The Acupuncture Facial

What is The Acupuncture Facial?

It’s the newest collaborative beauty treatment from Rachael L. Webb, LAc and Elizabeth Markham LE.  Together we work at In-Symmetry Wellness Spa where we help professional women feel beautiful inside & out by integrating ancient and modern skin care.

Our goal is to use the ancient art of acupuncture to harmonize the body’s systems on an internal level, rectifying the psyche and the emotions, so that true beauty – that integral part of who we know we are on the inside – can shine forth from within.

This goal is achieved by our exclusive Acupuncture Facial.

This two-part treatment, includes a 90-minute Acupuncture Session to address imbalances in the body’s systems, along with focused micro-needling of the face to target fine lines, age spots, acne, acne scars, and other skin care concerns.

The acupuncture needles inserted into the face are very, very thin – like a cat’s whisker, or a strand of hair.  They activate and tone the facial muscles under the skin, and help facilitate the flow of blood and nutrients to the areas of focus. This increased blood flow can also stimulate the fibroblasts in the area.  Fibroblasts are one of the cells found in connective tissue that produce collagen and elastin.  Collagen gives your skin strength, and elastin enables the skin to stretch and bounce back to it’s original shape.

Micro-needling uses teeny tiny intra-dermal needles.  These needles are so small that I cannot hold them in my hand, and must use tweezers to insert them!  This type of needling creates precise micro-channels in the upper most layer of the skin, further stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the specific areas you want to focus on.

After your acupuncture session, you’ll go into Elizabeth’s room for a 1-hour Customized Facial using Phyt’s Organic Skin Care line.

The PHYT’S skin care line has been manufactured in the south of France for over 35 years. From its inception the philosophy behind the line was to create a skin care that was totally natural. A product line that is manufactured with 100% natural origin ingredients.

Since the micro-needleing has opened the micro-channels in the specific areas you want to focus on, these organic skin care products can penetrate the skin deeply and more effectively, yielding better results faster!

You may remember when I talked about the ladies of Rodan + Fields using Chinese Medicine in their modern skin care practice when I wrote about them here.  This is the same technology as their AMP MD Roller that also creates micro-channels in the skin.

The difference is that in our Acupuncture Facial treatment, the needling is focused on the specific areas you want to address, and when Elizabeth selects the appropriate professional skin care products for you, they only target those specific areas – leading to better results faster.
