acupuncture | COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
An all-natural treatment that enhances natural beauty by balancing inner health.
wellbe’s facial rejuvenation (or cosmetic) acupuncture is a safe and natural way to create a healthier complexion by restoring and bringing balance to both the body and the mind.
Not only will this treatment improve your skin’s health, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, boost collagen production and give you that coveted healthy glow, but it also heals and energizes your entire body from head-to-toe, inside out.
How does it work?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our face and complexion are a reflection of our internal body systems and organ health. If things aren’t going right on the inside, it’ll show on the outside.
Our acupuncturists use the tiniest of needles on the face, head and body to improve circulation, boost collagen and elastin production and to help address the root cause of internal imbalances that may contribute to the aging process. Immediately after, you’ll notice a more balanced complexion with increased blood flow giving you the radiant skin and healthy “glow” you’ve been craving. But the real magic happens following consistent and regular treatments that will create long-term changes in the health of your skin and body such as better collagen production and stimulation, brightened skin tone, reduced jaw tension as well as reduced stress and anxiety and disease prevention.
You will not only look younger, but you will also feel younger.
As wellbe’s cosmetic acupuncture and facial rejuvenation sessions use a holistic approach, expect your first session to include an initial history and examination of your main concerns. Our acupuncturists will then tailor the treatment to meet your needs and target areas you feel need improvement. The treatment itself will include acupuncture of both facial and body points, lymphatic drainage massage, including facial cupping, rolling and gua sha, to leave your skin feeling healthy and nourished.
Bottom line, our treatments will balance your overall health creating beauty from within!
No surgery. No chemicals. All natural.

Cosmetic acupuncture is a continuation of traditional acupuncture. It is said to naturally help make the skin look healthier, younger, brighter and smoother. Unlike injection procedures, facial or cosmetic acupuncture addresses more than just the signs of aging but rather helps the skin’s overall health. It creates inner health and balance which helps to create long term changes in the health of your skin and body. No short term, quick fixes here. We focus on long term collagen stimulation, long lasting and brightened skin tone, reduced tension in the face and jaw, and a smoother complexion.
