Natural Facial Rejuvenation

A natural glow, from the inside out

Facial rejuvenation acupuncture (cosmetic acupuncture) places very fine needles in the face alongside body points that support overall balance. Combined with gua sha and gentle facial cupping, it supports circulation and tone for a refreshed, natural-looking glow.

Popular for

• Fine lines and loss of firmness
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Puffiness
• A relaxing reset that also feels good for the whole body
• Anyone preferring a non-surgical approach

What to expect

Sessions with Trace-Ace are 75 minutes. She starts by asking about your skin, health and goals. Fine needles are placed in the face and body, and you rest while they work. Gua sha and gentle facial cupping round out the session, supporting circulation and lymphatic flow. Most people find it deeply relaxing.

How many sessions?

Cosmetic acupuncture works gradually. A series of weekly sessions is usually recommended to start, followed by occasional maintenance visits. Some people also book a single session before an event for a refreshed look. Trace-Ace will suggest a plan that suits your goals.

Facial acupuncture or microneedling?

Facial acupuncture

Gentle, with little or no downtime. Best for tone, puffiness, tired-looking skin and anyone who wants a relaxing, whole-body treatment.

Microneedling

Focused on texture: acne scarring and other scars, enlarged pores and fine lines. Trace-Ace uses the Dermapen 4 and pairs every session with acupuncture. Expect some redness for a day or two. Because it is provided by a Registered Acupuncturist, it may be claimable through your extended health benefits, depending on your plan. About microneedling

Not sure which to choose? Book the one that appeals most and Trace-Ace can recommend the best fit, or combine the two over time.

Before you book

• Please wait at least 3 months after fillers or Botox.
• Let Trace-Ace know if you are pregnant, take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or have an active rash or infection on your face.
• Small bruises can occasionally appear where needles were placed, and fade within a few days, so allow some time before a big event.

Acupuncture is a complementary therapy. It works alongside, not instead of, care from your physician or specialist. Please tell your practitioner about any diagnoses, medications or pregnancy.
