Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
What is facial rejuvenation acupuncture?
Facial rejuvenation is a holistic approach to skincare. It contributes to a more youthful appearance by balancing energy levels, reducing stress, and promoting overall well-being. Commonly considered a natural alternative to anti-aging treatments like Botox, facial rejuvenation acupuncture provides slower yet longer-lasting results.
What are the benefits of facial rejuvenation acupuncture?
As traditional acupuncture activates the body’s self-healing abilities to enhance overall health, facial rejuvenation treatment focuses on stimulating the body’s capacity to naturally replenish the skin. This series of treatments and techniques is designed to turn back the clock, making you look and feel younger. It does this by:
Improving blood & lymph circulation
Enhancing collagen & elastin production
Reducing the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
Adding a natural glow to the skin
What does a facial rejuvenation treatment look like?
Our facial rejuvenation treatment consists of three components, with an optional fourth component for optimal results:
Face & body acupuncture
Fine sterile needles are inserted into specific points on your face and body to stimulate circulation and energy flow. Insertion points are selected based on your unique needs.
- Improve muscle tone
- Reduce fine lines
and wrinkles - Reduce frown lines
- Firm sagging jowls
- Lift drooping eyelids
- Improve skin tone
- Relax your body
- Improve digestion
Facial cupping
Specially-designed suction cups are used to massage your face based on acupuncture techniques. The cups do not leave any marks and are shaped to fit the natural contours of your face.
- Increase blood circulation to the skin
- Bring nutrients to the surface
- Drain stagnant fluids
- Reduce puffiness and dark under-eye circles
- Reduce sinus pressure and nasal congestion
- Relax jaw muscles
Facial Gua Sha
Facial Gua Sha is another type of rejuvenating massage for the face, neck, and shoulders. It is performed using special jade tools that are cool to the touch and feel amazing on your skin.
- Increased blood circulation
- Drain stagnant fluids
- Reduce puffiness and dark under-eye circles
- Release neck and shoulder tension
- Reduce wrinkles and sagging
- Reduce redness
- Improve rosacea symptoms
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture and microneedling
Microneedling is an optional addition to our facial rejuvenation treatment. The treatment involves using an AcuLift Pen, which penetrates the skin with tiny needles to stimulate the body’s restorative processes. This promotes the production of new collagen and elastin as the skin heals, plumping out fine lines and deep wrinkles, tightening the skin, and reducing pores, age spots, and acne scars.
Our microneedling treatment is not painful. Compared to tools used at traditional medical spas, the AcuLift Pen is much gentler on the skin and causes minimal discomfort.
Benefits of microneedling:
Improves skin elasticity
Reduces wrinkles
Helps lighten scars
Evens skin tone
Shrinks pores
