What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?
“I want a smaller face,” “I want to get rid of my dark circles,” “I want to reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds”—these are common concerns that everyone faces at some point. Did you know that these facial issues can be addressed with “cosmetic acupuncture”?
Cosmetic acupuncture is a beauty treatment where acupuncture needles are applied to acupoints and muscles on the face to improve blood circulation, maintain youthful facial muscles, and improve skin tissue.
Cosmetic acupuncture not only enhances superficial beauty but also aims to restore the skin’s natural health. This treatment is effective not just for issues like a smaller face, dark circles, and nasolabial folds, but also for overall beauty concerns such as skin roughness and dullness. Through cosmetic acupuncture, we bring out natural beauty.
Mechanism of Cosmetic Acupuncture
Depth of Cosmetic Acupuncture
The skin has a layered structure from the surface to deeper layers: 1. Epidermis → 2. Dermis → 3. Subcutaneous tissue → 4. Muscle layer.
Cosmetic acupuncture begins at the skin’s surface, passes through the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, and ultimately reaches the deep muscle layers. The stimulation along this pathway influences multiple skin layers, contributing to beauty enhancement. The new skin cells are generated not at the surface but in the basal layer and deeper dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
Mechanism of Skin Repair
When acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin, the cells recognize the damage and activate the body’s “natural healing power” to repair the damaged cells. This stimulates metabolism, promotes collagen secretion, and improves blood circulation.
With repeated treatments, cosmetic acupuncture can offer sustained benefits. As treatments progress, collagen secretion increases, leading to improved results and longer-lasting effects.
Concerns That Can Be Improved
Cosmetic acupuncture is supported by many people due to its immediate effects and long-lasting benefits. By stimulating the nerves inside the face with acupuncture, it effectively relaxes muscles and promotes blood circulation.
While traditional esthetic treatments and massages can also promote lymphatic and blood flow, maintaining these effects after treatment can be difficult. However, cosmetic acupuncture works by utilizing the skin’s inherent strength, so not only does it provide immediate effects, but it also offers long-lasting benefits.

How to Maintain the Effects
To maintain the effects of beauty acupuncture, it is important to avoid cooling your body. The reaction triggered by the acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, such as wound healing. However, stress and aging can reduce these functions, and beauty acupuncture is believed to awaken these abilities. The treatment affects not only specific areas but also the entire body.
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, beauty and health are closely related. To maintain beauty, it is essential to preserve health. Beauty acupuncture improves blood circulation and natural healing abilities, balancing hormones and autonomic nervous functions. Therefore, to maintain the effects of beauty acupuncture, it is important to prioritize overall health.
For example, it is effective to avoid cooling the body and consume easily digestible food. Eating warm foods and ingredients that warm the body can help regulate overall health and enhance the lasting effects of beauty acupuncture. Also, moderate exercise promotes blood circulation, so regular physical activity is also beneficial.
