Looking for a natural and holistic approach to enhance your skin? Facial rejuvenation and cosmetic acupuncture combine local and distal acupuncture points to help you achieve healthier-looking skin from within.
The goal is to encourage Qi and blood flow to the face to help improve the overall complexion and to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles and scars naturally and without injectables.
For women in Toronto looking for a natural, needle-based alternative to Botox or fillers, cosmetic acupuncture offers visible results without synthetic ingredients or downtime.
By stimulating specific acupoints on the face and body, cosmetic acupuncture encourages increased blood flow, collagen production, and cell renewal. This natural process helps:
Gua sha facial massage and cupping are traditional techniques that complement cosmetic acupuncture, enhancing results and deepening relaxation. At Soma & Soul in Toronto Beaches, these treatments are often incorporated into your session for a truly restorative experience.
Gua Sha is administered through unidirectional stroking with a polished stone tool applied to the face and neck.
Cupping is a technique using soft silicone cups to create gentle suction. Combined with a facial serum, the cups are slid over the contours of the face.
We typically use rosehip oil, but you are welcome to bring your own oil if you prefer.
Each session is about 60 – 75 minutes in length. It begins with an in-depth review of your health to help create an individualized plan, followed by a full treatment.
A session may include a gua sha stone massage and/or cupping, in addition to the insertion of needles on specific body acupuncture points, and superfine acupuncture needles on the face.
Once the needles are set, you will be left to enjoy pure relaxation. Your acupuncturist will check in on you periodically and return at the end to remove all needles and conclude the treatment.
Our Toronto Beaches acupuncturists create a calm, nurturing space where you can fully relax and let the treatment unfold.
