What is Facial Acupuncture?
Facial acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the face and body. These needles not only stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes but also relax the muscles by improving the function of the nerves going to the face. By directly needling these nerves, the treatment enhances their ability to fire properly, leading to improved muscle relaxation and overall facial tone. Unlike more invasive cosmetic procedures, facial acupuncture offers a gentle yet effective method for revitalizing the skin.
Benefits of Facial Acupuncture for the Skin
1. Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles:
One of the primary benefits of facial rejuvenation acupuncture is its ability to minimize fine lines and wrinkles. By stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity, the treatment helps smooth out creases and improve skin texture.
2. Tightening Sagging Skin:
As we age, our skin loses its firmness and begins to sag. Facial acupuncture works to tighten and lift sagging skin by promoting the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibers. This results in a more toned and youthful appearance.
3. Improve Circulation with Gua Sha: Our facial acupuncture treatments include facial Gua Sha, a traditional technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool. This method improves circulation, reduces puffiness, and promotes lymphatic drainage, further enhancing skin tone and texture.
Typical Facial Acupuncture Treatment Plan
For the full benefits of facial rejuvenation acupuncture, we recommend a series of 10 weekly treatments. This regimen ensures sustained improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. Facial acupuncture is a great complement to microneedling, which is typically done once per month. You can continue facial acupuncture between microneedling sessions to maintain and enhance the rejuvenation effects.
We use exclusively TOMA face products, A company started by two acupuncturists passionate about formulating the cleanest and non-endocrine disrupting products that are also imbued with the ancient knowledge of Chinese Medicine. Additionally, we offer 20 minutes of LED light therapy as an optional part of the acupuncture treatment. LED light therapy enhances skin healing, reduces inflammation, and promotes an even skin tone, further boosting the revitalization actions of the treatment.
