Acupuncturists can also provide valuable guidance and support around healthy ageing and lifestyle. This is especially practical as your skin changes with your hormones; throughout pregnancy, parenthood and menopause.

Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin, but its production declines with age, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Facial Acupuncture may stimulate collagen production, helping to firm and tone the skin.
A study published in the International Journal of Clinical Acupuncture showed that facial acupuncture increased collagen production and improved skin elasticity in participants (Yu et al., 2013).


Acupuncture needles stimulate microcirculation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells while promoting the removal of toxins and waste products. Research published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies demonstrated that acupuncture increased blood flow to the face, contributing to improved skin texture and tone (Yan et al., 2013).
Using cosmetic acupuncture to promote a more radiant complexion, is a natural, gentle method to healthy skin.
A study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine found that participants who received facial acupuncture experienced improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance (Donoyama et al., 2012).
