What is Facial Acupuncture?

Even though facial acupuncture is a “facial” treatment, it is also part of a whole-body experience that can restore balance, treat symptoms, and address underlying conditions contributing to stress, anxiety, insomnia, poor digestion, and headaches.

The Power of Facial Acupuncture

Facial Acupuncture as Part of Whole-Body Treatment

Typically, after a full-body acupuncture session, the acupuncturist incorporates specific techniques on the face. It is recommended that facial acupuncture be done as part of a comprehensive treatment to prevent energy congestion in the face alone, leading to dullness, discomfort, and headaches.

Stimulating Positive Microtraumas

Facial acupuncture involves the insertion of tiny, painless needles on the face, creating positive microtraumas. These microscopic wounds stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems, delivering nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells. This nourishment from within promotes a healthy complexion, natural glow, and also improved skin elasticity.

Types of Facial Acupuncture

Facial Acupuncture for Symptom Relief

Facial acupuncture targets conditions affecting facial muscles and tissues, including muscle stiffness, headaches, allergies, and jaw aches. By addressing these symptoms, facial acupuncture contributes to overall well-being and comfort.

Cosmetic Acupuncture for Skin Rejuvenation

Cosmetic acupuncture focuses specifically on skin rejuvenation. By stimulating collagen production and enhancing the skin’s natural vitality, this form of acupuncture not only minimizes wrinkles but also improves skin elasticity. Embracing the principles of natural facelifts, cosmetic acupuncture offers a holistic approach to skincare.
