Facial Acupuncture

What Is Facial Acupuncture?

Facial acupuncture is a non-invasive treatment that works from the inside out to reduce pain and/or enhance the body’s ability to age gracefully. This acupuncture technique targets muscles that need to be relaxed or strengthened, eases tension and stress, and promotes collagen production, all of which can improve skin tone, brighten complexion, and prevent or reduce sagging and puffiness.

Many patients notice a difference after a single treatment! However, a series of treatments is recommended for longer-lasting results, especially if you’re considering cosmetic facial acupuncture as an alternative or complement to more invasive treatments such as Botox, Dysport, or fillers.

Why Is Facial Acupuncture Important?

Facial acupuncture has been around for thousands of years as both a preventative and restorative treatment but has become more popular during the past decade. More people are seeking out holistic, natural approaches to enhancing their appearance rather than traditional “anti-aging” therapies. Facial acupuncture can also treat painful conditions in the face and neck areas without medication or surgery.

What Conditions Can Be Treated with Facial Acupuncture?

With needle placement focused on the face and neck, cosmetic facial acupuncture is customized to enhance your aesthetic appearance while improving skin health. This treatment can:

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkle
• Improve overall skin texture, clarity, and elasticity
• Promote circulation
• Stimulate collagen production
• Ease tension
• Reduce puffiness
• Prevent and decrease sagging
• Lift and firm the face and neck

Facial acupuncture is used in a clinical setting to treat a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:

• TMJ disorder
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Bell’s Palsy
• Headaches
• Migraines
• Acne
• Rosacea

How Does Acupuncture Fit into Our Integrative Model of Care?

Facial acupuncture can be combined with facial cupping, Gua Sha for lymphatic drainage and facial sculpting, microcurrent, LED light, or clean skincare products to enhance treatment. Many facial acupuncture clients also experience the benefits of general acupuncture, such as reduced stress and anxiety and better sleep.

Facial acupuncture is one of many tools in the Natural Healthcare Center shed that are used to promote healing and help patients restore and maintain their good health. Our licensed acupuncturists collaborate with our team of clinicians to identify the underlying causes of what’s bothering you and develop a treatment plan that targets the source of the problem.
