Facial Acupuncture: The Needles You Need

Laozi

"Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy."

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain.

Why they're the needles you need

01.

Are facial needles different than body needles?

The needles for the face are tinnier than the body needles and are especially made to be gentle. They are placed on energetic points on the face, these are points on meridians that run in lines along the body, as well in strategic spots according to individual needs.

02.

Is anything injected?

Absolutely not, this is not botox or any kind of filler of toxins. Acupuncture is specifically a small needle targeting energetic points.


03.

Are there visible results?

Results vary person to person and depend on the history of the persons skincare, however greater radiance and better sculpted facial muscles are some of the immediate results!

04.

How Long do the results last?

Results depending on each person, their lifestyle, skincare routine, and stage of health and balance. Most treatments are meant to build upon one another so a series of ten treatments are the most effective and then can be dialed back for maintenance.

05.

What are the benefits?

You can see results such as:
- Brightened complexion.
- Reduced acne.
- Minimized pores.
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
