What is cosmetic acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture is an all-natural therapy that uses thin, sterile
needles to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve facial elasticity, and
brighten the complexion. It is typically applied to the head, face, and

acupuncture points on your face, as well as other points on your

the treatment takes effect.
● There is usually little to no discomfort when needles are
inserted and removed.

energized.
