What is a treatment like?
Acupuncture is performed by a trained and certified chiropractor using sterile hair-thin needles. While there will be some needles inserted into the face, many will be applied to the body to balance the Qi (the body’s energy) and promote all around health and wellness. Once the needles are placed, the patient relaxes for 20 minutes before the needles are removed. Needles may be applied to:
- The face and head
- Hands and arms
- Feet and ankles
- Around the navel
The practitioner will return to the room to remove the needles. After the needles are removed, the microcurrent facial massage begins. *This device will not be used on pregnant patients or those who have a pacemaker.
- The gentle impulses that are applied to acupuncture points located on the face can reinforce the benefits of the needles promoting well-being and relaxation.
- Microcurrent impulses stimulate and relax many facial muscle groups for improved smoother tighter looking skin.
- It can stimulate the body’s own resources for collagen and elastin.

Cosmetic Acupuncture in the news:
Great article about cosmetic acupuncture. “This treatment is non-invasive and painless, which can set it apart from injections. However, a large difference is how this treatment continues to work on improving elasticity of the skin after the needles have been removed.”
