Natural, holistic rejuvenation

Natural facial rejuvenation

Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial rejuvenation acupuncture, is a natural way to refresh your appearance, reduce signs of aging, and restore balance from within. Using ultra-fine acupuncture needles, gentle Gua Sha massage, and facial cupping, this treatment stimulates collagen production, improves circulation, and encourages lymphatic drainage—helping your skin look brighter, smoother, and more youthful without surgery or downtime.

 
Benefits

  • Boosts collagen production to reduce fine lines and improve elasticity

  • Improves circulation for a radiant, healthy glow

  • Releases facial tension (jaw, brow, neck) that contributes to wrinkles

  • Contours and lifts naturally through improved muscle tone

  • Holistic approach that addresses root causes of imbalance, such as stress, sleep, and energy levels

Unlike conventional facials, cosmetic acupuncture works both at the surface of the skin and at a deeper energetic level, promoting long-term rejuvenation.

 
What to Expect During Your Session

Every session begins with a thoughtful conversation about your lifestyle—sleep, stress, emotions, and energy—so your treatment is truly personalized.

Once the needles are placed, you’ll enjoy deep relaxation in a calming space. Your acupuncturist will check in on you and complete your treatment with care, leaving you refreshed and glowing.

The Science of Collagen Renewal

As we age, collagen levels decline, leading to sagging, dullness, and deeper lines. Cosmetic acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production. This process helps plump fine lines, improve skin structure, and restore a youthful glow—naturally.

 

Important Considerations

Cosmetic acupuncture is not recommended during pregnancy, for those with uncontrolled high blood pressure, or for individuals with chronic migraines, as it may be overstimulating. If you’re pregnant—or prefer a minimal-needling option—our Gua Sha Glow Facial offers a safe and effective alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cosmetic acupuncture hurt?

When needles are inserted you may feel a prick but you should not feel any severe pain. If you ever feel discomfort let your practitioner know immediately and they will assist you. Though it is unlikely to occur, as with any needling, there is a slight risk of superficial bruising that typically resolves within a few days.

For long lasting results, multiple cosmetic acupuncture treatments booked close together are recommended. Book in for a complimentary 10 minute cosmetic acupuncture consultation to discuss a plan that fits your goals perfectly.

Cosmetic acupuncture can be used instead of botox or in combination with botox. If you have had botox or fillers you need to wait 8 weeks before receiving cosmetic acupuncture. To help you better understand what would work best for you we’ve outlined some differences between the two below. You should consult your health care practitioner before making a decision.

You will experience the benefits of muscle relaxation of overall calm after the first visit. For long lasting results, we recommend five to ten treatments with your body responding positively with each treatment. Ideally, you would come twice a week for 5 weeks, or once a week for 10 weeks.
