Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural, holistic approach to supporting healthy, radiant skin from the inside out. Rather than masking signs of ageing, acupuncture helps to encourage your body’s own regenerative healing mechanisms. Acupuncture needles are placed in specific points on the face and body to promote circulation, boost collagen production, and soften lines formed by stress, repetitive expression, or tension patterns of the facial muscles. This gentle stimulation brings fresh blood and nutrients to the skin, helping it appear brighter, smoother, and more lifted.
Each session begins with a detailed consultative process, including Chinese medicine diagnostics and a specialised facial tension and skin/wrinkle analysis. This allows us to understand both the external presentation and the internal patterns contributing to your skin’s condition.
Your treatment may include a combination of techniques such as facial massage, Gua Sha, facial needling, and body needling. Our acupuncturists, Peter and Veronika, may also recommend herbal medicine or targeted supplements, along with tailored dietary and lifestyle guidance to further support your treatment goals. Simple facial massage or Gua Sha practices may also be prescribed to maintain your treatment progress between sessions.
People commonly seek cosmetic acupuncture to support:
- Softening fine lines and wrinkles in various facial regions
- Improving skin tone and overall brightness
- Reducing puffiness or fluid retention
- Supporting healthy ageing and preventing early signs of ageing
- Addressing hormonal or stress-related skin changes
- Improving circulation and lymphatic flow for a more lifted appearance
- Reducing jaw tension or facial muscle tension that contributes to lines
- Managing acne, breakouts, or uneven skin texture
- Choosing a natural, non-invasive alternative to cosmetic procedures
To achieve the best and longest-lasting results, we recommend a course of 10 cosmetic acupuncture treatments. This allows each session to build on the last, encouraging lasting change, improved circulation, and deepened internal balance. Many clients then choose to maintain their results with seasonal or monthly follow-ups. Your practitioner will recommend the ideal frequency for ongoing treatments to best support your goals.
