The F.A.C.E. style Facial Acupuncture originated in Korea. It works by inserting ultra fine one-time use acupuncture needles (0.10-0.14 mm) around facial muscles to lift, tone, reduce fine lines, and correct facial asymmetries. It does so by bringing more circulation to the muscles to relax or tighten muscles as well as stimulate the production of collagen. There is no downtime after the treatment. Most people have little sensation from the needle insertion because of how thin (hair-thin) the needles are. There are little to no side effects from the treatment. It is all natural. Facial acupuncture does not conflict with western cosmetic procedures, rather it is the perfect complementary treatment.
Depending on your age and skin condition, a different protocol will be recommended.
Generally the treatment protocol is 6 treatments consecutively (once a week) and then once a month for maintenance. Every treatment is followed by microneedling (non-invasive), LED red light therapy, and a facial mask. The whole process takes around 2 hours.
