Facial Acupuncture in Carlton
Support for Healthy, Radiant Skin
A comprehensive, non‑surgical approach that works with your body from the inside out.
What is Facial Acupuncture?
Facial (or cosmetic) acupuncture uses very fine needles placed into specific points on the face and body. The aim is to gently stimulate circulation, support collagen and elastin production, and encourage healthier skin function over time.
Unlike creams and serums that sit on the surface, facial acupuncture works at a deeper level. By improving local blood flow and engaging the underlying muscles, it may help your skin look fresher and more relaxed, while also addressing stress, tension and overall wellbeing.
Common reasons people choose facial acupuncture include:
- Supporting skin tone and texture
- Softening the appearance of fine lines
- Reducing jaw and facial muscle tension
- Assisting with puffiness or dull complexion
- Complementing general health and wellness care
Results and responses vary between individuals. A series of sessions is usually recommended for best effect.
How Facial Acupuncture Works in This Clinic
Every treatment is performed by a qualified practitioner and tailored to your skin, health history and goals. Components that may be included in your session are:
- Lifting serum: Applied before treatment to hydrate and prepare the skin.
- Facial cupping: Gentle, gliding cups across the face to help lift underlying tissues, draw fresh blood to the surface and support lymphatic flow.
- Gua sha: A smooth tool is used to stroke along facial contours, helping to clear congestion, release tight areas and encourage circulation.
- Facial acupuncture: Ultra‑fine needles are placed at selected points on the face and body. This may help tone underlying muscles and support natural collagen and elastin production.
- Celluma light therapy: A medical‑grade LED panel is positioned over the face. Different light wavelengths are used to further support skin health and complement the effects of acupuncture.
- Microcurrent: Gentle, low‑level electrical currents are applied via the facial mask to support tissue healing processes and product absorption.
- Chinese herbal support: Where appropriate, powdered herbal formulas may be recommended to support skin nutrition and general wellbeing from the inside.
All needles are single‑use and sterile. Treatment is performed with careful attention to comfort, safety and relaxation.
