FAQ's- Cosmetic Acupuncture

What is cosmetic acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial rejuvenation acupuncture, is a natural and non-invasive treatment that uses fine needles to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues. It promotes collagen production, improves circulation, and enhances the skin’s overall tone and elasticity, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

How does cosmetic acupuncture work?
By inserting fine needles into specific points on the face and body, cosmetic acupuncture increases blood flow and stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. This encourages collagen and elastin production, helping to lift, tone, and firm the skin while also addressing overall wellness by balancing the body’s energy systems.

What are the benefits of cosmetic acupuncture?
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

Treats acne, rosacea, and other skin conditions.

Is cosmetic acupuncture safe?
Yes! Cosmetic acupuncture is a safe and minimally invasive procedure when performed by a licensed and trained practitioner. The needles are extremely fine, sterile, and single-use, minimizing any risk of infection or irritation.

Does cosmetic acupuncture hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild or painless. The needles are much thinner than those used in other medical procedures, and the experience is often relaxing.

How many treatments will I need?
Results are typically seen after 5–7 sessions, with a series of 10–12 treatments recommended for optimal results. Maintenance sessions every 4–6 weeks are advised to prolong the benefits.

Are there any side effects?
Cosmetic acupuncture has minimal side effects. Some clients may experience slight redness or minor bruising at the needle sites, but these effects are temporary and usually subside within a day or two.

Who is a good candidate for cosmetic acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture is suitable for most individuals looking for a natural, holistic approach to skincare. It is particularly effective for those who want to reduce signs of aging, improve skin conditions, or enhance their overall appearance without resorting to invasive treatments.

How does cosmetic acupuncture differ from Botox or fillers?
Unlike Botox or fillers, which involve injecting substances into the skin, cosmetic acupuncture works with the body’s natural processes. It enhances skin health and appearance holistically without the use of chemicals or synthetic materials.

How long do the results last?
Results vary, but with a full treatment series and regular maintenance, the effects of cosmetic acupuncture can last for months. Maintenance sessions help to prolong and enhance results.

Can I combine cosmetic acupuncture with other treatments?
