What Is Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture?


How Does Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture Work?

The well-known benefits of acupuncture treatment are enhancing muscle strength and improving body energy (Qi) and blood flow, which is responsible for overall well-being. Facial cosmetic acupuncture adopts similar concepts and shares the general treatment effectiveness of acupuncture but focuses more on the skin and muscles of the face and neck. In addition, acupuncture needling creates micro-puncture on the skin and its associated deep tissues, causing positive microtrauma. It will promote Qi (energy) and blood flow in the local area, which means stimulating our body's circulatory and lymphatic systems and encouraging collagen synthesis. These positive effects bring revitalization of muscles and skin of the face and neck.

FAQs

What is facial cosmetic acupuncture?

Facial cosmetic acupuncture is a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and enhance skin elasticity. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging while promoting a more radiant, youthful complexion. In addition to facial benefits, it also addresses underlying health issues that may contribute to skin aging.

How does facial cosmetic acupuncture work?

The micro-needles stimulate the skin's natural healing process by increasing blood flow and boosting the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that are essential for skin firmness and elasticity. This results in smoother, more toned skin. Facial acupuncture also improves overall skin health by enhancing circulation and reducing inflammation, giving you a refreshed, healthy glow.

back

Is facial cosmetic acupuncture painful?

The needles used for facial acupuncture are extremely fine, much thinner than those used for other medical purposes. Most people experience minimal discomfort, often described as a slight tingling or warming sensation. Our practitioners are skilled in gentle needling techniques to ensure your comfort during the treatment.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

Visible improvements are often seen after just a few sessions, but for long-lasting results, a series of 10–12 sessions is typically recommended. Initially, treatments may be scheduled 1–2 times a week, and once optimal results are achieved, maintenance sessions every few weeks or months can help sustain the benefits.

What are the benefits of facial cosmetic acupuncture compared to Botox or fillers?

Unlike Botox or fillers, facial cosmetic acupuncture is a natural treatment that enhances your skin's overall health without the use of chemicals or injections. It addresses both cosmetic and underlying health issues, improving not only the appearance of the skin but also overall well-being. There are no risks of toxins, side effects, or unnatural results, making it a safer, holistic option for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.

back

Are there any side effects of facial cosmetic acupuncture?

Facial cosmetic acupuncture is generally very safe and has minimal side effects. Some patients may experience slight redness, mild swelling, or temporary bruising at the needle sites, but these effects typically subside within a day or two. There is no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately after your session.
