COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Natural facial rejuvenation for lift, tone and long term skin vitality
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a gentle, holistic treatment that uses fine facial and body needles to stimulate circulation, boost collagen, release muscle tension and improve overall tone. It is designed to lift, sculpt and brighten the face while supporting internal balance for long term skin health.This is the treatment for clients who want a natural, subtle approach to facial rejuvenation that evolves with time.
LIFT, TONE AND SKIN HEALTH FROM WITHIN
Cosmetic Acupuncture works by improving blood flow, enhancing lymphatic drainage and encouraging the body’s natural repair processes. As the muscles of the face relax and circulation increases, the skin appears brighter, firmer and more lifted.Each treatment is tailored to your unique skin concerns. Your practitioner will also incorporate Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to support deeper imbalances that show up in the skin, such as stress, digestion, hormones or sleep.Unlike injectables, Cosmetic Acupuncture does not alter your facial structure. It enhances what you already have, naturally, gradually and safely.

SKIN NEEDLING FAQS
