Cosmetic Acupuncture

Each treatment integrates both facial and body acupuncture points to support not only the skin, but the underlying systems that influence its health. Fine needles placed on the face help lift, tone, and increase circulation, while body points work to regulate stress, digestion, and hormonal balance. Together, this comprehensive approach restores harmony within the body—resulting in outcomes that feel as good as they look.

Complementary Therapies : To enhance your results, your treatment may include a selection of supportive modalities

• LED Light Therapy: Supports collagen production and calms the skin
• Gua Sha: Gently sculpts, smooths, and reduces puffiness
• Facial Cupping: Promotes lift and boosts circulation
• Microcurrent: Tones and re-energizes facial muscles
• Myofascial Release: A deeply grounding facial and scalp treatment to release facial restrictions and restore mobility.

Cosmetic acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture that focuses on both facial rejuvenation and whole-body balance. While traditional acupuncture primarily addresses internal health concerns, cosmetic acupuncture integrates facial points to support collagen production, improve muscle tone, and enhance circulation. At the same time, body points are carefully selected to address the underlying factors that influence skin health—such as stress, hormonal balance, and digestion. This comprehensive approach ensures that results are not only visible on the surface but supported from within. Cosmetic acupuncture is more than a beauty treatment—it is a holistic therapy designed to restore balance, promote overall well-being, and enhance your natural radiance.

Many clients begin to feel the benefits before they see them—often noticing improved sleep, better digestion, and an overall sense of calm and balance after the first few sessions.

Visible results develop with consistency. For optimal outcomes, a series of weekly treatments is typically recommended, ranging from 10–16 sessions. This allows the body time to regulate, restore balance, and support healthy collagen production.

Following your initial series, maintenance treatments every 1–2 times per month help sustain your results, support long-term skin health, and maintain a radiant, natural glow

Yes—cosmetic acupuncture supports far more than the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can be beneficial for a range of skin concerns, including acne, puffiness, dullness, scarring, jaw tension, rosacea, melasma, and stress-related skin changes.

By helping to regulate the nervous system and support internal balance—such as digestion, hormonal health, sleep, and stress response—this approach addresses the underlying factors that influence skin health.

The result is a treatment that enhances not only how your skin looks, but also how you feel—supporting a more balanced, radiant, and resilient state of well-being.

It is recommended to wait at least 2–3 weeks after receiving Botox or dermal fillers before beginning cosmetic acupuncture. This allows the product to fully settle and helps avoid affecting its placement.

If you plan to incorporate both treatments into your routine, cosmetic acupuncture can be performed prior to injectables to help prepare the facial muscles, improve circulation, and support overall skin health. Always inform your practitioner of any recent cosmetic procedures so your treatment can be safely and appropriately tailored.

The answer depends on your individual goals. Cosmetic acupuncture offers a natural, gradual approach to facial rejuvenation rather than immediate or immobilizing effects. It works by improving skin tone, texture, and radiance while supporting the body’s own regenerative processes.

For those seeking a more holistic alternative—or transitioning away from injectables—cosmetic acupuncture can be an excellent option. It enhances your natural features without altering your expression, creating results that are subtle, balanced, and long-lasting.

Micro-needling is a non-invasive procedure that is performed using an oscillating pen with a single-use needling attachment. The punctures create micro-traumas, to the second layer of skin, or dermis. These mini-injuries cause collagen and elastin to build and the skin to naturally repair itself: leaving the skin with reduced fine lines and wrinkles, smaller pores, reduced acne scarring, and discoloration, and much more. By deeply opening the pores, this procedure helps the skin absorb topical serums, which are vital for cellular regrowth.

Rather than feeling like a traditional needle poke, the sensation is soft and soothing, similar to a gentle buzz. At LUX, we enhance the microneedling experience by incorporating body acupuncture points. This not only supports your skin’s healing but also addresses the underlying factors that impact skin health, including stress, hormonal imbalances, and digestive concerns. The result is faster recovery, deeper healing, and skin that looks and feels balanced—from the inside out.

Before your treatment begins, a gentle numbing cream is applied to ensure complete comfort. While the cream takes effect, you’ll relax under LED light therapy, which calms the skin, boosts circulation, and awakens fibroblasts to stimulate collagen production. During this time, body acupuncture points are also placed to support the healing process and address the underlying factors contributing to your skin concerns.

To complete your session, a YINA Biocellulose Mask infused with Chinese herbal botanicals is applied. Rich in adaptogenic herbs and plant extracts, the mask soothes and cools the skin, deeply hydrates, reduces post-treatment redness, and enhances the skin’s natural repair processes. This final step leaves your complexion balanced, refreshed, and visibly renewed.

Most clients notice subtle improvements within about three weeks of their first session, including smoother texture, more even tone, and a natural, healthy glow. 

Clinical studies show that collagen synthesis and remodeling continue for weeks after treatment, which is why results build gradually over time.

For optimal long-term outcomes, a series of 3–6 sessions spaced one month apart is recommended, improving firmness, elasticity, and overall radiance. After completing the initial series, maintenance treatments—typically 1 session, 2–3 times per year—help sustain results and keep the skin in a consistent collagen renewal cycle, supporting lasting balance, resilience, and youthful vitality.

Microneedling should only be performed on calm, healthy skin. It is not recommended if you have active acne, open wounds, infections, eczema, rosacea flare-ups, or a history of keloid scarring. Additionally, treatments should be postponed if you have used Accutane within the past six months. If you’ve recently had Botox or dermal fillers, wait at least two weeks before or after your microneedling session to allow the product to settle and the skin to heal. After chemical peels or laser treatments, allow 2–4 weeks for full recovery. We also recommend pausing retinoids, acids, and other strong actives for 3–5 days before and after treatment, as they can increase sensitivity and interfere with healing. For the best results, your skin should feel calm, hydrated, and resilient going into your session.
