What happens during a facial acupuncture treatment?
This is our face, body, and spirit signature treatment and the only one that includes Facial Acupuncture. It is phenomenally relaxing.
First we place ear and body points to address the underlying conditions affecting your general health AND signs of aging. Many other ailments you have will be remedied by these, such as poor digestion, chronic stress, constipation, and insomnia.
Second, after applying arnica gel and our anti-bruising mist, we place points on the head and face according to what areas you are looking to improve, like lifting the eyebrows, softening lines between the eyebrows, reducing a double chin, and relaxing a downturned mouth.
Third, we place eye protection and proceed with the Celluma LED light therapy to help improve fine lines, diminish dark spots, and stimulate collagen. If you are experiencing acne, we can adjust the light to treat that instead. It is extremely relaxing and patients often say it is like a trip to the beach.
You rest with needles in for 30 minutes of Celluma treatment. Then the needles are carefully removed and hyaluronic serum and CBD specialized facial oil is applied.
For the best possible results, do facial gua sha and/or facial cupping at home 2-3x/week! I am happy to recommend authentic gua sha videos and tools for you to purchase outside the clinic.
How do you know if Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture in San Antonio is right for you?
If you want to still look like YOU, cosmetic facial acupuncture is the way to go.
If you liked your face in your teens, 20s, 30s, and even 40s but don’t like the signs of aging you’re seeing, then facial acupuncture and microneedling is for you.
You know who you are and you like you. You express your individuality and are not one to just blend in with the crowd.
You know that foreheads are supposed to move and facial expressions are critical to you interacting with the world.
Younger women who want to proactively preserve their looks are also fantastic candidates.
Why get facial acupuncture instead of injectables in your face?
First, facial rejuvenation acupuncture addresses underlying conditions causing the lines, sagging, and discoloration. It improves your overall health, as well. No other beauty condition can say that!
While I fully believe you should express yourself and how you want to look any way you want, I feel that many facial treatment trends today are becoming anything but that. More and more, women are being morphed into clones. It started off with the “no forehead movement”, then had to include huge lips. Now I am seeing filler widening women’s faces dramatically (and I’m talking even Hollywood actresses who have money for the very best). It’s the equivalent of having loose fitting clothing and gaining 20 lbs. so it’ll fit you better. It completely changes the facial structure that made them beautiful to begin with, giving many women either very wide, rectangular faces or very round, moon-faces.
What are other treatments at medspas', dermatologists’ and plastic surgeons’ offices that complement facial rejuvenation acupuncture well? Do you offer any of them?
There are a number of great treatments! I personally find IPL treatments an amazing adjunct. I occasionally get these done myself. If you do pursue them, please let me know so that we can space your microneedling a month away from this procedure.
Micro needling launches 2/28/22 because I feel it takes your facial treatments to the next level, especially when it comes to fine lines, the eye area, and the neck. Because we’re using apple stem cells (which have shown to be as effective or more effective than Vampire or PRP facials) you are going to get fantastic results. We customize your formula for each area of your face with not only apple stem cells but hyaluronic acid and target-specific Chinese herbs.
Consider trying our 4 Month Makeover. You’ll be glad you did and amazed by the results! All of these work with what you’ve got and preserve the you that makes you YOU!
