How does Cosmetic Acupuncture work?

Cosmetic Acupuncture, as performed by our practitioners, is a gentle, safe, and relaxing skin care treatment. During the session, fine needles are placed on the superficial level of the skin to promote local blood circulation, enhancing your skin’s wellness. This encourages elastin and collagen production, vital for facial rejuvenation, while aiding in the elimination of metabolic wastes, reducing skin puffiness and balancing skin tone. These stimulate the brightening, toning and rejuvenation of your face. Additionally, we incorporate body acupuncture to stimulate the internal organ system, ensuring your body’s response system is at its optimal state to maximise the effect of the treatment and, at the same time, promote a balance from the inside out. 

How long is each session? 

During the session, we do a skin assessment with a thorough intake of your medical history, check your tongue and pulse, followed by acupuncture treatment on both the facial area and body. It takes approximately 70-80 mins for the first session and 60 mins for follow-up treatments.

How often can I get Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments? 

It is recommended to do Cosmetic Acupuncture every 1-2 days for the first 5-6 sessions, followed by once a week for another 4 weeks. After that, you can have it done once fortnightly or monthly to maintain optimum skin condition.

How long does it take to see the effect of Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments?

The specific timeframe for noticing results varies, depending on individual body condition. In most cases, you may begin to see a difference in the skin, such as a firmer, brighter or smoother texture, by the fourth or fifth treatment. 

Can I do Cosmetic Acupuncture when there are skin flare-ups?

Yes, Cosmetic Acupuncture helps to improve local blood flow and reduce inflammation in the skin, so it is beneficial for acne treatment, acne scarring, eczema, and rosacea. The treatment also includes body acupuncture, which helps to treat the root cause of skin flare-ups by regulating the internal organs.

Are there any side effects or potential reactions from Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment?

A potential downside of the treatment includes mild bruising at the insertion site, which may take up to 7 days to subside.

Is there an instance when I shouldn’t get Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Since you need to be lying in a supine position, it is not suitable if you are pregnant.
