Acupuncture can work for many ailments and one of the most exciting is acupuncture on the face. It has been around for thousands of years but recently has been in the media with celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Whitney Cummings, Kim Kardashian, Angelina Jolie, and others. It is safe, extremely gentle, and effective! Best of all it does not require poisonous injections, fillers, or any down time away from work or family. In addition to improving digestion, immunity, and circulation, facial rejuvenation or aesthetic acupuncture is a great way to slow the aging process and improve your appearance by helping the body to carry nutrients to cells, which stimulates increased collagen and elastin production. Facial rejuvenation will reduce inflammation, improve texture, help facelifts last longer, and minimize the appearance of fine lines, discolorations, and scars. You will have a glow and still look like you.
The first appointment lasts about 2 hours, and follow ups are 60-90 minutes. For best results it is recommended to come twice a week and for at least 10 treatments. Maintenance appointments are suggested every 4-8 weeks for lasting results. Treatments include a relaxing facial cupping and gua sha treatment. You must come in with a clean face or you can purchase one of our many natural facial products. Packages are available.
A series of treatments can:
- Encourage good health and an overall feeling of wellbeing
- Lead to a reduction in stress being reflected in facial features

Facial rejuvenation is not for everyone. It is not for someone who has high blood pressure, migraines, diabetes, seizures, epilepsy, hepatitis or coronary disease. It is also not advised for someone who gets botox or who is currently pregnant. Consult your provider to see how long after getting botox it is recommended to get acupuncture.
