Acupuncture
Facial Rejuvenation
Outer beauty begins with inner beauty.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the health of our skin reflects the balance of our inner world—our emotions, organ systems, and overall vitality. Through facial cupping, gua sha, and facial massage, we promote the smooth flow of blood and lymph, helping to lift and tone the skin, reduce puffiness, and soften lines such as crow’s feet and the “11’s.” The rose facial toner nourishes and soothes, enhancing the natural glow of the complexion, while scalp massage encourages deep relaxation and supports circulation from head to toe.
Facial acupuncture takes this rejuvenation even deeper. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, releases tension held in the facial muscles, and restores harmony to the systems that support radiant skin. Special focus is given to relaxing the jaw—an area where many of us unconsciously hold stress. Releasing this tension not only softens the overall expression of the face but can also ease headaches, TMJ pain, and improve the sense of calm throughout the body.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we address the body as a whole: tension and emotional holding relate to the Liver; sagging or drooping reflect a need to strengthen the Spleen; dull or congested skin often connects to the Stomach and digestion; and wrinkles or dryness link to the Kidneys, which govern vitality, hydration, and aging.
By combining facial rejuvenation techniques with body acupuncture points, this deliciously relaxing 90 minute treatment works from the inside out—uplifting both the skin and the spirit, relaxing the face and mind, and revealing your natural, healthy glow.

While there is a sensation with acupuncture, most people don’t find it to be painful, but actually quite relaxing. The specialized acupuncture needles we use are hair-fine and designed by Japanese acupuncturists to be extremely gentle.

We make sure to assess your goals during your initial intake, because everyone is unique with how frequent they should return for maintenance.

No, acupuncture does not negatively impact your Botox injections. However we do wait one week after the injection once the Botox has its desired effect in the muscles and there isn’t a concern of the acupuncture making it spread to other surrounding tissues or make it wear off more quickly. Most people will use acupuncture to help prolong the therapeutic effect of Botox.

We don’t do acupuncture facials if you have cold sores, or if you are actively going through chemotherapy or radiation treatments. If you are going through oncology treatments, our standard acupuncture treatments would be a much better option.
