Maintenance
Cosmetic acupuncture is a facial-focused approach that applies traditional acupuncture techniques to support skin-related concerns. While traditional acupuncture is often used for systemic wellness, this approach is directed toward the face and skin appearance. Originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is now adapted for cosmetic use to address visible skin concerns.
It is often used to support skin tone, improve overall appearance, and promote circulation in facial tissues. Rather than producing immediate or dramatic change, cosmetic acupuncture is positioned as a gradual, supportive approach to maintaining skin quality over time.
About Our Acupuncturist in North Vancouver
Cosmetic acupuncture at Celebrity Laser & Skin Care is provided by Saloomeh Abrishami (Sali), a Registered Acupuncturist certified by the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture of BC (CTCMA of BC) with the registration number# 04690.
Cosmetic acupuncture involves the placement of fine needles at specific facial points to provide controlled stimulation within the skin and underlying tissues. This process can contribute to a gradual collagen response and support improved circulation within the treated areas, helping maintain skin structure over time.
The stimulation may also influence facial muscle tone and support lymphatic movement, which can affect how fluid is distributed in the skin. These responses occur progressively and vary between individuals. While laser-based techniques exist, they are considered a separate modality and are not a standard component of cosmetic acupuncture treatments.
These combined effects may support collagen activity, improve circulation, influence muscle tone, and assist lymphatic movement. Together, these responses can contribute to gradual improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Cosmetic acupuncture is applied to selected areas where skin quality, tone, and structural support may change over time, with treatment adapted based on sensitivity and goals.
Treatable Areas with Cosmetic Acupuncture in North Vancouver
These areas are commonly addressed due to differences in skin thickness, sensitivity, and how visible aging or texture changes tend to develop across the face and body.
- Face: Commonly treated for overall skin quality, where approach varies by region to address tone, texture, and visible signs of aging.
- Neck: This area may show early laxity; treatment is typically adjusted for thinner skin and sensitivity, with a focus on gradual support.
- Décolletage (chest area): Often affected by sun exposure and skin thinning; treatment is applied more gently due to increased sensitivity.
- Hands: Visible aging may appear earlier here; approach is adapted for thinner skin and lower tissue density.
- Under eyes: A delicate area prone to puffiness and dark circles; treatment is more precise with attention to sensitivity.
- Cheeks: Volume and tone changes may occur over time; treatment may focus on supporting skin structure and overall balance.
- Jawline: Mild contour changes may develop; treatment is adjusted to support definition without aggressive intervention.
Treatable Concerns with Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture in North Vancouver
These concerns are typically addressed when changes in skin appearance develop gradually, often influenced by circulation, muscle tone, and overall skin condition.
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Subtle facial stimulation may support gradual softening of superficial lines by encouraging improved skin function over time.
- Loss of skin elasticity: Treatment may contribute to improved skin support, helping maintain firmness where early laxity is present.
- Uneven skin tone and texture: Improved circulation may support a more even appearance, contributing to gradual refinement in tone and surface texture.
- Acne scars: Mild textural irregularities may improve over time as the skin responds to repeated stimulation within a structured treatment plan.
- Puffiness / under-eye bags: Treatment may support fluid movement, which can contribute to reduced puffiness in sensitive areas such as under the eyes.
- Dark circles: Circulatory support may help improve the appearance of discoloration, though results vary based on underlying causes.
- Dull complexion: Enhanced circulation may contribute to a more refreshed appearance and improved overall skin tone.
- Mild sagging skin: Treatment may support gradual structural improvement, though changes are typically subtle and develop over time.
- Overall skin rejuvenation: Cosmetic acupuncture is often used to support overall skin quality, supporting a more balanced skin appearance over time.
Cosmetic acupuncture may be suitable for adults, typically 30 and older, seeking natural approaches to skin improvement. It is often considered by individuals who prefer to avoid injectables and are addressing mild to moderate concerns across a range of skin types.
It is generally suited for those who understand that changes are gradual and require multiple sessions. This approach is not intended to replace injectables or provide immediate structural correction.
Who May Need Medical Clearance
The following situations may require additional evaluation before proceeding with treatment to ensure safety and appropriate clinical planning.
- Pregnancy: consultation recommended before treatment
- Bleeding disorders: suitability requires clinical review
- Use of blood-thinning medications: may affect treatment planning
- Skin infections or irritation in treatment area: treatment may be delayed
Who May Not Be Ideal Candidates
Certain expectations or conditions may not align with the gradual nature of cosmetic acupuncture and may require alternative or additional treatment approaches.
- Severe skin laxity – may require alternative approaches
- Expectation of immediate lifting – results develop gradually
- Desire for filler-level volume correction – not addressed by this treatment
Understanding the treatment process can help set realistic expectations and reduce uncertainty, particularly for those new to cosmetic acupuncture or concerned about needle-based therapies.
Before Cosmetic Acupuncture Treatment
A consultation is completed to review your health history, current skin condition, and overall suitability. We perform a skin evaluation and discuss your goals and expectations to establish a realistic plan. For individuals concerned about needles, the process is explained clearly to reduce uncertainty and support comfort.
During cosmetic acupuncture therapy
Fine, sterile needles are placed at selected facial and body points as part of a structured treatment approach. Sensations are typically mild and brief, with most individuals describing the experience as tolerable. Sessions take place in a quiet environment and are usually completed within a standard clinical timeframe.
After Treatment
Mild redness may appear in treated areas and usually settles within a short period. Occasional minor bruising can occur depending on individual sensitivity. There is no significant downtime, and most people return to normal activities the same day. Some may notice an early, subtle improvement in skin appearance.
Cosmetic Acupuncture Results
Some individuals may observe early changes such as improved skin brightness after initial sessions. Results typically develop gradually over a series of treatments, with variation depending on skin condition, lifestyle factors, and consistency of care.
The cost depends on the area and number of treatments, starting from $200. Pricing also depends on session length and the number of sessions recommended based on individual goals and treatment planning.
During consultation, an assessment is completed to develop a personalized plan, and final pricing is determined after evaluation. Financing may be available to support flexible payment arrangements over time.
At Celebrity Laser Care, options with rates as low as 0% interest may allow treatment to begin while payments are made gradually. You may schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment options.
Results from cosmetic acupuncture are gradual and not permanent, as skin condition continues to change over time. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to help support ongoing skin quality, with frequency varying based on individual skin condition and response to treatment.
Lifestyle factors such as skincare routine, stress levels, and overall health can influence how results are maintained. At Celebrity Laser & Skin Care, treatment plans are typically reviewed over time, allowing adjustments to support a consistent and long-term approach to care.

Many first-time patients are concerned that acupuncture needles will feel like hypodermic injections at the doctor’s office. They won’t. Acupuncture uses hair-thin, flexible needles that you will hardly feel when our Acupuncturist inserts them.

Patients often describe de qi as a heavy, achy pressure, or spreading, traveling feeling. You may also feel an “electrical” sensation moving down the meridian pathways, though this is less common. Most patients find these acupuncture sensations deeply satisfying and leave the treatment feeling relaxed both mentally and physically.

As required by law, she uses pre-sterilized, disposable, single-use needles to ensure your complete safety.
