Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural, whole-body approach to healthy aging, skin vitality, and overall wellness. Rather than targeting the surface alone, treatment works by improving circulation, regulating the nervous system, and addressing the internal patterns that influence how the skin looks and feels. The result is a gentle, gradual improvement in tone, texture, hydration, and brightness alongside broader benefits for stress, sleep, digestion, and hormonal balance.

Two appointment options are available, both beginning with a full intake and a body treatment to address the underlying patterns affecting the face. Each session includes long needle retention and high-quality, TCM-informed skincare selected for your unique needs. TOMA Skincare is used for its clean, plant-based formulations that pair beautifully with cosmetic acupuncture.

The Core Appointment 

Ideal for those with busy schedules, a preference for simplicity, or anyone who wants the core benefits of cosmetic acupuncture without the additional hands-on work. This session includes a full intake, body acupuncture, facial points, long needle retention, and customized skincare.  Restorative, effective, and complete.

The Enhanced Appointment 

For a deeper level of care, the extended session follows a structured, intentional flow. After intake, body acupuncture points are placed to support the underlying patterns contributing to the skin's presentation. Manual lymphatic drainage for the neck and lower face encourages circulation, fluid movement, and natural contour. Facial points are then placed, followed by a restorative rest period. Once the needles are removed, the treatment transitions into skincare application with facial massage, gua sha, and facial cupping to lift, sculpt, and release tension. This sequence is deeply relaxing and often leaves clients feeling refreshed, grounded, and noticeably brighter.

Cosmetic Acupuncture and Injectables 

Cosmetic acupuncture can be safely combined with facial injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers. For the best outcomes and to ensure tissues have fully settled, a conservative four-week waiting period after any injection-based treatment is preferred before beginning cosmetic acupuncture.

Treatment Course 

A typical course involves one session per week for ten weeks, or two sessions per week for five weeks. Some clients choose occasional stand-alone sessions throughout the year to maintain results, manage stress, or prepare for a special event. Cosmetic acupuncture is most effective as a series but can absolutely be enjoyed as a single treatment for relaxation and glow.

Because each session includes a full body treatment, a portion of the appointment may be eligible for coverage under extended health plans that include acupuncture benefits.
