Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture

Facial Acupuncture

Facial Acupuncture is a gentle, effective, and safe way to combat the signs of aging and erase years from your face without the risk or recovery time of surgery or injections. Acupuncture dates back 3,000 years to ancient China but has advanced in its theory, technology, and treatment methods. Western medical acupuncturists now use the best aspects of holistic integrative medicine, while abiding by the ancient principles of finding balance and achieving optimal wellness.

As we age, the 57 muscles in our faces gradually lose their tone and mass. This causes sagging and deep wrinkling, the tired look associated with aging. It builds collagen, tones muscles, improves circulation, and stimulates blood flow with no risk of scars, infections, rashes, or toxic build-up of chemicals. Every patient is unique and treated both respectfully and personally, as a multifaceted individual with special emotional needs and physical requirements. Facial rejuvenation specialists bring sensation back to the face while working with clients’ treatment preferences and specific areas of concern.

Ultra-thin, painless needles are placed in the outside of the ear to induce relaxation, and body points are used which correspond to the individual’s specific needs, causing a sense of well-being to flood throughout the body. Once deeply relaxed, needles are placed on the face at acupuncture points to stimulate muscles. Needles are also placed in wrinkle lines to create micro-traumas, which produce collagen. Wrinkles fill, and the face lifts itself via the acupuncture points, returning to a healthier, revitalized, youthful appearance.

 Dermatological Cupping

Sometimes called “Photoshop for the face,” cupping reduces puffiness, dark circles, and swelling by moving excess fluids and toxins out of the skin and drawing nutrients to the surface of the skin. Dermatological Cupping softens fine lines, firms the skin, brings circulation back to tissues, boosts circulation, relaxes muscle tone, reduces cellulite, and cleanses lymphatic vessels. Cupping can be applied by hand or with machine assistance, but we favor hand-cupping for greater control and precision in our treatments. These tiny suction cups leave no marks but will leave your skin feeling fuller, smoother, and more beautiful than before.

After applying a therapeutic oil, the small glass cup is gently suctioned for a few seconds and moved along various tissue pathways. Cups are also moved over deep wrinkles to increase blood flow to the area and moved along the face and down the neck to drain lymphatic fluid. This brings collagen to the surface, reduces puffiness, cleanses dark circles, diminishes lines, drains sinuses, and flushes the lymphatic system. TMJ and sinus pressure can even be relieved as the face is rejuvenated.

Precision Dermal Rolling

Precision Dermal Rolling uses a special tool for a light but impactful application of superficial dermatological acupuncture. This roller is covered in hundreds of microscopic needles. When rolled across the skin, it stimulates nerves and blood vessels, increasing microscopic vascular dilation to cleanse the skin of toxins and reduce wrinkles. This combined action creates a revitalized, youthful appearance. Healing can even occur from the treatment, with especially astonishing results for facial acne scarring, blemishes, and sunspots.

Jade Facial Massage

Jade Facial Massage or “Gua Sha” uses instruments made from jade stone. With proper massage techniques, it helps to revitalize and restore the quality of the skin. Like our other techniques, jade facial massage is excellent for sculpting, toning, and firming skin, creating enhanced glow and reduced puffiness through increased circulation. It releases tension in the fascia network while minimizing fine lines and cleansing lymphatic fluids, reducing inflammation under the eyes and chin. This can be especially beneficial for acne, rosacea, melasma, dark circles, wrinkles, sagging, and puffiness. It also improves elasticity, detoxifying while helping skincare products penetrate the outer layers of the face. Traditionally, the properties of jade make for a calming, soothing experience, as the stone itself is said to be cooling and tonifying.
