Beauty from within
The wish to look young and beautiful is nothing new. People have always felt it, including in ancient China. That is why facial acupuncture was already being practised in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is over 2,500 years old.
​
True beauty comes from within, as we all know. It reflects your health and vitality. So beauty is not only about a fresher-looking face, but also about supporting your overall health.

There are many ways to rejuvenate the skin. But if you are looking for a holistic approach to both beauty and health, facial acupuncture is a natural, low-risk option that:
Supports the appearance and condition of your skin
​
Rejuvenates your face in a gentle, non-surgical way
Eases tension in your jaw, neck and facial muscles
Combines a facial treatment with support for your overall wellbeing

How does it work?
It stimulates collagen production by kick-starting the skin's natural healing process.
It improves circulation by widening the blood vessels in the face.
It balances muscle tone: overactive muscles relax and slack muscles gain more tone.
People sometimes think facial acupuncture is the same as micro-needling. That is understandable, as both use fine needles.
​
Micro-needling, however, only stimulates the healing process that boosts collagen production.
Facial acupuncture versus micro-needling
Facial acupuncture also works on the muscle activity in the face, helping to relax overactive muscles. This means it can help with wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, such as the fine lines around the corners of your eyes or between your eyebrows from smiling and frowning.
Stimulation on several levels
By combining facial acupuncture with other approaches, such as body acupuncture, ear acupuncture and/or herbal medicine, we can also work on things that affect how you look on the outside, starting from within such as:
• Poor sleep
• Stress and emotional tension
• Sluggish circulation
• Hormonal changes that come with ageing
Results
Facial acupuncture works gradually and the effects build up over time. After 1 to 3 treatments you may already notice a fresher glow, but the full effect comes after a complete course of 8 to 12 treatments.
What you can expect to see:
• Better hydrated skin
• More supple, elastic skin
• Smoother skin texture
• Fewer visible fine lines and wrinkles
Research shows that the effect is strongest around 8 to 12 weeks after the end of the course.
After that, you can book a maintenance treatment every 4 to 6 weeks.
The end result? Lovelier skin and feeling better in your own skin.
After botox or filler treatments, we recommend waiting 2 to 4 weeks before starting facial acupuncture.
