Our offerings are designed to help you develop a deeper connection with your body, and to support and nourish all aspects of your health and wellbeing.
Holistic Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture enhances natural beauty and empowers you in your own skin. Your face is a reflection of your spirit and any internal imbalances in the body. Therefore, in addition to localized needling and attention to the face, these treatments include a full body treatment to rebalance the physical and mental wellbeing of the whole person. Using a combination of gentle acupuncture, facial massage, delicate gua sha, lifestyle and nutrition coaching, we treat your skin and body from the inside out.
What is facial acupuncture good for?
Facial acupuncture can boost collagen, reduce fine lines, promote lymphatic drainage, clear acne and congestion, release jaw tension, contour face, and improve skin tone. Other internal conditions, such as digestive issues, insomnia, stress, or menstrual issues, often also present on the face and are addressed in each session. Whether you are looking for support in aging gracefully, maintaining vibrancy and glow, or clearing congested, dull, and pigmented skin, facial acupuncture is a great all-natural and holistic solution for you.
How does facial acupuncture work?
Acupuncture stimulates your circulatory and lymphatic systems. Better circulation means more oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells, thus promoting enhanced complexion, hydrated skin, and vibrant glow. It also supports overall organ function and efficient detox. Tiny needles placed in the face also create “micro-trauma” underneath the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response to “repair” by producing more collagen and elastin. For optimal results, patients should receive facial treatments 1-2x a week, for a total of 10 sessions.
Each Signature Fountyn Facial Acupuncture session includes:
Fullbody Balancing Acupuncture
At the core of our facial acupuncture sessions is a holistic Chinese medicine evaluation. We do a full health history and regular acupuncture session to rebalance and clear the body.
Delicate Facial Needling
We use ultra-thin needles to treat the face and target specific acupuncture points, muscles or surface fine lines. Pain from needle insertion is minimal and does not require any anesthesia or recovery time.
Facial Cleanse and Massage
Before gentle facial needling, we use a gentle balm cleanser to massage the face, release tension, promote lymphatic drainage, and increase blood flow.
Facial Gua Sha
Once all needles are removed from the face, we use a white jade stone gua sha board to cool, lift, and shape the face. This traditional Chinese technique helps soothe and bring energy to the face.
Customized Botanical Facial Oils
Whether you have dry, hyper-pigmented, oily, combination, dehydrated, or acneic skin, our facial oils and products are customized to your skin type and the changing of seasons.
LED Light Therapy (add-on)
Light therapy improves cellular health by accelerating the repair of tissue cells. Different wavelengths support tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, improve skin tone, and decrease inflammation.
