Facial Acupuncture & Gua sha

What is facial rejuvenation acupuncture?
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a non-invasive treatment that uses fine acupuncture needles to stimulate circulation and support collagen production in the face. It is commonly used to improve skin tone, texture, and overall facial appearance.

Is cosmetic acupuncture safe?
Yes. Cosmetic acupuncture is considered a low-risk treatment when performed by a trained and registered practitioner. Sterile, single-use needles and strict hygiene protocols are used at our Burnaby clinic.

How many treatments are needed?
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments. While some improvements may be noticeable after one session, a structured treatment plan is typically recommended for optimal and longer-lasting results.

Does facial acupuncture hurt?
Facial acupuncture is generally well tolerated. The needles are very fine, and most patients experience minimal discomfort, often describing the sensation as mild or relaxing.

What is gua sha facial therapy?
Gua sha is a manual facial technique that uses a smooth stone tool to promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, and improve circulation. It is commonly combined with cosmetic acupuncture for enhanced results.

Is there any downtime?
There is little to no downtime. Some patients may experience mild redness or slight bruising, which usually resolves quickly.
