The Approach

“Cosmetic acupuncture treats the face from the inside out — improving circulation, collagen production, and nervous system tone simultaneously.”

— Dr. Michael Adams, DACM

Facial needling creates precise micro-trauma that stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis at the dermal level. Unlike injectable treatments, there are no neurotoxins or foreign substances — only the body's own healing response, redirected and amplified. Improved local circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to skin cells while simultaneously addressing the underlying constitutional imbalances that manifest as premature aging.

A series of 10–12 sessions is recommended for optimal and lasting results, typically spaced one week apart. Following the initial series, monthly maintenance sessions preserve and extend the outcomes. Results are cumulative — most patients notice a visible shift in skin quality by sessions 4–6.

What We Address

Conditions Addressed
with Cosmetic Acupuncture

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Targeted needling stimulates collagen synthesis and fibroblast activity to soften expression lines and static wrinkles.

Skin Tone & Texture

Improves uneven tone, rough texture, and dullness by enhancing local microcirculation and cellular turnover.

Facial Puffiness & Lymph

Facial gua sha and needling support lymphatic drainage, reducing chronic puffiness and morning swelling.

Collagen & Elasticity

Controlled micro-trauma triggers the skin's repair cascade, increasing collagen and elastin density over a treatment series.

Jaw Tension & TMJ

Specific motor point needling releases masseter hypertonicity and addresses the musculoskeletal component of TMJ dysfunction.

Radiance & Circulation

Improved qi and blood flow to the face restores natural luminosity and reduces sallow, fatigued-looking complexion.
