhance circulation, reduce puffiness, and boost skin radiance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is facial acupuncture safe?

  Yes, performed by licensed practitioners, it’s highly safe and hygienic with minimal side effects.

• How many sessions are needed?

  Most clients see results after 3-5 sessions, with 6-10 sessions recommended for lasting benefits.

• Does facial acupuncture hurt or leave wounds?

  Facial acupuncture is nearly painless due to our specialized ultra-fine 0.1-0.12mm needles, which are thinner than hair. The needle marks are invisible to the naked eye, leaving no wounds or recovery period. You can apply makeup and resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

• Can I do facials or exercise before or after facial acupuncture?
