facial acupuncture
Facial acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture, is a holistic approach to skincare that involves stimulating specific points on the face, neck, and body with fine needles to promote overall health and rejuvenation of the skin. This practice draws from both Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and modern techniques to address various skin concerns and improve the appearance of the skin.
Procedure
During a facial acupuncture session, fine needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points on the face, neck, and body to stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and relax facial muscles. Additional techniques such as gwa Sha, facial cupping, LED light therapy and derma rolling may also be incorporated to enhance the results.
benefits

results
Unlike surgical procedures or chemical treatments like Botox or peels, facial acupuncture is considered safe and free from side effects.
The recommended treatment cycle typically involves weekly sessions for up to 12-24 weeks to reduce wrinkles, with additional sessions for acne treatment depending on severity. Consistency and patience are key to achieving optimal results.
Combination Techniques
Yvonne offers advanced facial treatments that combine various techniques such as traditional Chinese medicine, LED light therapy, Gua Sha, micro needling, mask application, and jade rolling to address specific skin concerns and promote relaxation.
LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy harnesses red, blue, and near-infrared wavelengths to stimulate collagen, improve circulation, clear acne-causing bacteria, and soothe inflammation. This gentle, non-invasive treatment delivers visible skin rejuvenation with no downtime.
Facial Cupping
Facial Cupping involves the gentle application of small silicone or glass cups to the face, creating a light vacuum that lifts and stimulates the skin and underlying tissues. This technique boosts circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce puffiness, smooth fine lines, and enhance natural collagen production.
GUA SHA
Facial Gua Sha employs smooth-edged tools to gently scrape the skin along facial meridians, boosting circulation, reducing puffiness, and promoting lymphatic drainage. Additionally, jade rollers and nutrient-rich masks can complement professional treatments by soothing inflammation and promoting relaxation.
- Blood and lymph circulation
- Reduces tension
- Enhance overall skin health
