Everything You Need to Know About Cosmetic Acupuncture and Micro-Needling [Infographic]
When looking for a safe, natural way to repair your skin and improve your overall health, micro-needling and cosmetic acupuncture could be your answer.
As we age, we may notice our skin isn’t as vibrant or youthful as it once was. While this is a natural process, it can sometimes indicate an imbalance in our bodies that affects our health. Aging is a part of life, but there are times when we can feel we’re aging in unhealthy ways. Both micro-needling and cosmetic acupuncture help to restore balance to our bodies by stimulating the way our bodies naturally repair and heal. These two procedures work incredibly well together and can lead to incredible results.
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture is a type of acupuncture that focuses on bringing blood, qi, and nourishment to the face with the insertion of tiny, hair-thin needles along lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. This can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and leave you with younger-looking skin.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a great choice for lifting, tightening, and firming the skin. During a cosmetic acupuncture session, the whole body is addressed by needling specific body points to help make sure the energy in the body is moving as it should be. While the focus of cosmetic acupuncture is to lift and firm the face, the root cause of the issue is addressed in order to provide the maximum benefit and boost your overall health.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a safe, painless treatment that can help you look and feel younger and healthier without side-effects and without injecting any substances into the body.
At CFCA, cosmetic acupuncture treatments cost $100/hour and can help you look and feel younger and healthier. Cosmetic acupuncture can also enhance the benefits of micro-needling when done between micro-needling treatments.

What is Micro-Needling?
Micro-needling uses the insertion of fine needles into the skin with an oscillating, sterile pen tip to create micro channels in the skin that serve to jump start the skin’s own healing process, producing collagen and elastin. These channels also allow products to be absorbed into the skin more easily.
Micro-needling is a safe procedure and numbing cream is used to reduce any discomfort. Because micro-needling stimulates the skin’s repair process, it can be used to treat a number of different skin issues. Some of the major benefits of micro-needling include:
- Reducing scars
- Reducing wrinkles
- Enhancing skin quality
- Reducing discoloration
- Regenerating new skin cells
- Boosting product absorption
At CFCA, micro-needling treatments cost $150/hour and we finish your session by applying a green tea oil to your skin which includes many beneficial vitamins and nutrients to aid in your skin’s healing process. This oil also helps protect your skin from UV damage by reducing the natural photosensitivity after a micro-needling session.
