Cosmetic Acupuncture for Glowing, Healthy Skin & Hair
Microneedling and Cosmetic Acupuncture encompasses a group of gentle, non-surgical, holistic acupuncture treatments that are safe and effective for restoring youthfulness on the face and body.
Fine lines may be eliminated, deeper wrinkles reduced in appearance, and bags around neck and eyes firmed. Patients can expect to look well-rested with a youthful glow, often compared to looking around 5 years younger after completing a prescribed course of treatment. Don’t be surprised to hear from friends and family, “You look great, what have you done differently?”
This infographic can help you determine which options may work best for you.
We recommend starting with a Free Cosmetic Consult so that our providers can determine the best course of therapy to meet your cosmetic goals.
Cosmetic Acupuncture Benefits
Benefits to the face include:
- Improvement in collagen production and muscle tone
- Helps reduce bags and sagging tendencies
- Helps eliminate fine lines and diminish the appearance of deeper wrinkles
- Firms the skin around the eyes and on the neck
- Helps dark circles appear lighter
- Tightens pores and brightens eyes
- Increases local blood and lymph circulation

As with all acupuncture treatment, treating one part of the body does not happen in isolation. The meridian pathways connect all body systems, organs, and parts to one another through circuits of Qi, like traffic traveling on connecting highways. Thus, we can treat the whole body by way of acupuncture points on the face alone.
This is sometimes referred to as “holographic” medicine – the whole (body) is represented on the part (face). As such, Cosmetic Acupuncture can benefit a host of conditions, in addition to restoring a youthful appearance on the face.
Some conditions addressed Cosmetic Acupuncture addresses include:
- Acne, by way of correcting hormonal imbalances
- Sinus congestion and headache
- Toothache, TMJ, trigeminal neuralgia, and Bell’s palsy
- Headaches (except severe migraine)
- Diarrhea, constipation, and other digestive issues
- Edema, water retention, puffiness
- Eye, ear, and brain disorders
- Insomnia, dizziness, and vertigo
- Depression by way of enhancing self-esteem
- Reduces stress and promotes total health and well-being
Cosmetic Acupuncture Services
We offer two different service types within the Cosmetic Acupuncture umbrella. These are Microneedling and Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture. Depending on your treatment goals, one or a combination of both may be best suited to achieve your desired results. Read more about the different options below, and be sure to contact us with your questions.
Microneedling: A Key to Radiant, Youthful Skin
At the heart of our cosmetic acupuncture services is microneedling, a minimally invasive technique designed to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. Microneedling involves the use of tiny, sterile needles that create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries encourage your skin to produce more collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that help maintain a firm, youthful appearance.
This procedure is incredibly effective at treating a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne scars and texture
- Enlarged pores
Through consistent microneedling treatments, you can expect smoother, plumper skin that radiates health and vitality. Unlike more invasive cosmetic procedures, microneedling with acupuncture promotes natural healing and does not require extended recovery time. Best of all, it’s an effective and non-surgical alternative to achieve long-lasting results.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture: A Natural Lift
In addition to microneedling, we also offer facial rejuvenation acupuncture, an age-old technique designed to harmonize the body’s energy and promote youthful, glowing skin.
This method uses very fine, sterile needles that are carefully placed into specific acupuncture points on the face and body.
These acupuncture points help to:
- Stimulate collagen production
- Increase blood flow to the face
- Balance hormonal energy
- Reduce stress and tension
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture can soften the appearance of wrinkles, lift sagging skin, improve skin tone, and reduce puffiness—all while offering a relaxing and calming experience. By addressing both the internal and external causes of aging, facial rejuvenation acupuncture encourages a more youthful and vibrant appearance, naturally.

Scheduling Details:
Microneedling results in temporary reddening of the face and sometimes minor bleeding. Skin must be shielded from sunlight for the first 12 hours after the procedure. For most people, the redness disappears within 12-48 hours. Due to natural differences in how each person may respond to treatment, we recommend scheduling your microneedling treatments 1-2 weeks before any special occasion or occasion when your photograph may be taken.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture does not generally have downtime for most people. However, the face is particularly vascular and bruising, while uncommon, is possible. For this reason, we recommend scheduling your facial rejuvenation treatments at least one week before any special occasion or occasion when your photograph may be taken, just to be on the safe side. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture does not require a consult (although you are welcome to book one if you have questions), and can be booked online or by calling our office at 410-697-1235.
If you would like to book your first Constitutional Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatment, please note that not all current openings are shown on our online booking site. If you don’t find what you need there, please add yourself to the waitlist or give us a call at 410-697-1235. Follow-ups for this treatment type can be easily booked online.
