Facial Rejuvenation & Microneedling

Cosmetic Acupuncture for Facial Rejuvenation – A Holistic, Toxin-Free Way to Achieve Radiant, Glowing Skin

Cosmetic acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the face is seen as a reflection of internal health and balance.

The face is viewed as a living map of a person’s physical, emotional, and energetic history.

Expression patterns, tension, and changes in the complexion are all seen as part of the story the body is telling over time.

Cosmetic acupuncture works deeper than the surface.

By treating the face, we are also supporting the release of habitual tension patterns and encouraging a more relaxed, open expression.

Many people experience this as not only improved skin tone and texture, but also a sense of softening in the face that reflects an internal unwinding—supporting both emotional balance and graceful aging.

I also combine microneedling, nanoneedling, and LED light therapy with traditional acupuncture techniques to activate the skin’s natural regenerative processes—supporting healthier, brighter, and more radiant skin that helps you look and feel your best.

How Cosmetic Acupuncture Works

  • Activates Qi and blood flow to the face

  • Improves circulation to the skin and facial muscles

  • Stimulates facial muscles to lift and tone

  • Moves stagnation to promote lymphatic drainage

  • Encourages collagen and elastin production

  • Restores moisture and hydration

  • Enhances overall skin tone and radiance

Cosmetic Acupuncture Results

  • Softened fine lines and wrinkles

  • Lifted and toned jowls, jawline, neck, and eye area

  • Reduced darkness and puffiness under the eyes

  • Improved hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone

  • Reduced inflammation to help combat acne

  • Brighter, more radiant, and glowing complexion

Cosmetic Treatments Include

  • Whole body and facial acupuncture treatment 

  • Facial Gua Sha and cupping 

  • Celluma Light Therapy

It takes time for collagen to build. For maximum benefits, 12 weekly sessions are recommended and monthly maintenance thereafter.

These treatments can be used in conjunction with botox and fillers but you will need to wait 2 weeks to receive any cosmetic acupuncture treatments. Contraindicated in pregnancy.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a clinically proven treatment that stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, and supports overall skin health.

The treatment works by using ultra-fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which activate the body’s natural repair process. In response, the skin increases production of collagen and elastin, helping to strengthen and rejuvenate the skin from within.

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven tone, and overall texture, delivering visible results with minimal downtime.

In California, licensed acupuncturists are legally permitted to perform medical-grade microneedling. This allows us to offer the same professional level of treatment you would receive in a dermatologist’s office or medical spa, while approaching skin health through a holistic and integrative lens.

Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes it is safe. However, sensitive skin may react more easily, so treatments are customized with gentler depths, and careful aftercare to minimize irritation.

  • Yes. You are not candidate for microneedling if you have:

    • Active acne, infections, or open wounds in the treatment area
       (bacterial, viral, or fungal)

    • Active cold sores/herpes outbreak
       (you may need antiviral medication prior to treatment)

    • Active eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea flare-ups

    • Keloid scarring or a history of hypertrophic scars

    • Uncontrolled diabetes or conditions that impair wound healing

    • Bleeding disorders or are taking blood thinners

    • Recent radiation therapy or chemotherapy

    • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

    • Recent sunburn or significant skin inflammation

    • Use of isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6–12 months


  • Yes. It’s recommended to stop using retinol or any prescription-strength retinoids for 7-14 days before microneedling.

  • The recommended course of treatment is once a month for 3 -6 months, then maintenance every 4-6 months thereafter.

  • Your face might look red, similar to a bad sunburn, for 1-2 days and then dry for another 1-2 days. You will want to be mindful of the sun for a week post treatment. Avoid intense exercise, sauna, baths, for the first 48 hours.

  • This layering approach helps:

    • Stimulate collagen (microneedling)

    • Improve product penetration and glow (nanoneedling)

    • Support systemic and facial balance (acupuncture)

    Microneedling: every 4–6 weeks 

    Nanoneedling: in between sessions (every 1–2 weeks) 

    Cosmetic acupuncture: weekly or biweekly alongside either



Nanoneedling

Nanoneedling is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses tiny silicone tips to create microchannels in the skin, enhancing serum absorption and improving texture, hydration, and overall radiance with little to no downtime.

It can be performed weekly and is often combined with cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling for optimal results—supporting collagen production, boosting product penetration, and promoting both skin health and overall balance.
