Acupuncture involves inserting very fine needles into points along the meridian (a pathway on the body where energy flows). This stimulates nerve branches, which improves blood circulation and has a positive effect on the body’s organs, brain function, digestive system, respiratory function, cardiovascular function, hormones, etc. in order to restore the human body to balance and harmony, thus, healing the injury and/or illness.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural, holistic treatment that uses ultra-fine sterile needles to stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and support healthy, vibrant skin. It may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and elasticity, decrease puffiness and inflammation, and promote a refreshed appearance.
Treatment plans are individualized based on age, skin condition, and health goals. While many patients notice improvements within 4–6 treatments, a series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results. Cosmetic Acupuncture may also provide additional benefits such as stress reduction, improved sleep, and relief of facial muscle tension. Complementary techniques such as facial cupping, gua sha, or microcurrent therapy may be incorporated when appropriate.

In order to discover the root of the imbalance, Chinese medicine uses a four step procedure in examination. They are observation, listening/smelling, inquiry, and palpation. Based on the finding, the practitioner will then be able to prescribe the proper treatment to correct the imbalance.
Certain sensations are expected such as tingling, numbness, and pressure. This is called “de qi” (arrival of energy). Otherwise it is not painful at all.
No. It is normal to feel a ‘good tiredness’ (relaxed) feeling after the session. The energy flows best when the body is not stressed out.
