Facial Acupuncture at Pulse Acupuncture: Natural Rejuvenation for Your Skin
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?

For facial rejuvenation acupuncture, needles are inserted on the face in an upward direction to achieve a lifting effect. Distal points, which are acupuncture points located away from the face and neck, are selected based on the individual’s specific Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pattern. These distal points help to keep the client “grounded” and prevent excessive blood and qi from rushing to the head.
Features of Cosmetic Acupuncture at Pulse Acupuncture in Clifton, NJ
Typically, in facial acupuncture, needles are inserted at points on either end of a wrinkle to help shorten and prevent its elongation. It’s common for the treated area to visibly lift during and after the session. While this might initially concern the client, it’s a positive sign, indicating effective blood movement. Facial cosmetic acupuncture targets the tightening of connective tissue, which is crucial for maintaining facial shape as we age. The most immediate benefit of this treatment is often described as an instant acupuncture facelift.
Complementary Products During the Treatment at Pulse Acupuncture in Clifton, NJ
Pulse Acupuncture, located in Clifton, NJ, offers a range of complementary products to enhance and support the acupuncture treatment experience.
JADE GUA SHA
Gua Sha, an ancient Chinese beauty tool known as the “scraping board,” targets specific points on the face, offering deep therapeutic benefits. Preliminary research on Gua Sha therapy indicates that it can increase microcirculation by up to 400% after just one session. This boost in circulation enhances skin nutrition, which is beneficial prior to undergoing Cosmetic Acupuncture Treatment.
COSMETIC CUPPING
Cosmetic cupping involves moving cups in an upward and outward direction across the face, mimicking the technique of massage. This method not only enhances lymphatic drainage and improves microcirculation, similar to traditional massage benefits, but research also suggests that cupping can help break down old connective tissue.
RED Light Therapeutic Devices
Integrating RED Light Therapy with Cosmetic Acupuncture yields significant visible improvements. We utilize technologies such as Celluma Red Light Therapy, Tomma Red Therapy Dome, and the Far-Infrared/Near-Infrared Onnetsu Dome. When red light is used post-facial acupuncture, it benefits not only the treated area but the entire body. Red light stimulates cellular release of factors that enhance function in adjacent cells. Additionally, as blood cells absorb red light during treatment, this light is transported via the bloodstream to nourish cells throughout the body, offering holistic benefits. The therapeutic range for red light is 620-700 nm, which helps protect the body from damaging radiation and boosts energy production within cells.
The Benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture
Here are some benefits of facial acupuncture:
- Reduces deep wrinkles
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Diminishes puffiness
- Relieves tension and improves muscle tone
- Helps reduce acne and age spots
- Enhances blood and lymph circulation
- Promotes lymphatic drainage
- Alleviates jaw tension and TMJ symptoms
- Rejuvenates the skin
Side Effects of Cosmetic Acupuncture
Potential side effects of facial acupuncture include:
- Bruising
- Bleeding
- Dizziness
To minimize these risks, it’s crucial to choose a licensed and experienced acupuncturist.

I hope this message finds you well! I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact your acupuncture sessions have had on my life. Your expertise and care have helped me find relief and healing in ways I never thought possible.
When I first sought acupuncture, I was struggling with a combination of issues that affected my overall well-being. Chronic back pain was causing constant discomfort, and my restless nights were dominated by persistent night sweats. Additionally, I was battling frustrating skin issues that seemed to resist all other forms of treatment.
From the very first session, I knew I was in good hands. Your thorough understanding of my concerns and willingness to explain the acupuncture process put me at ease. The ambiance of your clinic created a serene and comforting space, setting the tone for a transformative healing journey.

After a few sessions, I began experiencing deep, uninterrupted sleep, waking up refreshed and energized—a change I had been longing for, but never found through other methods.
Furthermore, the improvement in my skin condition was remarkable. Acupuncture seemed to trigger a healing response, and gradually, my skin issues started to fade away. I couldn't believe the visible transformation, and it did wonders for my self-confidence.
As for the night sweats and back pain, they became less frequent and intense with each session. Your targeted approach and skillful needle placement directly addressed the root causes of my discomfort, providing much-needed relief and easing the burdens I had carried for far too long.
