Facial Acupuncture: A Holistic Approach to Skin Health
As skin ages, it needs more support to stay plump, springy, and hydrated. Acupuncture can help!
Your skin is your largest organ and one of my favorite systems to treat. I love how it reflects and responds to deeper patterns in the body. When approached thoughtfully, skincare becomes more than a surface-level concern. It becomes a meaningful expression of your overall well-being.
At West End Acupuncture, we offer facial acupuncture, also called cosmetic acupuncture, as a gentle and holistic treatment that supports skin health both topically and internally. Tiny, hair-thin needles are placed on the face and body to improve circulation, stimulate collagen production, and promote systemic balance. If you're looking for a natural alternative to injectables or want to uplift your current skincare routine, facial acupuncture offers a targeted, results-driven approach to healthier, more radiant skin.
Facial Acupuncture Benefits
Stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer, more youthful skin
Increases circulation to boost hydration and nutrient delivery
Releases facial tension in the jaw, brow, and neck
Supports lymphatic flow to reduce puffiness and lighten dark circles
Calms inflammation related to acne, rosacea, or skin sensitivity
Promotes deep relaxation to help regulate the nervous system
Inside-Out Skin Support
Many skin concerns such as ongoing inflammation, dullness, or premature aging are often linked to internal imbalances. Facial acupuncture helps address these issues holistically by supporting overall regulation throughout the body.
What makes this approach unique is that we do not treat the face and skin in isolation. We work with the entire body to support the deeper systems that influence skin health, including:
Digestive health and the gut-skin connection
Food sensitivities, microbiome imbalances, and histamine reactivity can all play a role in skin concerns.Hormonal changes
Skin shifts related to menstrual cycles, perimenopause, or menopause can be supported through targeted treatment.Stress resilience
Stress is unavoidable, but how your body responds to it plays a crucial role in both nervous system regulation and skin health. Chronic stress shows up on the face by impairing skin repair, increasing inflammation, and contributing to muscle tension. Supporting your nervous system is one of the most effective ways to prevent premature or avoidable signs of aging—benefits you can both see and feel!
