“My puffiness won’t go away.” “Sagging bothers me.” “I want my nasolabial folds less visible.” These are facial concerns every woman faces at some point.
Did you know that “beauty acupuncture” can resolve them?
In this article, we explain the benefits of beauty acupuncture and how to choose a salon in detail, so that even first-timers can receive treatment with confidence.
If you want a clean facial line and trouble-free skin, do read on.
What Is Beauty Acupuncture?
“Beauty acupuncture” is a treatment inspired by the acupuncture of East Asian medicine: fine needles are placed at the face’s acupoints and muscles.
It is a beauty method that promotes blood flow, rejuvenates the expression muscles, and improves the skin’s tissue.
Did you know the skin of the face consists of three layers — epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue?
In beauty acupuncture, the needles make tiny wounds in the dermis.
To heal those wounds, the body’s natural healing power goes to work: collagen and elastin are produced, and the skin’s firmness and elasticity improve. The skin’s condition is restored, and a youthful impression follows.
It is a beauty method popular across a broad range of ages, and since there is almost no pain, even first-timers can receive it with peace of mind.
What Benefits Can You Expect from Beauty Acupuncture?
Beauty acupuncture’s greatest hallmark is its immediacy — visible change in the face right after treatment.
Beyond lifting and a smaller-face effect, it works on concerns like sagging, dark circles, nasolabial folds, and wrinkles.
It also brings synergy for issues beyond the face — stiff shoulders, headaches, irregular periods, menopausal symptoms — and the ability to improve whole-body concerns in a single session is a major part of its appeal.
Let us explain three of those benefits in detail.
Improving Sagging and Nasolabial Folds
Facial sagging and nasolabial folds appear as muscles weaken with age, blood flow worsens, and the skin loses elasticity.
Beauty acupuncture places needles at the face’s acupoints and muscles, promoting blood flow — so a tightening of the weakened expression muscles can be expected.
This stimulation encourages the skin’s collagen production, and as elasticity and firmness improve, sagging and nasolabial folds become less noticeable.
Improving Puffiness
Puffiness is a state where stagnant blood and lymph let excess fluid accumulate, making the face and body look swollen.
Beauty acupuncture places needles at acupoints on the face and body, promoting blood and lymph flow and helping expel waste and excess fluid.
Puffiness clears, and the face takes on a firmer impression.
Improving Facial Distortion
Facial distortion arises readily when poor daily posture, a habit of chewing on one side, stress, and the like create imbalance in the muscles and bone structure.
Beauty acupuncture places needles in the facial muscles and acupoints, loosening muscular tension and improving blood flow to help resolve the distortion.
As the needles’ stimulation relaxes the muscles and left–right balance is restored, the facial line grows cleaner and the distortion less noticeable.
Moreover, facial distortion is tied not only to the face but to whole-body posture and how the muscles are used.
Beauty acupuncture also balances the entire body — so aim to improve distortion at the root and reach a healthier, more beautiful facial line.
How to Choose a Beauty Acupuncture Salon
So how should you choose a salon?
First-timers especially will wonder, so here are the key points for finding the salon that fits you.
Menu Scope: Face Only, or Face & Body
First, take a moment to consider: do you want to focus care on the face alone, or care for face and body together?
Clarifying the priority of your concerns lets you choose the more effective treatment.
Good Access
Beauty acupuncture is known for its immediacy, but for the first three months we recommend regular sessions, roughly once every one to two weeks.
Care taken firmly in this period makes the effects more tangible, and with continued treatment the effects also last longer.
Choosing an easy-to-visit location matters too.
Pick a salon near home or work and you can attend regularly without strain — reducing the burden and letting you continue treatment effectively.
Who Is Beauty Acupuncture Recommended For?
So which concerns does beauty acupuncture help? Let us focus on the three most common.
Those Who Want to Improve Facial Sagging
Beauty acupuncture is an effective way to improve facial sagging.
Stimulating the facial muscles and acupoints promotes circulation, and the sagging skin tightens — so a lifting effect can be expected.
Production of collagen and elastin is also promoted, improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
With continued treatment, fundamental improvement of sagging is possible — especially recommended for those aiming at a youthful facial line.
Those Concerned About a Prominent Jaw
We also recommend beauty acupuncture to those concerned about jaw prominence.
Jaw flare is often caused by tension in the masseter — the muscle used for chewing — and beauty acupuncture can ease that muscular tension.
Relax the muscle with needles and curb the excess tightness, and the area around the face grows cleaner.
The balance of the muscles around the jaw is restored, and a smaller-face effect can be expected too.
Those Concerned About Skin Trouble
Beauty acupuncture is also effective for those troubled by rough skin.
Promoting the skin’s metabolism and improving blood flow raises its regenerative power.
The needles stimulate the skin’s cells, promoting production of collagen and elastin.
It particularly suits those troubled by dryness, acne, or sensitive skin, conditioning overall skin quality and drawing out natural beauty.
Why not experience beauty acupuncture for yourself — improving rough skin and guiding it toward health?
For Beauty Acupuncture in Ebisu: KADOMORI’s Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture
If you are looking for beauty acupuncture in Ebisu, please visit KADOMORI.
Our strength is treatment matched to each person’s skin, muscle firmness, and fat thickness. Using roughly 100 needles, we deliver the beauty acupuncture of the ultimate small-face salon — an experience found nowhere else.
【Treatment flow】
Before treatment, thorough counseling identifies the cause of your concerns.
We then grasp the balance of your bone structure and muscles, confirm correct muscle movement, and proceed to treatment.
First, a massage to assess your condition — easing tension while checking your muscular balance. With the state of the fat understood, the needles are arranged correctly to target your concerns as quickly as possible.
Next, roughly 100 needles are placed, their positions adjusted to your concerns. With the needles retained, a current is applied to draw out further effect.
Afterward comes growth-factor therapy: once the needles are removed, the face is loosened, and a fine-particle spray containing vitamins, collagen, and anti-aging components is misted on and swept in with a gua sha tool.
Finally, you confirm your face’s condition, we advise on everyday habits and simple home care — and the treatment is complete.
