How does facial acupuncture work?

Facial acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the face to stimulate circulation, promote collagen production, and restore balance to the body's energy flow.

The needles are strategically placed to target areas of tension, fine lines, and wrinkles. This process encourages the body's natural healing mechanisms, resulting in improved skin tone, reduced puffiness, and a more youthful appearance.

Is facial acupuncture painful?

No, facial acupuncture is generally not painful. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or a sensation of warmth. The needles used for facial acupuncture are much finer than those used for body acupuncture, making the experience comfortable and relaxing.

How long does a facial acupuncture session take?

A typical facial acupuncture session at Erzhena Lygdenova lasts about 60 minutes. This includes a thorough consultation, where your acupuncturist will discuss your skincare concerns and tailor the treatment to address your specific needs.  

The acupuncture itself takes approximately 30-40 minutes, during which you'll have the opportunity to relax and unwind.

What are the benefits of facial acupuncture?

Facial acupuncture offers a range of benefits beyond improving the appearance of your skin. Some key advantages include:

Natural Rejuvenation

Facial acupuncture promotes the body's natural ability to regenerate and heal, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.

Stress Reduction

The relaxing nature of the treatment helps reduce stress levels, contributing to overall well-being and a more radiant complexion.

Improved Circulation

By enhancing blood flow to the face, facial acupuncture supports nutrient delivery and oxygenation, promoting a healthy glow.

How long is the recovery time after getting facial acupuncture?

There is minimal downtime after facial acupuncture. Some patients may experience slight redness or mild bruising, but these effects typically subside within a day or two. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the session, and many clients find the treatment so relaxing that they return to work or their daily routine feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The Erzhena Lygdenova team believes in the holistic approach to skincare, addressing both the external and internal factors that contribute to a radiant complexion.
