What cosmetic acupuncture can support
Rediscover your skin's natural radiance with our non-toxic, natural approach helping you achieve rejuvenated, vibrant, and glowing skin from within.
Facial acupuncture focuses on the face while also using key body points to support whole-body balance.
It can help with:
*Dull or tired-looking skin
*Facial tension (brow, jaw, forehead)
*Uneven tone or texture
*Fine lines that look more pronounced with stress, poor sleep, or dehydration
Results are gradual and build with consistency. Everyone responds differently.
The Wellness Oasis approach
At Wellness Oasis, cosmetic acupuncture is not a "face-only" appointment. Your treatment is designed to support both:
1) Facial goals
Target facial points intended to support circulation and healthy tissue response.
2) Whole-body support
Important acupuncture points on the body are selected to support patterns that commonly affect the skin- such as stress load, sleep quality, digestion, and overall vitality.
This whole-person apporach helps your results look natural and "like you," not overdone.
What happens at your visit
Your first appointment typically includes:
- A brief intake to clarify goals, skin concerns, and relevant health history
- A facial assessment (tension patterns, tone, puffiness, texture)
- Cosmetic acupuncture + supportive body points
- Simple aftercare guidance so you know what to do between visits
How many sessions do I need?
Many people notice subtle changes early (often a "refreshed" look and deep relaxation). More meaningful changes typically require a series.
A common plan is:
- 8-10 sessions over 8-10 weeks, then
- Maintenance every 4-8 weeks, based on your goals
Treatment plans are highly personalized and customized for each person and their individual concerns and goals.
