Facial Acupuncture Singapore
Discover the natural rejuvenating effects of facial acupuncture, a time-honoured TCM therapy that combines targeted facial acupuncture with holistic healing. This minimally invasive treatment involves placing fine needles at specific facial and body points to enhance blood circulation, improve skin elasticity, and encourage natural collagen production. Ideal for those seeking a gentle, yet effective approach to skincare, facial acupuncture promotes overall wellness while reducing signs of ageing, alleviating fine lines, and enhancing skin tone.
How Facial Acupuncture Works
Facial acupuncture in Singapore works by inserting fine needles to stimulate specific acupoints on the face and body. This process enhances blood flow, improves lymphatic drainage, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to rejuvenate the skin naturally. By balancing Qi (energy flow) throughout the body, facial acupuncture not only addresses surface skin concerns but also promotes overall wellness, tackling underlying issues like stress, digestive imbalances, and hormonal fluctuations that can influence skin health.
Benefits of Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture offers a range of natural benefits that promotes skin rejuvenation and helps balance the underlying causes of skin issues.
• Improved Skin Tone and Texture:
Increases blood flow to the facial area, delivering essential nutrients that improve skin tone and smoothness.
• Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles:
Stimulates collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and gives a natural lifting effect.
• Enhanced Skin Radiance:
Promotes lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and dark circles, which can brighten the complexion for a natural glow.
• Reduced Acne and Inflammation:
Balances hormones and promotes detoxification, which can lessen acne breakouts and reduce inflammation for clearer skin.
• Stress Relief and Overall Wellness:
By working on body acupuncture points, facial acupuncture can help alleviate stress, which has a direct, positive effect on the skin’s appearance.

The session begins with a consultation to understand your skin goals and any underlying health conditions. Fine, sterile needles are then inserted into specific points on the face and body, helping to stimulate circulation and energy flow. The treatment is comfortable, but most clients tend to feel a slight tingling sensation as energy pathways are activated. Each session lasts about 45 to 60 minutes, and follow-up sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
