Our signature East Meets West cosmetic facial acupuncture combines multiple treatments to provide natural and effective anti-aging rejuvenation.
Layne is trained and certified to perform facial rejuvenation acupuncture and Michelle Gellis. By carefully selecting needle placements depending upon your skin concerns, we expect to see visible changes in as little as 5 weeks. Our cosmetic acupuncture facials begin with facial massage, followed by needle insertion and Celluma LED light therapy application, and ends with facial cupping.

How Does it Work?
The most common reason for seeking cosmetic acupuncture is as a holistic alternative to botox - to improve the elasticity of sagging skin and facial muscle groups, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, we can also use these methods and products to treat acne-related concerns, dry or oily skin, inflammation or discoloration on the face, etc. You can expect brighter, more nourished skin (no more Denver Colorado dryness!) in addition to reversal of signs of aging, blemishes and discolored skin.
How many treatments will I need?
We recommend an initial course of 10 treatments over the span of 5 weeks for most skin concerns. After that we will discuss follow-up maintenance specific to your skin. We do offer individual cosmetic acupuncture sessions, but recommend a free consultation before booking to make sure a single session is right for you.

Are there any side effects?
There is no down time after cosmetic acupuncture treatments - you can go about your day as usual and will likely feel and look better than before! As with any acupuncture treatment, there is always a very slight chance of bleeding or bruising. Please let us know if you are receiving your treatment before a big event (for example, a wedding or photoshoot).
How Should I prepare for my cosmetic acupuncture appointment?
Please arrive with your skin free of make-up or products. As with any acupuncture treatment, we always recommend eating a small snack before you see us.
