What Is Facial Acupuncture?
Facial acupuncture uses precise, gentle needlework to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encourage collagen production, relax facial muscles, and enhance your skin’s firmness. Unlike chemical treatments or injectables, facial acupuncture takes a holistic approach by revitalizing your skin from within to support long-term rejuvenation and overall health.

The Celluma Pro is FDA-approved for improving skin health and rejuvenation. This advanced infrared LED light therapy device delivers specific wavelengths of light deep into the skin to energize cellular activity, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and reduce inflammation. The result is a noticeable improvement in skin tone, texture, and radiance.
By integrating this clinically proven technology into every facial rejuvenation session, we help you achieve optimal, long-lasting results.
How Facial Acupuncture Works
Facial acupuncture offers two scientifically supported primary benefits: enhanced skin rejuvenation and improved muscle tone for facial symmetry.
Skin Rejuvenation Through Collagen Stimulation
Facial acupuncture works by inserting ultra-fine needles into specific areas of the skin, creating controlled microtraumas that stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, enhances blood circulation, and supports lymphatic drainage, which collectively help to reduce wrinkles, even out skin tone, and restore a radiant complexion. Consistent treatments are key! Each session builds upon the last, leading to ongoing improvements in firmness, elasticity, and overall skin health.
Muscle Tightening and Improved Symmetry
Needling into small facial muscles directly targets sagging and loose muscle tissue that contributes to facial asymmetry and aging. Acupuncture therapy relaxes overactive muscles and tones those that have become lax over time, improving the facial contour and achieving better symmetry. MRI-based studies confirm significant reduction in sagging jowl muscles and improvement in left-right muscle balance, with clients experiencing visibly lifted features and a more harmonious facial appearance after regular treatments. This benefit not only enhances aesthetics but also supports functional wellness, such as relieving muscle tension and jaw discomfort.
Our Signature Facial Acupuncture Treatments Include:
✧ Facial Tuina Massage: A gentle, therapeutic technique that promotes lymphatic drainage, muscle relaxation, and improved circulation
✧ Gua Sha or Facial Cupping: These traditional tools help lift and sculpt the face, reduce puffiness, and smooth fine lines
✧ Cosmetic Acupuncture: Ultra-fine needles are placed with precision to stimulate collagen, release tension, and restore balance
✧ Celluma LED Light Therapy: Red and near-infrared wavelengths support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance collagen synthesis
✧ Body Acupuncture: Targeted points to regulate hormones, support digestion, reduce stress, and balance internal systems affecting the skin
You’ll leave feeling both radiant and deeply relaxed. Many clients report improved sleep, reduced jaw tension, and a noticeable glow even after the first session.

Morgan Hartley, L.Ac., holds advanced certification in facial rejuvenation acupuncture and has trained extensively in both cosmetic and holistic techniques. At Seed Acupuncture, every facial treatment includes a full-body approach that supports skin health through internal balance, stress reduction, and digestive and hormonal regulation.
We combine ancient Chinese medicine with modern therapeutic tools to maximize your results without the side effects of Botox or fillers.
Consistency is Key
Facial acupuncture results build gradually and sustainably over time. That’s why after an initial treatment we offer this service as a 10-session package, with a recommended appointment schedule of:
Twice a week for five weeks, or
Once a week for ten weeks
This consistency maximizes your collagen response, retrains facial muscles, and helps your skin hold its lifted, healthy appearance long after your series ends.
