Cosmetic Acupuncture

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture applies the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to facial rejuvenation. Gentle, precise needling increases local blood flow, supports collagen and elastin production, and eases muscular holding patterns that contribute to lines and puffiness.
Because it treats both the face and the underlying patterns of Qi and organ balance, results look fresh and natural — never frozen — while supporting whole-body wellbeing.

Our Treatment Philosophy

At Yulong TCM, facial sessions are customized to your skin goals and overall constitution. Maria combines minimal-needle facial techniques with body points that regulate stress, sleep, digestion, and hormones — the foundations of healthy skin.
According to your needs, sessions may also include light facial acupressure or gua sha to de-puff and lift, while keeping everything gentle and deeply relaxing.

Common Benefits & Indications

• Softening of fine lines and expression lines
• Improved tone, firmness, and facial contour
• Brighter complexion and more even skin tone
• Reduced puffiness, under-eye bags, and fluid retention
• Support for acne-prone or reactive skin (calming redness)
• Jaw/temple tension (TMJ) and stress-related facial tightness

What to Expect During a Session

After a short consultation and pulse/tongue assessment, ultra-fine sterile needles are placed at selected facial and body points. Most people feel a warm, relaxing flow as circulation increases and muscles unwind.
Treatments are comfortable and mindful; you’ll rest for part of the session while the points work. You can return to normal activities afterward — no downtime, just a refreshed look and calm nervous system.

Frequency & Course

For best results, cosmetic acupuncture is usually done as a series of sessions (for example, 6–10 weekly), followed by maintenance every 4–6 weeks. Plans are tailored to your skin, lifestyle, and goals, and can be combined with other TCM therapies when appropriate.
