Is Cosmetic Acupuncture Effective?
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, works by promoting the health and appearance of the skin through a natural, minimally invasive approach. Here’s how it typically works:
Stimulation of Acupuncture Points:
Fine needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points on the face and body. This targeted placement helps to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
Increased Circulation:
The insertion of needles improves blood circulation to the face, which can bring more nutrients and oxygen to the skin, promoting a healthier appearance and glow.
Collagen Production:
The minor trauma caused by the needles encourages the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is a key protein that helps keep the skin firm and plump, while elastin helps maintain skin elasticity. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Relaxation of Muscles:
Acupuncture can help relax tension in facial muscles, smoothing out the skin and helping to diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
Holistic Benefits:
Beyond just targeting the face, cosmetic acupuncture often considers the overall health of the individual. It can be used to balance hormones, reduce stress, and improve sleep, all of which can contribute to better skin health.
How Long Does It Last
The recommended frequency for cosmetic acupuncture is typically once per week, with the number of sessions varying based on age:
After completing the intensive treatment phase, the next step is the maintenance phase. Due to factors such as lifestyle, muscle usage habits, and gravity, the elasticity of muscles and fascia will naturally change over time. Therefore, regular maintenance is essential to preserve the results. To maintain an optimal condition, the following treatment frequency is recommended based on age:
Post-Treatment Care for Cosmetic Acupuncture
- Avoid direct sun exposure after treatment.
- Mild soreness or tightness at the injection site is normal—follow your doctor's care instructions.
- For bruising, apply cold compress for the first two days, then switch to warm compress to aid recovery.

Unlike surgical cosmetic procedures, acupuncture is relatively safe and has minimal downtime. Some might experience slight bruising or redness at the needle sites, but these typically heal quickly.
Q&A
Q1:Does cosmetic acupuncture hurt?

Q2: How often should I get cosmetic acupuncture?
A2: A series of six sessions is recommended for gradual rejuvenation.
Q3: How long do the effects last?
A3: Results typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on lifestyle and treatment methods.
Q4: How is it different from other cosmetic treatments?
A4: It provides a natural lifting effect without implants or injections.
How the Facial GuaSha Work ?
It involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin. This action promotes blood circulation, helps detoxify the skin, and stimulates the lymphatic system. It is known for its ability to improve skin tone, reduce puffiness and inflammation, and smooth out wrinkles. By increasing blood flow, gua sha can nourish the skin, making it appear more vibrant and healthy.
Combining These Two Techniques
Gua sha targets specific areas like the neck and jowls to reduce sagginess, while cosmetic acupuncture rejuvenates overall skin and muscle tone. This combined approach not only improves appearance but also enhances internal health by stimulating acupuncture points. Regular treatments offer a safe, natural alternative to cosmetic procedures, promoting a youthful skin appearance.
