Acupuncture for skin & glow

Facial acupuncture is a gentle way to care for your skin, and early studies show softer-looking lines after a course of sessions.

How it can help

  • A relaxing, gentle way to care for your skin.
  • Early studies show softer-looking lines for a few months after a course.
  • Results tend to fade without occasional maintenance sessions.

What the research shows

  • In a 2025 trial, about two-thirds of women who had 12 sessions had softer-looking frown lines than women who had no treatment.
  • Results build over a course of sessions and are best kept up with occasional maintenance visits.
