Advanced Facial Acupuncture

A Natural Approach to Healthy, Radiant Skin

About Advanced Facial Acupuncture

Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that supports healthy skin while promoting overall health and well-being. Rather than focusing solely on the surface of the skin, this treatment combines facial acupuncture with constitutional body acupuncture to address both cosmetic concerns and the underlying patterns that may influence how your skin looks and feels.

Using the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine alongside modern facial acupuncture techniques, ultra-fine sterile needles are placed in carefully selected areas of the face and body. Treatment is designed to promote local circulation, relax facial muscles, and support the skin's natural repair and renewal processes. Many patients seek Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture to help soften the appearance of fine lines, improve skin tone and texture, reduce puffiness, and promote a healthier, more refreshed complexion.

Each treatment is customized to your individual goals and incorporates advanced techniques from Michelle Gellis' Facial Acupuncture training and Mary Elizabeth Wakefield's Constitutional Facial Acupuncture approach.

Depending on your individual treatment plan, your session may include:

  • Cosmetic facial acupuncture
  • Constitutional body acupuncture
  • Facial gua sha
  • Facial cupping
  • LED light therapy

Our goal is to support healthy skin while promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and encouraging balance throughout the body.
