Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture FAQ

  • Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture is a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). By using very fine needles on the face and body, these treatments decrease the appearance of wrinkles using tiny needles in the face to encourage collagen production, lift & tone facial muscles, and increase skin elasticity. These treatments naturally create a healthier & more youthful appearance.
    Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture is a time-honored treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the skin and face by improving internal health, vitality, and circulation. This holistic approach not only targets skin concerns like wrinkles and inflammation but also addresses underlying health and emotional factors that contribute to skin issues. In recent years, facial acupuncture has gained popularity as a natural alternative to Botox, offering a comprehensive treatment that promotes both external and internal well-being.


  • The speed of results from cosmetic acupuncture varies depending on the patient’s age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Typically, one weekly treatment for 10-12 weeks is recommended, but for faster results, two weekly treatments for 5-6 weeks may be more effective. Repeated treatments are necessary to enhance collagen production in the skin for noticeable and lasting results.

  • Cosmetic acupuncture offers gentle, subtle changes, making it an excellent alternative to harsher cosmetic treatments. Many patients notice immediate improvements, such as a lifted face, a more defined jawline, and smoother, more supple skin. They also experience greater relaxation in the muscles of the face, neck, shoulders, and chest.

  • No makeup for these treatments. You will have the ability to wash your face before the treatment begins.
    Before your appointment, it's a good idea to have something to eat and reduce your caffeine intake, as caffeine can interfere with the effects of acupuncture and increase sensitivity to the needles. Wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing that's easy to change in and out of.

  • These treatments are not recommended for those with severe high blood pressure, migraines, diabetes, seizures, epilepsy, hepatitis, coronary disease, pregnant or trying to get pregnant.

    For Botox and fillers:

    • Wait at least three weeks after injections before treatment.

    • Botox-treated areas cannot be needled until it fully wears off (about 3-4 months).
