Why Cosmetic Acupuncture?

The most common reason for seeking cosmetic acupuncture is as a holistic alternative to botox – to improve the elasticity of sagging skin and facial muscle groups, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, we can also use these methods and products to treat acne-related concerns, dry or oily skin, inflammation or discoloration on the face, etc. You can expect brighter, more nourished skin in addition to reversal of signs of aging, blemishes and discolored skin. 

This both stimulates muscles that have become too flaccid and relaxes muscles that are too tight, stimulating local collagen bridge formation.

The low level light therapy component of the acupuncture facial is targeted at both acne and aging concerns. Light energy has been found to both re-regulate AND up-regulate mitochondrial action, dramatically increasing rate of cellular healing.    

This technique stimulates more blood circulation in the skin and muscles of the face, alerting fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. Don’t worry - the small cups we use on the face will not leave bruising like you may have seen from traditional cupping marks on other parts of the body. 

Here, we use a jade roller or similar tool to apply a lifting serum (which we make in-house at Onyx) to your face, breaking up adhesions and tightness in your facial muscles, as well as stimulates lymphatic drainage.

FAQs

Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.

Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.

You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.

Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
