We use Mei Zen cosmetic acupuncture. Mei Zen means “beautiful person”. Its core philosophy is to treat the entire person, not just the face. It promotes beauty from the inside out.

We first do acupuncture on your body, followed by acupuncture on your face and neck. The body acupuncture improves physical, emotional, and spiritual health. This improvement is reflected directly on your skin, especially the skin of your face. Additionally, we target points on the body that have the greatest effect on the neck and face.

The facial acupuncture prompts blood, and hence oxygen and nutrient flow to the face. It nourishes the skin, improves complexion, and creates a more vibrant appearance. The needles are placed just below the surface of the skin, at the precise depth of the dermis, promoting collagen and elastin production. The reported benefits of Mei Zen cosmetic acupuncture include:


  • reduction in wrinkling
  • prevention of sagging
  • firming of the skin
  • minimization of crow’s feet
  • improved skin tone
  • reduction or disappearance of fine lines
  • “leveling” of deeper lines
  • minimization of jowls
  • improved elasticity of facial muscles
  • improved collagen formation
  • improvement in acne and rosacea
  • softer and more vibrant skin
  • smoother cheeks
  • reduction in age spots for women
  • reduction in chest wrinkles

Cosmetic acupuncture is non-invasive, safe, effective, promotes overall health, and has none of the potential side effects associated with other cosmetic procedures.
