FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
Charlotte, NC | Fort Mill, SC
Facial Acupuncture
Facial Acupuncture is your healthy option for looking and feeling younger. It is a safe, natural, drug-free, and effective way to keep you looking and feeling your best.
Facial Acupuncture is the only whole health option for cosmetic improvements currently available to women and men. It is the “true anti-aging medicine”. It is the answer to aging gracefully and beautifully! We don’t just treat wrinkles, we treat the whole body to help slow the aging process - by addressing issues that age us, such as stress, digestion, sleep, and more. You will look better in part because you will feel better.
Cosmetic acupuncture is specifically designed to improve facial appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving facial muscle tone, and rejuvenating dull, lifeless, or aging skin. Through the micro-stimulation of points on the face, natural collagen and elastin production is built up. This leaves the face more supple and smooth, while minimizing fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Cosmetic acupuncture can also be used to treat acne, rosacea, and dark circles under the eyes. We all know that life can be stressful - cosmetic acupuncture is a relaxing, fun way to add some self care to your week.
What to expect in a treatment
During the intake your practitioner will ask you about your concerns and goals for your treatment. They will then ask targeted questions to help determine what other internal imbalances you might have. In traditional Chinese medicine facial analysis is used to determine internal imbalances. For example, frown lines between your eyebrows point towards an imbalance with liver energy, dark circles under your eyes can lead us to ask questions to determine the health of your kidney energy. Beauty is the exterior manifestation of interior health, you never look your best when you are feeling unwell. The key to facial rejuvenation acupuncture is to focus on your overall health and beauty will follow closely behind.
Once your TCM pattern has been determined and specific acu points have been chosen for your treatment, very fine needles will be inserted into points on your body as well as your face. Needles will also be placed in fine lines and wrinkles causing a natural production of collagen which creates a softening of lines and wrinkles. After resting with the needles for 30 minutes your acupuncturist will remove the needles and perform a brief facial Guasha massage using a jade tool. Acupuncture facial Gua sha is a simple and gentle massage technique that increases the circulation and lymphatic flow in your face. The Guasha tool allows us to get deeper into the fascia than by massaging with fingers alone. Cosmetic acupuncture leaves you looking and feeling your best.

How many treatments are needed?
Visible results can be seen after the first treatment. Dramatic and long lasting changes generally occur with a series of 18-20 consecutive sessions. Sessions are 1 1/2 hours long and administered twice a week for the 1st 6 weeks and once per week for the last 6 weeks. You must commit to consecutive treatments (3 months total) to get the results you desire and get the long lasting effects that you desire. Following this course of treatment, monthly or seasonal sessions are recommended for maintenance. Results can last from 2 to 5 years especially when you receive maintenance treatments periodically.
As always, each individual responds uniquely and the number of sessions and results may vary, but many individuals report noticeable improvements after only a few sessions. Owing to each person’s uniqueness, a package/series of treatments is the most beneficial in making sure that results are achieved. While some people may notice positive changes in 1-2 treatments, some may not until the 4th or 5th treatment. Only getting 1-2 treatments may not be enough to begin the reversal of the signs of age.
