What is Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture?
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a comprehensive, effective treatment for improving muscle tone, reducing puffiness, and minimizing fine lines. Acupuncture — the insertion of tiny needles in specific points along your face — also reduces sagging skin and increases blood flow to your face and oxygenates the cells to prevent and combat the signs of aging.
Your body reacts to these tiny punctures by going into “repair mode” and through stimulation of your lymphatic and circulatory systems. Together, these systems attempt to heal your “wounds” from the tiny needles by sending oxygen and other nutrients to nourish your skin from within. The needles also stimulate collagen production to minimize lines and increase elasticity.
As a result of these changes, you may notice a more even skin tone and a brighter outward appearance.
What are the benefits of facial rejuvenation acupuncture?

What can I expect during my appointment?
