Many patients notice improved glow, circulation, and facial relaxation after the first session.

For more visible structural changes (fine lines, tone, lift, acne clarity), we typically recommend a series of 6–10 treatments, spaced weekly or bi-weekly.

Skin regenerates in cycles — so consistency helps stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and retrain muscle tension patterns.

We’ll customize your plan based on your goals, age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors.

Facial acupuncture uses ultra-thin, sterile needles — much finer than what’s used for injections or lab work.

Most patients describe the sensation as:

-A light pinch that lasts a second

-A mild tingling or warmth

-Or nothing at all

The face has excellent circulation, so treatments are generally very comfortable. Many patients actually fall asleep during their session.

Yes. Facial acupuncture supports acne and post-acne scarring in several ways:

-Reduces inflammation

-Regulates stress-related breakouts

-Improves circulation and lymphatic drainage

-Supports hormone balance

-Stimulates collagen remodeling for scarring

We often combine acupuncture with customized internal support (when appropriate) and skin-focused techniques to address both the root cause and surface presentation.

For acne and scarring support, Imelda can also incorporate advanced skin therapies when indicated.

We use professional-grade LED light therapy such as the Celluma LED Light Therapy device.

LED therapy enhances results by:

-Stimulating collagen production (red light)

-Reducing acne-causing bacteria (blue light)

-Supporting tissue repair and inflammation reduction

-Improving overall skin tone and clarity

It’s non-invasive, painless, and pairs beautifully with facial acupuncture to accelerate skin renewal and healing.

Absolutely — and it works best that way.

Facial acupuncture improves:

-Circulation

-Collagen production

-Lymphatic drainage

-Nervous system regulation

When combined with high-quality skincare, healthy nutrition, and proper hydration, results are amplified.

We’ll guide you on:

-When to avoid certain treatments (like microneedling or aggressive peels)

-How to time facials or esthetic services

-Which products support collagen and barrier repair

Think of facial acupuncture as optimizing the foundation — your skincare then works even better.
