Facial Enhance Acupuncture
Facial Enhancement Acupuncture is a natural, holistic approach to improving the appearance and health of the skin. It combines the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with modern beauty techniques.
Weekly treatments for 50 minute sessions are recommended initially to harness an intensive accumulative affect. Once optimal results are achieved treatments every 1 to 2 months are beneficial to maintain skin health and prevent accumulative signs of aging. Changes are gradual and accumulative rather than dramatic.
Is It a Good Alternative to Botox or Fillers? Yes, for those seeking a natural, relatively non-invasive approach with no down time required. While results are more subtle and gradual, they also address the underlying causes of aging rather than just masking the symptoms for well being that can be seen and felt.

How It Works:
Facial acupuncture points are used to activate specific muscles of the face and neck to lift, improve muscle tone, relax tension, and increase circulation of blood and lymph.
Microtrauma: Tiny needles are inserted into frown lines and wrinkles, causing a ‘micro-trauma’ that stimulates the body to produce collagen and gently plump out lines naturally.
Whole-Body Treatment: Acupuncture points on the body are used which support internal organs, addressing root causes like stress, gut health, and hormonal imbalance.
Qi & Blood Flow: In TCM, beauty reflects internal health. Acupuncture helps unblock energy and increase circulation to nourish the skin.
