A Way of Life Acupuncture invites you to discover a beauty secret used by Chinese nobility for thousands of years. You can harness this time-honored wisdom to reclaim a radiant and youthful appearance through a safe and painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of aging.  According to Chinese Medicine, beauty is restored when the energy (Qi) circulation increases the flow of blood.  


Acupuncture for facial beauty is a wonderful holistic approach to fighting the aging process and offers a safe, effective and proven method of treatment to:

  • Minimize or erase fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduce the depth of deeper lines
  • Decrease puffiness under the eyes
  • Firm facial muscles
  • Lifts drooping eyelids
  • Provide a consistently smoother and brighter face


Facial Rejuvenation with Acupuncture can sometimes be referred to as an Acupuncture Facelift or Cosmetic Acupuncture, but is more than a cosmetic procedure. It rejuvenates and revitalizes from within to help the whole body look and feel younger.  It is one of the fastest growing non-surgical methods for those who want to maintain beauty, radiance and vitality to the face, but also improve their overall health and well-being.  

The following are some of the beneficial effects:

  • Increased production of elastin and collagen
  • Improved muscle tone to prevent further wrinkles and aging
  • Moisturized  skin
  • Improved blood circulation
  • Tightened and lifted neck area
  • Improved complexion


Modern woman have embraced the use of acupuncture for facial cosmetic enhancement and fighting the aging process.  Facial
Rejuvenation with Acupuncture is used to rejuvenate the face and maintain a youthful allure. Acupuncture facelifts have been featured on ABC’s “Good Morning America”, NBC’s “Today Show”, The Rachel Ray Show, and even Martha Stewart.  

While not a replacement for surgery, Facial Rejuvenation with Acupuncture is an excellent alternative:

  • It is a natural and cost effective way to look and feel younger.
  • Virtually painless.
  • You look like yourself, not altered like most cosmetic surgeries
  • It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery or Botox injections.
  • It is safer and has no side effects or risks of disfigurement, unlike surgery or Botox.
  • There is no trauma from Facial Rejuvenation with Acupuncture.  Unlike surgery, there may be extended recovery   periods with swelling, discoloration and chance of infection.


While this procedure cannot reshape our facial features, it is a more subtle rejuvenation that can take years off one’s face safely and naturally while improving overall health.  The treatment involves insertion of tiny, disposable needles in specific acupuncture points.  The needles stimulate the flow of qi and blood, which improves the overall circulation to the face and body.  Facial Rejuvenation with Acupuncture treats the underlying cause of why someone is aging instead of masking the outward symptoms and allowing further decline and dysfunction to continue within the body.  It allows your own beauty
to come from within.
