COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Where Beauty and Internal Health Meet
Cosmetic acupuncture takes a holistic approach to treating the appearance by addressing the root cause, harmonizing the internal systems, toning the facial muscles, and releasing trauma & stress imprints in the fascia of the face. It rewires and retrains the face to bring out a brighter, healthier, and more vibrant you.
​
Often referred to as the "acu face lift", aesthetic acupuncture takes a holistic approach to cosmetic concerns by:
reducing lines
brightening the face
targeting blemishes
toning the facial muscles
plumping the lips and skin
lifting and tightening the skin
stimulating collagen and elastin production
stimulating cell-turnover
encouraging lymphatic and circulatory flow
draining out toxins
bringing in nutrients and oxygen to the skin
​
Research shows that cosmetic acupuncture should be administered consistently to build a cumulative effect on your outward appearance and your inner health.
6-12 treatments are recommended for ages 30 or below.
12-24 treatments are recommended for ages 30-45.
24-48 treatments are recommended for ages 45 or up.
​
Unlike fillers, injections, or face lifts, cosmetic acupuncture sessions do not offer immediate results, but rather create a compounding effect with each session building on the prior one. With consistent treatments, you can experience long-lasting and natural effects in your appearance, revealing a brighter and younger appearance that still looks like YOU. Results from aesthetic acupuncture treatments can last for years and require minimal maintenance.
Aesthetic acupuncture is an all-natural, non-toxic, non-surgical, non-invasive, and pain-free procedure.
