Cosmetic acupuncture is a safe and natural way to effectively improve skin tone, elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve complexion. This treatment involves the insertion of fine needles into the face and body. This process increases blood flow to the face, helps to shed dead skin cells and can stimulate your body’s own production of collagen. The needles stimulate the flow of energy (Qi) to the face and body which can help reduce the tension of facial muscles and improve overall health. This process increases oxygenation levels through microcirculation which aids in detoxification and reduces facial puffiness.  In addition to the facial benefits, points may also be added to address headaches, anxiety, stress, and mood and many more concerns that may be affecting your skin. When it comes to skin – facial acupuncture can be used to treat dry skin, acne, scarring, rosacea, dark spots and wrinkles.
