Overview
Facial acupuncture brings the principles of Chinese medicine into personalized skin care. Using exceptionally fine needles, treatment focuses on selected areas of the face with the aim of softening the appearance of fine lines and encouraging a refreshed, rested look.
Our approach considers more than facial muscles and individual skin concerns. The face contains many traditional acupuncture points along meridian pathways. These points help guide a treatment that considers your complexion alongside your overall health. Within Chinese medicine, this approach seeks to support internal balance—the body’s ability to maintain a stable, healthy state, also known as homeostasis.
At Fingertips, facial acupuncture is an opportunity to care for your skin and your whole self, with the intention of cultivating a natural glow from within.
What to expect
Your session begins with a brief consultation about your skin, overall health, current skincare routine, and any recent cosmetic treatments. After a gentle facial cleanse, your practitioner places ultra-fine, sterile, single-use needles at carefully selected facial points. Body acupuncture points may also be included when appropriate.
You will then rest comfortably while the needles remain in place. When suitable for your skin and health history, LED red and near-infrared light therapy complements the treatment to support skin rejuvenation.
Your visit concludes with needle removal and personalized post-treatment care guidance. Changes are generally gradual, and your practitioner will discuss a treatment schedule suited to your goals.
