The practice of facial rejuvenation therapy has a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture in the face stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which deliver nutrients and oxygen to your skin cells. This nourishes the skin, smooths your complexion and creates a healthy facial glow! Acupuncture also stimulates collagen production which improves elasticity - smoothing out those fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to acupuncture, you may include jade rolling, gua sha and our favorite products to help plump, hydrate, soften and smooth skin. Last but not least, Chinese medicine treats holistically, so while your face is getting some love, your body will receive the constitutional support it needs!

What is a Cosmetic Acupuncture Face Lift?

​

Cosmetic acupuncture is a safe and effective method of using acupuncture needles to tone, tighten, and rejuvenate the look of your skin. ​It can reduce deep wrinkles, fine lines, double chins, bags under the eyes, droopy eyelids, etc. to take years off the look of your skin. Cosmetic acupuncture is a full body treatment that can improve the overall health of your body and restore a youthful glow to your face.

​

How does it work?

​

During your session, specialized hair-thin needles (sterilized and disposable) are inserted into specific areas of the face and body based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The stimulation from the needles increases blood flow to the face, bringing vital moisture and nutrients to the skin. It can cause collagen to be deposited into wrinkles and fine lines, thus reducing their appearance. Most importantly, it can tone the muscles of the face to tighten the skin and life sagging areas.

​

What results can I get?

​

You can expect a reduction of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin; an overall tightening of skin and pores; lifting of droopy eyelids; firming pouches under the eyes; minimizing the 'double chin'; improving the texture of the skin; restoring healthy colour and glow to otherwise sallow skin. Results may vary from person to person based on their health history.

 

Why choose Facial Acupuncture over other procedures?

​

Facial acupuncture is a great alternative to cosmetic surgery, chemical peels, and injections. It is far less costly, much safer and virtually painless. There is no risk of disfigurement or the dangers associated with invasive surgery or surgical anesthesia. With cosmetic acupuncture, the fine acupuncture needles are specially designed to lessen any slight chance of mild pain or mild bruising. Unlike surgery, there is no trauma and extended period of swelling or discoloration.

 

Course of Treatment

​

Each facial acupuncture session is 45 minutes. A standard course of treatments are 10 sessions including a 15 minute initial intake. For best results, sessions are done twice a week for 5 weeks. In some cases, minimal maintenance treatments may be recommended.
