Cosmetic Acupuncture at a glance
Cosmetic acupuncture, also called facial acupuncture, places very fine needles at points on the face and body to improve circulation, stimulate collagen and relax facial tension. It is a natural, injection-free way to soften fine lines, lift and tone the face and give the skin a healthy glow, while also supporting overall wellbeing.
How cosmetic acupuncture works
Each tiny needle creates a micro-stimulus that increases blood flow to the face and encourages the skin to produce collagen. Points on the face relax tight muscles, such as frown lines and a clenched jaw, while points on the body support digestion, sleep and stress, which all show on the skin.
What makes it different
Unlike injectables, cosmetic acupuncture does not freeze or fill. It works with your body to improve skin quality gradually, so results look natural. It also fits well with our anti-ageing facials and RF skin tightening.
Course and results
A typical course is ten to twelve sessions, once or twice a week, followed by monthly maintenance. Many clients notice brighter skin and a more relaxed, lifted look after the first few sessions.

Cosmetic Acupuncture: frequently asked questions
Is facial acupuncture safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained practitioner with sterile, single-use needles. It is one of the gentlest anti-ageing options available.
Will facial acupuncture leave marks?
Usually not. Occasionally a tiny bruise can appear and fades within a few days. We advise avoiding important events right after your first session.
How many cosmetic acupuncture sessions are needed?
A course of ten to twelve sessions gives the best results, followed by monthly maintenance.
Can cosmetic acupuncture be combined with facials?
Yes. It combines well with HydraFacial, oxygen facials and RF skin tightening for a complete non-surgical rejuvenation plan.
Results vary from person to person. Session numbers and timelines are typical guides that we confirm at your consultation. Acupuncture and wellness therapies complement, and do not replace, care from your doctor. Read our medical disclaimer.
