What Your Treatment Would Look Like
Your treatment will begin with gentle facial cupping to distribute blood and nutrients throughout the face and drain stagnant lymphatic fluids from the face and down the neck.
Next, extra-fine intradermal acupuncture needles (3mm) focus on repairing the weakened lines (pesky wrinkles!). Regular acupuncture needles focus on stimulating both fine lines and muscular tone in the face. Your facial rejuvenation treatment will last between 75 and 90 minutes. Every practitioner’s methods vary. Some opt to combine intradermal and regular needles, while others use regular needles only for both tone and fine lines.
In addition to your facial treatment, our acupuncturists will then select points along the body for a more systemic treatment. This will help balance and boost the body while relaxing the mind, supporting the aging process. This is similar to your regular acupuncture sessions. If we’ve been addressing your sore knee or those nagging headaches in your regular sessions, we can still address these symptoms during your facial session!
How often do I need treatment?
Traditionally, facial acupuncture is intended as a treatment series that can be repeated at your convenience every 2-5 years. It is recommended to have 8-10 treatments, starting with weekly sessions for 4 weeks, then switching to bi-weekly to monthly for the remainder. However, some choose to use this treatment on an as-needed basis. It’s up to you! Quarterly maintenance is recommended once the initial series is complete. All individuals are unique, and as a result, outcomes do vary. This is not intended as an extreme intervention for skincare but rather as a gentle lift and boost of the face.
