Does Beauty Acupuncture Hurt? Expected Benefits and Ways to Avoid Pain

Beauty acupuncture is a treatment that approaches from within the body by placing needles.

While it can be expected to deliver wonderful beauty benefits, there’s also a real rumor that “it hurts” or “beauty acupuncture is actually painful.”

The conclusion: beauty acupuncture involves almost no pain, but depending on your physical condition and constitution, you may feel a slight prick.

This article details the benefits you can expect from beauty acupuncture, methods to avoid feeling pain, and KADOMORI’s “Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture.”

What Kind of Treatment Is Beauty Acupuncture?

Beauty acupuncture is a treatment that places thin needles into the face and body, drawing out beauty from within the skin.

Using needles promotes circulation, making puffiness and dullness easier to clear.

It also stimulates the facial muscles, connecting to lifting and improving sagging.

The appeal of beauty acupuncture is that it regulates your skin’s condition through a natural approach.

Continued treatment can increase skin firmness and translucence, and brighten your expression too.

What Benefits Can You Expect from Beauty Acupuncture?

Beauty acupuncture can be expected to deliver many benefits — a lifting effect, sagging improvement, and resolving a double chin.

It’s recommended not just for those normally focused on beauty, but for anyone who wants to protect their current skin condition.

Here we detail the benefits you can expect from beauty acupuncture.

Lifting Effect

Beauty acupuncture can be expected to deliver a lifting effect.

With age, the expression muscles weaken and the skin tends to sag, but placing needles stimulates the muscles, leading to natural tightening.

Circulation also improves, so firmness arises from within the skin, and you may feel a sensation of your cheeks and facial line becoming cleaner.

Because no scalpel is used, unlike surgery there’s almost no downtime, and many people feel a change right after treatment.

For many, the lifting effect brightens their expression and builds confidence.

Resolving Sagging

Sagging is caused not just by the skin, but by loose muscles and reduced collagen.

Beauty acupuncture stimulates the muscles and acupoints deep within the face, drawing out their original strength.

This stimulation promotes collagen production, letting the skin lift from within with a plumper feel.

Because concerning areas like the cheeks and eye area can be intensively cared for, preventing and improving sagging can be achieved simultaneously.

With continued treatment, you may gradually feel your whole face tightening.

Resolving a Double Chin

A double chin is caused not just by fat, but also by poor posture and weakened muscles.

Beauty acupuncture can be expected to stimulate the muscles around the jaw, tightening loosened muscles.

Also, as circulation improves, metabolism improves too, helping burn off excess fat.

As a result, puffiness throughout the face improves, and you may feel your facial line become cleaner after treatment.

More people are also receiving it as double-chin care, so they can feel confident with their mask off.

Skin Improvement from Better Circulation

Beauty acupuncture can also be expected to improve skin quality through better circulation.

The needle’s stimulation widens blood vessels, allowing nutrients to reach skin cells more thoroughly.

As a result, some people feel dullness clear and their complexion brighten.

Furthermore, as metabolism becomes more active, skin turnover normalizes, easing troubles like acne scars and dryness.

Because it brings you closer to healthy skin from within, it’s also a recommended treatment for those who felt skincare alone wasn’t quite enough.

Does Beauty Acupuncture Hurt?

Beauty acupuncture is a treatment where many people feel little pain and find it pleasant.

The needles are extremely thin, and the sensation of insertion is momentary, so there isn’t much pain.

However, depending on your physical condition, constitution, and skin condition, you may feel some pain.

Here we introduce cases where beauty acupuncture can cause pain.

Depends on Physical Condition and Constitution

How much pain you feel from beauty acupuncture varies depending on your physical condition and constitution.

If you’re normally fatigued or feeling stressed, your body can become more sensitive, and even slight stimulation may feel painful.

Also, those who are naturally sensitive to pain, or receiving acupuncture for the first time, may feel a stronger “prick” sensation.

Conversely, when you’re relaxed or your body is warm, you’ll feel almost no pain.

The needles used in beauty acupuncture are extremely thin — about the thickness of a hair — so much so that some people fall asleep during treatment.

If it concerns you, letting the staff know your condition beforehand lets them proceed with a gentler approach, so you can feel at ease.

Areas with Rough Skin May Feel Pain

While beauty acupuncture is generally said to involve little pain, inserting a needle into rough skin may cause some pain.

Areas sensitive from acne or dryness are more easily stimulated when a needle is inserted.

However, this pain is momentary and rarely persists.

If rough skin concerns you, it may be good to wait until your skin condition settles before receiving treatment.

Continuing beauty acupuncture can also be expected to improve circulation, which can lead to improvement of rough skin.

Bruising Can Sometimes Occur

Rarely, bruising can occur after beauty acupuncture treatment.

This is a natural reaction that occurs when a needle touches a capillary.

Hearing “bruising” may sound concerning, but it naturally disappears within about one to two weeks.

You may not notice it right after treatment, and it can look like a blue-black mark the next day, but it’s usually something that can be covered with foundation.

Those with thin blood vessels or thin skin tend to bruise more easily.

You’ll receive an explanation before treatment, so please feel free to ask if you’re concerned.

What Methods Help Avoid Feeling Pain During Beauty Acupuncture?

If the pain of beauty acupuncture concerns you, there are ways to reduce the burden as much as possible.

For example, using thinner needles or reducing the number of needles.

As mentioned earlier, how pain feels varies depending on your physical condition and skin condition that day, so it’s recommended to consult beforehand.

Here we introduce two methods for not feeling pain during beauty acupuncture.

Use Thinner Needles

To reduce pain during beauty acupuncture, one method is using thinner needles.

Needles are said to be about the thickness of a hair, but thickness still varies by type.

Generally, the thinner the needle, the less burden on the skin, and the less pain felt when inserted.

For those receiving beauty acupuncture for the first time, or those sensitive to pain, we recommend using the thinnest needle possible.

Thinner needles may have a gentler effect, but receiving treatment continuously several times lets you firmly feel the change.

Reduce the Number of Needles

If the pain of beauty acupuncture concerns you, reducing the number of needles used is another method.

Using more needles can enhance the effect, but more needles also means more insertions, increasing how often you feel pain.

For your first treatment or if you’re anxious about pain, let us know you’d like to “start with fewer needles.”

Even with fewer needles, precisely stimulating the facial acupoints and muscles can be expected to deliver sufficient effect.

As you become accustomed to treatment, gradually increasing the number of needles can also ease your resistance to pain.
