1Acupuncture Facelift History
Facial Acupuncture or Acupuncture Facelift has been performed in China since the Sung Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago when it was performed on the Emperor’s concubines.
The Acupuncture Facelift treatment (aka Cosmetic Acupuncture, Facial Acupuncture) may delay the process of aging. Although cosmetic acupuncture is a process best started at a young age, improvements may be seen in those starting later.
Facial acupuncture may prevent and reduce lines and wrinkles, and is beneficial to maintain healthy, glowing skin for years to come.

2How Acupuncture Facelift Works
As we age, recurring facial expressions, combined with a thinning of the skin and declining collagen production, cause muscles to leave their marks on our faces as wrinkles – the furrows between our eyebrows and those crow’s feet at the outer corners of our eyes. Meanwhile other under-used muscles begin to lose tone and sag, such as the areas around our jaw, chin and neck.
Acupuncture face-lift may slow down this process, using very fine needles which are inserted superficially into acupuncture points on the face to improve skin texture, smoothness, clarity and tone. Facial acupuncture supports the overall health of the body with a focus on revitalizing the face.

3What can I expect from Cosmetic Acupuncture / Acupuncture Facelift?
- Cosmetic Acupuncture may erase as many as 5-10 years from the face. Results can last up to 3 to 5 years
- An acupuncture facelift may be an effective anti-wrinkle treatment; it may improve skin tone, smooth out the complexion and tighten pores
- Do you have Dry skin? Or Acne? Improved circulation and facial detoxification from this anti-aging procedure may correct and balance these issues
- You may expect to experience a deep relaxation and sense of well-being even after the very first treatment
- As acupuncture facelift is a full body health treatment, the results may reflect not only a change in your external appearance, but also an improvement in total body wellness and slow down of the aging process
4Does Cosmetic Acupuncture hurt?
- Cosmetic acupuncture is relatively painless. Areas of the face with a rich nerve supply (eg eyebrows, nasal labial fold) are more tender
- Acupuncture needles are very fine (0.12mm to 0.16mm); they are single-use and are individually wrapped in sterile packaging
- Acupuncture has no side effects. It can happen that a small light bruise appears at the site of needle insertion, however these incidences are seldom and any discolouration will clear up in a matter of a day or two
5Why should I choose Cosmetic Acupuncture in Toronto over Facial Fillers, Botox or Cosmetic Surgery?
While not a replacement for surgery, Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture may be an excellent alternative and an intelligent choice for the following reasons:
- Naturally improves skin tone without chemicals or injections
- Safe, non-invasive, no side effects, no down-time
- No risk of disfigurement
- Longer-lasting desired effect – a series of acupuncture facelift sessions with maintenance may keep you looking younger for years
- Cost effective

- A typical Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture treatment lasts for 55-65 minutes
- There is no down-time after a treatment; you are free to carry on with your day
8How many treatments do I require? What is the recommended treatment plan?
