Cosmetic Treatments

Cosmetic treatments offer a non-surgical approach to skin health by improving circulation, supporting collagen production, and addressing underlying patterns that contribute to aging and skin changes. These may include cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, light therapy, and adjunct techniques based on your goals.

​

How It Works

Our cosmetic treatments combine local skin treatment with full-body acupuncture to support circulation, tissue repair, and overall balance. By improving blood flow and cellular activity, treatment may help reduce fine lines, improve tone, and support long-term skin health.

​

Additional therapies such as microneedling and light therapy may be incorporated to further support collagen production and skin renewal.

​

​

Treatment Approach

Cosmetic treatments are typically performed as a series, with protocols tailored to your skin concerns and goals. Initial treatment plans often involve multiple sessions over a defined period, followed by maintenance treatments to support ongoing results.

 

Care is adjusted based on response, with the goal of achieving gradual, sustained improvement rather than short-term cosmetic change.

​

What to Expect

Treatments are non-surgical and require little to no downtime, depending on the modality used. Some treatments, such as microneedling, may involve temporary redness or sensitivity.

Results develop over time with consistent treatment and are supported by maintenance care.

​

Insurance & Coverage

Cosmetic treatments are not billable to insurance and are considered elective services.

​

Because these treatments are performed as a series, package pricing may be available based on recommended protocols to reduce overall cost compared to single-session pricing.​
