About
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture is a traditional approach that supports graceful aging.
By addressing internal imbalances and the body's constitution, we target the root cause of facial aging, effectively treating visible signs. Our aim is to strengthen the body as it ages, promoting a healthy, tight, lifted, and radiant appearance.
Our cosmetic acupuncture treatments are combined with facial massage, facial gua sha, facial cupping, microcurrent, and LED light therapy as needed, tailored to each individual's unique needs.
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 10-12 regularly treatments to acheive the best outcome.
Facial Massage/
Gua Sha/ Cupping
Gua Sha and facial cupping are gentle and relaxing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments. Gua Sha involves using an agate stone tool to gently "scrape" the shoulders, neck, and face, stimulating the skin and muscles. On the other hand, facial cupping utilizes silicone or glass cups to create suction on the face, promoting skin and muscle stimulation.
Benefits include:
-
Enhanced blood circulation.
-
Improved reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Promoted lymphatic drainage.
-
Relief from muscle tension.
Microcurrent
Microcurrents involve using low-level electrical currents to stimulate the skin and muscles, improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage. It promotes collagen and elastin production on the skin's surface and aids in muscle re-education at a deeper level.
The visible benefits of cosmetic acupuncture include:
-
Improved tissue circulation
-
Re-hydration of the skin
-
Enhanced lymphatic drainage
-
Reduced puffiness

Harmonized skin tone and texture

Re-educated muscle activity

Softened appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Microcurrent therapy is not recommended for individuals under 18 years old, those with active cancer, epilepsy/seizures, muscle or nerve disorders, recent facial surgery, fillers, implants, injections, pacemaker, electrical implant devices, severe acne, or inflamed skin.
LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy is commonly used to stimulate the three layers of the skin.
It increases ATP production within cells, promotes healthy synthesis of cellular proteins, and stimulates fibroblasts to boost collagen production. This aids in wound healing, tissue repair, and muscle integrity.
LED Light Therapy also helps restore the body's electrical potential across cellular membranes, which may decline with age.
The depth of light wavelengths can influence muscle activity, accelerating healing and changing muscle tone.
Please note that LED Light Therapy is not recommended for individuals with a history of epilepsy, photosensitivity, taking medications causing light sensitivity (e.g., tetracycline), or those who may be pregnant.
Please wait 4-6 weeks after facial surgery to do any cosmetic acupuncture.
Or 2 to 3 weeks after fillers, injections and implants.
