FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
WHAT IS FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE?
Facial Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate the skin and underlying muscles, promoting better circulation, natural collagen production, and overall skin vitality. It’s a gentle, holistic way to lift, firm, and enhance your skin’s natural glow—without surgery or cosmetic injectables.
HOW IT HELPS
BOOST CIRCULATION AND GLOW
Healthy skin stems from a harmonious flow of Qi and Blood. Facial acupuncture enhances this vital circulation to the face, ensuring skin cells receive ample oxygen and nutrients. Simultaneously, it supports the skin’s natural detoxification processes, helping to clear impurities and promote cellular renewal.
This combined nourishment and purification leads to a brighter, more radiant complexion, truly awakening your skin’s innate luminosity.
TONE AND TIGHTEN FACIAL MUSCLES [1]
Sagging skin and loss of facial definition are often attributed to a weakening of Spleen Qi and a decline in the upward-lifting action of Qi.
Facial acupuncture works by targeting specific facial muscles and the associated meridians (energetic pathways through which Qi flows). This gentle yet powerful stimulation helps to improve muscle tone and firmness, counteracting the effects of gravity and age. By strengthening the facial muscles and promoting the upward movement of Qi, facial acupuncture naturally lifts and sculpts the face, giving you a more youthful appearance without invasive procedures.
REDUCE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES [2]
The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles often signifies a depletion of Kidney Essence (also known as Jing) and a decline in Yin, leading to dryness and a loss of elasticity.
Facial acupuncture encourages the natural production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins for skin firmness and elasticity. The insertion of fine needles creates microscopic “micro-traumas” that signal the body’s natural healing response, directing Qi and Blood to the area. This influx of vital energy and nutrients stimulates collagen and elastin production. This helps to soften the appearance of fine lines, smooth wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture.
EVEN SKIN TONE AND TEXTURE [3]
Uneven skin tone, rough texture, and pigmentation issues are often linked to Blood Stagnation and imbalances in Liver Qi. A sluggish flow of Blood and Qi can lead to dullness, dark spots, and a lacklustre complexion.
Facial acupuncture helps to promote healthy circulation and smooth the flow of Qi, revitalising skin function from within. By enhancing the transport of nutrients and the removal of waste, it supports cellular renewal and improves overall skin clarity. This helps to reduce visible pigmentation and rough patches, resulting in a more even, radiant, and vibrant complexion.
CALM ACNE AND INFLAMMATION [4]
Acne and inflammatory skin conditions are frequently associated with Heat and Dampness accumulation in the body, often linked to imbalances in the Lung, Spleen, or Stomach meridians.
Facial acupuncture helps manage acne by clearing this excess Heat and resolving Dampness. By strategically placing needles, it can reduce inflammation, calm red and swollen areas, and promote detoxification. It supports the skin’s natural healing process, helping to regulate oil production, reduce breakouts, and improve the appearance of scars over time.
