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 was a patient of Marina Doktorma for about two weeks (October/November 2020), receiving acupuncture treatments for lower back and knee pain. Marina is a true professional. Before beginning each treatment, she explained the treatment options and made sure that I was well informed and comfortable before beginning. She was very gentle as she administered the treatments, (I feel asleep a few times) communicating with me throughout the process. In addition to the premise being very clean, relaxing music made for a very calming experience. Without hesitation, I would return for future treatments if the pain returns. Kenny.
