Exciting Updates to My Facial & Cosmetic Acupuncture Services!
One of the things I love most about practicing acupuncture is that I'm always learning and refining how I can best help my patients.
For several years, I've offered Cosmetic Acupuncture, a 75-minute treatment that combines full-body acupuncture with facial acupuncture and, when appropriate, facial gua sha and/or facial cupping. It's been wonderful helping patients who want to support healthy aging while also improving their overall health and well-being.
But over time, I've noticed something important...
Not everyone seeking facial acupuncture has the same goals.
Some patients are looking to soften fine lines, improve skin tone, and support graceful aging. Others are struggling with acne, rosacea, eczema, or other inflammatory skin conditions. And more recently, I've had an increasing number of people asking about natural options for thinning hair and hair loss.
While all of these concerns can benefit from Traditional Chinese Medicine, they don't all require the same treatment approach.
For example, someone with active inflammatory acne or rosacea isn't a good candidate for facial gua sha over irritated skin. Their treatment should focus on calming inflammation, addressing internal imbalances, and supporting healing from the inside out. Likewise, someone experiencing hair thinning requires a completely different treatment strategy than someone hoping to reduce fine lines.
Rather than trying to fit everyone into one appointment type, I've decided to create treatments that are more personalized and goal-specific.
🌿 Skin Health Acupuncture: Medical & Dermatological
Designed for concerns such as acne, rosacea, eczema, sensitive skin, and other inflammatory skin conditions. These treatments focus on identifying and addressing the underlying patterns contributing to skin health while supporting the body's natural healing process.
Initial Consultation & Treatment: 90 minutes
Follow-Up Treatments: 60 minutes
✨ Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture: Healthy Aging
This is the evolution of my current Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment. It combines full-body acupuncture with facial acupuncture and rejuvenation techniques such as facial gua sha and/or facial cupping (when appropriate) to support healthy aging, improve circulation, encourage collagen production, and promote a refreshed, radiant complexion.
Designed for those looking to address concerns such as:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Loss of elasticity
Puffiness
Facial tension
Overall skin vitality and healthy aging
Initial Consultation & Treatment: 90 minutes
Follow-Up Treatments: 75 minutes
🌱 Hair Restoration Acupuncture: Hair & Scalp Wellness
A new treatment designed for individuals experiencing hair thinning or excessive shedding due to stress, hormonal changes, aging, postpartum changes, or other underlying imbalances.
These sessions combine full-body acupuncture with scalp acupuncture and plum blossom therapy to support circulation and create an environment that encourages healthier hair growth.
Initial Consultation & Treatment: 90 minutes
Follow-Up Treatments: 60 minutes
Although these services are becoming more specialized, my philosophy remains the same: treat the whole person, not just the symptom.
Whether your goal is healthier skin, graceful aging, or supporting healthier hair growth, every treatment begins by looking at what's happening beneath the surface. Because in Traditional Chinese Medicine, lasting results come from addressing the root—not simply treating what's visible.
I'm excited to offer these expanded services and look forward to helping even more patients achieve their individual goals through personalized, holistic care.
These new specialty services will be available to book beginning Wednesday, July 15, 2026.
Over the next week, I'll be updating my website with detailed information about each treatment, including what to expect, who may benefit, and recommended treatment plans. I'm excited to share these new offerings and continue providing personalized care that meets each patient's unique goals.
