Cosmetic Acupuncture — A Natural Beauty Therapy from the Inside Out

Cosmetic acupuncture combines the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meridian theory with modern aesthetic concepts. By gently stimulating specific facial acupuncture points and underlying muscle layers, it helps promote the flow of Qi and blood, regulate internal organ function, and improve skin condition from the inside out—delivering natural, non-invasive, and long-lasting beauty results.

According to TCM, the condition of the skin is closely related to the balance of Qi and blood, as well as the proper functioning of the internal organs. When Qi and blood flow smoothly and yin-yang are in harmony, the skin appears radiant, firm, and healthy. Conversely, imbalances such as Qi deficiency or blood stagnation can lead to dullness, sagging, and fine lines. Cosmetic acupuncture offers the following benefits:

  • Stimulates collagen production to improve skin elasticity and structure
  • Firms and tones facial muscles for a naturally lifted appearance
  • Reduces facial sagging and laxity, enhancing facial contours
  • Brightens skin tone and boosts circulation, promoting a healthy, glowing complexion
  • Softens fine lines and wrinkles, slowing the aging process
  • Regulates the nervous and hormonal systems, supporting anti-aging from within
  • Calms the mind and improves sleep, enhancing overall physical and mental well-being

Cosmetic acupuncture is more than just skin-deep care—it’s a holistic approach to lasting beauty and health.

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture and What Can It Treat?

Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural alternative to Botox, ideal for those who want to reduce wrinkles without injecting toxins. This treatment involves inserting fine acupuncture needles into the face to relax facial muscles and stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, dark circles, and eye bags.

Facial acupuncture is often combined with body acupuncture to address the internal imbalances that may be causing skin issues, supporting beauty from the inside out.

How Long Does Each Session Take?

Each session typically lasts around 60 minutes. After treatment, your skin may appear slightly red; this is normal and usually subsides within a few hours. You can resume normal activities immediately after the session.

Are There Any Aftercare Instructions?

Following treatment, your skin will absorb skincare products more effectively. We recommend using rosehip oil as a natural moisturizer as part of your home skincare routine. Avoid using products with active ingredients such as AHA or BHA, as they may cause irritation post-treatment.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

We recommend one session per week for an initial course of 10–15 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions every 2–6 months. Depending on your age and skin condition, most clients notice visible improvement after 3 to 8 sessions.

Are There Any Risks?

Cosmetic acupuncture has very low risk. Occasionally, the needle may hit a small facial blood vessel, which can cause minor bruising, but this typically resolves on its own.

Are There Any Contraindications?

Yes. Cosmetic acupuncture is not recommended for individuals who are:

  • Pregnant
  • Suffering from high blood pressure
  • Prone to bleeding or bruising easily

Those who have recently undergone microdermabrasion, laser treatments, or chemical peels should wait at least three weeks before receiving cosmetic acupuncture.
