1.Go to the scheduling page and click on the tile for “New Patient Facial Acupuncture Consultation.” This will allow you to get scheduled for your initial consultation.

2. Schedule your consultation. During this consult we will discuss your health history, as well as your facial concerns, goals, and expectations. Once all of your questions are answered, and facial acupuncture seems like a good fit for you, we will get you scheduled for your treatment visits.

Facial acupuncture is offered as a structured ten treatment program because results build over time.

Included in the program is an educational video series that includes lymphatic health, facial acupressure, gua sha practices, and other kinds of self-care.

The ten treatment program is discounted to $1500 when it is purchased at the start of care.

Maintenance visits or pay-at-the-time of service visits cost $180.

Please see the scheduling page for details.

The standard protocol is ten treatments scheduled once per week over 10 weeks.

Facial acupuncture works cumulatively by retraining the skin, muscles, and fascia, and by supporting the body’s regenerative processes over time.

The ten treatment protocol allows:

• Consistent stimulation of collagen and elastin production
• Progressive improvement in circulation and tissue tone
• Deeper balancing of qi and blood
• Longer lasting and more stable results
• A noticeable difference that others comment on

Some people see changes quickly, while others notice gradual shifts over the full series. Results vary from person to person depending on their overall health and the complexity of their skin and health history.

After the initial series, maintenance is recommended according to your unique skin and health history.

Like going to the gym, results are strengthened through consistency.

Facial acupuncture is considered very low risk because the needling is superficial.

Possible side effects include:

• Mild redness
• Temporary tenderness
• Occasional bruising

Bruising is the most common side-effect and is temporary.

There is no surgical downtime and you are able to return to normal activities immediately.

Because facial acupuncture works with the body rather than against it, it is one of the lowest risk options available for facial rejuvenation.

During your treatment time, you will rest comfortably while very fine needles are placed in specific areas of the face and body.

After the acupuncture, facial gua sha and/or cupping will create circulation and smooth out your skin tone.

Treatments typically last about 60-75 minutes.

Over the course of the series, you may notice:

• Softer skin
• Reduced puffiness
• Improved tone and clarity
• Subtle lifting
• Increased brightness
• A more rested appearance

Some people see changes quickly. Others notice gradual improvement. Results vary depending on overall health and tissue condition.

Please read my blog post: Your Original Face

Facial acupuncture is not just cosmetic; it is rooted in Chinese Medicine and supported by a deep understanding of internal health, lymphatic flow, and tissue integrity.

I focus not only on stimulating collagen, but on:

• Supporting lymphatic drainage
• Improving circulation, tone, clarity, and glow
• Addressing internal imbalances
• Teaching you at-home maintenance, like overall skin care and self-massage practices

These muscular masks that we wear (aka. our faces) hold a huge amount of tension and emotion. Receiving facial rejuvenation acupuncture (especially in a series) clears layer upon layer of emotional, energetic, fascial and muscular “debris” that we pick up from just the act of living.

I love being part of making women feel lighter and more confident in their skin!

Facial acupuncture is a specialized system designed specifically for facial rejuvenation and to treat the complex imbalances of the head, neck, and jaw.

While it is rooted in traditional acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, the technique, needle placement, and treatment goals are different.

Regular acupuncture focuses primarily on internal health conditions such as pain, digestion, stress, or hormonal balance.

Facial acupuncture combines internal balancing with precise facial needling to:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin
• Support lymphatic drainage
• Improve circulation to the face
• Refine tone and contour

It is both cosmetic and therapeutic. You receive the benefits of whole body acupuncture along with targeted facial rejuvenation.

 Botox and fillers temporarily alter muscle movement or add volume.

Facial acupuncture works by stimulating your body’s natural repair processes.

With facial acupuncture:

• Nothing artificial is added
• Facial expression remains natural
• Collagen production is stimulated gradually
• Circulation and lymphatic flow improve
• Internal health is supported at the same time

The results are more subtle and natural looking than injectables.

Rather than freezing or filling, facial acupuncture restores tone, clarity, and definition over time.

The goal is glow and rejuvenation without a forced or altered look.

Facial acupuncture is safe for most healthy adults, but there are certain situations where treatment may need to be postponed or modified.

You may not be a good candidate if you:

• Are currently pregnant
• Have uncontrolled high blood pressure
• Have a severe skin infection or active facial infection
• Have recently had facial surgery and have not fully healed
• Have unrealistic expectations about results

In addition, individuals with extensive sun damage, heavy smoking history, or chronic alcohol use may require more treatments to achieve optimal results.

A consultation is always performed before beginning treatment to ensure that facial acupuncture is appropriate and safe for you.

Facial Acupuncture is helpful for other health conditions, especially those related to lymphatic stagnation and fluid retention:

• Post stroke paralysis
• Jaw and neck stagnation related to TMJ or chronic tension
• Bell’s Palsy
• Facial and cervical lymphatic congestion
• Puffiness and fluid retention in the face or neck
• Thyroid nodules or thyroid related lymphatic congestion
• Post breast cancer treatment support, including lymphatic stagnation following surgery or radiation
• Post surgical lymphatic congestion
• Post Mohs surgery or other dermatologic procedures
• Scar treatment including surgical scars, trauma scars, and post procedural scarring
• Chronic sinus congestion
