Facial Acupuncture at Pulse Acupuncture: Revitalize Your Skin Naturally
What is Cosmetic Acupuncture and How Does It Work?
Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, is a traditional Chinese medicine technique aimed at enhancing skin health and appearance. For facial rejuvenation acupuncture, needless are inserted on the face in upward direction for lifting effect. Distal Points in facial rejuvenation acupuncture are any acupuncture point not located on the face or neck. They always are placed according to the underlying TCM pattern presenting in each client. The other key reason to use distal points is to keep the person “grounded” and stop too much blood (and qi) rushing to their head.
Features of Facial Acupuncture at Pulse Acupuncture in Brooklyn, NYC
Usually, needles are inserted using facial acupuncture points, under either end of the wrinkle to begin shortening it. This is a common technique to help prevent wrinkly elongating. In many cases the wrinkly will actually lift up during and after the treatment. This may worry the client, but it indicates a good result as it immediately moves blood. Facial cosmetic acupuncture works by tightening of connective tissue that is one of the main causes of changes in facial shape as we age. The best effect of acupuncture treatment is instant acupuncture face lift.
Combine Cosmetic Acupuncture With Other Treatments at Pulse Acupuncture in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Pulse Acupuncture, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, offers a range of complementary services to enhance and support the acupuncture treatment experience.
JADE GUA SHA
Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese Beauty tool which translates as “scraping board”. They target specific points on the face and so have a deeper therapeutic effect. Some limited research has been done on Gua Sha therapy and it shows an increase in microcirculation of up to 400% following a single treatment. This aids skin nutrition before Cosmetic Acupuncture Treatment.
COSMETIC CUPPING
Cosmetic cupping is performed as moving cupping in an upwards and outwards direction across the face. Cupping also produces all the usual benefits of massage such as increased lymphatic drainage, improved microcirculation. Additionally, research has shown that cupping may actually break up old connective tissue.
RED Light Therapeutic Devices
Using RED Light Therapeutic Devices in conjunction with Cosmetic Acupuncture gives good visible results. We use Celluma Red Light Therapy, Tomma Red therapy Dome and Far-Infrared/Near-Infrared Onnetsu Dome. Every session that red light is applied after facial acupuncture treatment, red light benefits the entire body, because factors released from cells which receive red light promote proper function in cells adjacent to them. Furthermore, blood cells also absorb red light, so as it passes the area of the body being exposed to red light, the light absorbed will then travel through the bloodstream and end up nourishing cells in other regions of the body. This means that all red light sessions reward the entire body as a whole or holistically. Red light therapeutic range: 620-700 nm. Red light protects the body from damaging radiation and bolster energy production inside every cell with which they interact.

Facial Acupuncture Review in Brooklyn
Dr. Marina Doktorman is sweet and amazing at what she does. I feel very comfortable with her and her practice is very clean and spa-like. I’ve been coming weekly for a month and noticed changes in my wellbeing. Using acupuncture she’s able to regulate my hormones, unblock my chakras, and overall improve my wellbeing. I love it and will continue weekly or biweekly treatments as long as my insurance is covered. I highly recommend her to anyone who is new to it or interested in acupuncture treatment. It’s very calming and relaxing!
Marina is the best acupuncturist I’ve been to. Expect a full service experience that changes with your needs whether you express them or aren’t sure what you need that day. (Marina is super intuitive and adjusts treatment accordingly!) Highly recommend going here, you’ll feel better mentally and physically as soon as you’re walking out!
Highly recommend! I have been to quite a few acupuncturists over the years and Pulse is by far my favorite and the most attentive. It is a full service of treating my back, front body and cupping (it does not feel rushed). I suffer from chronic neck pain from an old injury and go for postpartum symptoms relief. I always feel better after leaving. The office is beautiful and calming as well.
Marina relieved my back pain after just a couple of visits. I had been suffering for months and her method of treatments proved to be successful. As a doctor myself I can say that she has great bedside manner as well.
Marina is a great acupuncturist. She is very gentle, professional and caring. I’ve been seeing her on a weekly basis for over a month now to deal with severe fatigue and stress, and in no time the sessions have taken effect. I feel more centered, calm and filled of positive energy. I no longer suffer from insomnia, dizziness or intense anxiety. The practice where she receive appointments in Williamsburg is very nice, clean and comfortable that makes sessions very pleasant and relaxing. I’m very grateful to Marina for her care. Finally, she is very flexible for appointments and can even see a patient in the evening which is very convenient. I highly recommend her.
To understand what I'm talking about, you have to try it for yourself.After 10 minutes of the procedure, you get into a different reality. Marina is knowledgeable, answers all the questions. After the procedure, the skin of the face glows, the body becomes lighter by a couple of pounds. I've been looking for such a procedure and state of mind for a long time.
Pulse Acupuncture is exactly what I’ve been looking for to treat my migraines! Marina is knowledgeable, professional, asks probing questions and does fire cupping! She also has a very serene and clean office that makes me feel so relaxed and I never feel rushed during my sessions. Marina is truly incredible - her treatments help me mitigate migraines and I highly recommend her for any acupuncture/holistic health needs!! (I’ve tried other practitioners in the area and none have compared to Marina’s experience and professionalism.)
I used acupuncture for low back and SI joint pain. I have a chronic condition. After the 1st treatment pain reduced by 75%. I am very happy with the results. I'm coming back. Thank you!

Super pleased with my first appointment. Marina is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend.
When I first came to Marina, I felt constant pressure in my lower back, tension in my upper back and lack of energy. During the first session I could literally feel something shifting inside in those areas she was working on. Her touch was so gentle that I didn’t even feel the needles go in. The time stopped, I was relaxed, calm and peaceful. Besides acupuncture I had some cupping done as well. The cups relieved a great deal of pressure from my upper and lower back. After the session I immediately felt the effect. Have my next session scheduled for next week. I would definitely recommend Marina to those seeking holistic ways to deal with muscle, spine, and pain issues. She is a miracle worker!
