FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
WHAT IS FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE?
Facial Acupuncture is a TCM Acupuncture treatment that uses ultra-fine needles on selected facial acupoints to support facial circulation, skin vitality and overall skin health. It is a gentle, non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation, suitable for those looking for a natural complement to their skincare routine.
Treatments are performed by MOH-licensed TCM physicians and personalised based on your skin concerns, body constitution and underlying imbalances. This allows Facial Acupuncture to support healthier-looking skin from within, rather than focusing only on surface-level appearance.
By taking both your skin concerns and body constitution into consideration, Facial Acupuncture supports local skin health while promoting overall wellness.
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.

FAQ
Is facial acupuncture painful?
Most patients describe facial acupuncture as a mild sensation. You might feel a gentle prick, slight tingling or subtle pressure as the needles are inserted. These are normal indications that Qi and Blood circulation are being stimulated.
Your comfort is our priority. Please communicate any discomfort to your physician, who can adjust the needles as needed.
How much does facial acupuncture cost?
How soon will I see results?
Some patients observe a natural glow or improved skin tone after just one session. For more significant, long-term improvements—such as firmer skin or reduced breakouts—a series of sessions is typically recommended.
Is facial acupuncture safe?
Yes, when performed by our licensed and experienced physicians. We follow strict hygiene protocols, and our needles are sterile and single-use to ensure your safety and comfort.
Can acupuncture be combined with other forms of treatment?
Absolutely. It is often paired with herbal medication or Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT), to support deeper healing and more visible skin improvements. Your physician will guide you on what’s most suitable for your skin and health profile
Are there any side effects of acupuncture?
Side effects are rare and generally mild. These may include slight redness, temporary tenderness, or small, minor bruises at the needle sites. Such effects typically resolve on their own within a day or two.
For your safety, always ensure you engage licensed physicians for TCM treatments. Should you experience any unusual discomfort, please call us immediately at +65 8087 0486 for advice from your physicians.
How is facial acupuncture different from Bojin facial?
Bojin facial (撥筋) is a TCM-based technique that uses a tool to stimulate facial meridians and fascia, with a focus on lifting, contouring, and relieving muscle tension. Facial Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific acupoints to stimulate collagen production, Blood circulation and internal balance.
While both are natural approaches to facial wellness, Facial Acupuncture is often recommended for those seeking longer-term anti-ageing support, including the gradual reduction of fine lines and wrinkles over time. The most suitable choice depends on your skin concerns, body constitution and treatment goals. Your physician can advise during consultation.
