  IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON FACIAL & COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE:
  Facial and cosmetic acupuncture REQUIRES CONSISTENCY AND REPETITION TO WORK!
  For best results, a recommended course of cosmetic acupuncture is typically 10 treatments, usually at a frequency of 1-2x per week.

To make this more affordable, we offer skincare programs to discount consistent sessions.

We structure treatments based on the body’s own renewal process – it takes 28 days for skin

cells to regenerate, and up to 12 weeks for collagen to naturally rebuild.

Everyone responds differently to acupuncture and each acupuncture treatment is individualized according to how each person is aging.

While it does not produce the same kind of dramatic results as botox or other invasive procedures, facial acupuncture helps the face look more youthful and radiant without any potentially dangerous side effects.

Most patients start to see significant improvements in their skin within the first 5-7 treatments, and notice that they not only look younger but they feel younger and healthier overall.

Once an initial course of treatments is completed, maintenance treatments once per month or once per season can be great for sustained, long term results.

The effects of facial acupuncture rejuvenation are cumulative and can last up to 3-5 years.
