Cosmetic Acupuncture in Melbourne

Facial Rejuvenation And Firmer Skin

Cosmetic acupuncture offers a gentle, drug-free approach to facial rejuvenation and skin vitality, combining traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles with targeted facial needling. This is not about chasing lines or freezing expression. It’s about improving circulation, tone, and the body’s own regenerative processes, while supporting the nervous system and internal balance.

What Is Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture involves the use of ultra-fine, sterile needles placed on the face, scalp, and body. On the face, the needling is designed to:

• Increase local blood flow and collagen production
• Encourage muscle tone and facial symmetry
• Support the skin’s elasticity and hydration
• Address areas of tightness, stagnation, or puffiness

Points on the body are also used to address underlying patterns contributing to skin quality, including stress, digestion, sleep, and hormonal rhythms.

Who Is This For?

Cosmetic acupuncture is suitable for anyone wanting to:

• Improve skin texture, tone or clarity
• Support facial muscle balance or tension (e.g. jaw tightness, asymmetry)
• Explore natural, non-invasive methods of aesthetic care
• Reduce puffiness or dullness linked to circulation or stagnation

It’s commonly chosen by people seeking a gentler alternative to injectables, or those who prefer a whole-body approach to skin health. Jesse combines pulse, palpation, and functional movement assessment to guide treatment decisions.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Visible changes often begin after a few sessions, but like training or mobility work, results tend to build over time. Jesse usually recommends a series of treatments spaced weekly or fortnightly, followed by maintenance sessions depending on your goals.

He’ll assess your needs during your initial consult and give clear guidance on what’s realistic.

Is There Downtime?

No. Cosmetic acupuncture doesn’t involve chemicals, fillers, or long recovery periods. You may see some light redness or rarely a small bruise, but most people leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and more vibrant, even after the first session.

Sessions are also calming. Many clients report improved sleep, digestion, or stress resilience after a course of treatments, a natural side effect of working with the whole system.
