Before Your First Visit
New Client Information
A little preparation makes your first treatment feel effortless. Here is everything to know before you arrive.
Your first visit, step by step
Lifestyle, diet, digestion, hormones, and stress: what's truly driving your skin.
Cosmetic and full-body acupuncture with your choice of one signature enhancement.
No downtime, just a natural post-glow that gets better over the next few days.
Does it hurt?
The needles are hair-fine and placed gently. Most clients feel nothing, or the sensation of a bubble bursting, followed by a deep sense of relaxation.
“Her gentle touch is perfect for someone like me who can be a bit uneasy with acupuncture. I realized immediately I had absolutely nothing to fear.”

Before Your Visit
- Arrive with a clean face: no makeup, SPF, or skincare products.
- Try to avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment.
- Wear loose fitting pants or shorts.
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive, let us know in advance so we can tailor your treatment safely.
- If you have had Botox or other neurotoxin injections, please wait at least 2 weeks before cosmetic acupuncture so we can treat safely and support the best results.
Aftercare & Healing
There is no downtime after Cosmetic Acupuncture, just a natural post-glow that gets better over the next few days as circulation and collagen activation increase.
To get the best and longest-lasting results, we recommend:
- Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol for the rest of the day. It can deplete fluids and slow your body's healing response.
- Take it easy. Let your nervous system stay in the relaxed, parasympathetic state your treatment created.
- Hydrate well. Your skin and body need that internal moisture to carry nutrients to the surface.
Similar to going to the gym, your results are cumulative. Each treatment strengthens your skin's foundation, supporting long-term lift, tone, and radiance from within. Depending on your goals, 12 sessions is the standard recommendation for those starting out.
