Repeated facial acupuncture is useful to change the skin condition
About your Condition
As the needles puncture the skin, they create wounds within its threshold, which are called positive microtraumas. When your body senses these wounds, it goes into repair mode.
This is the same idea microneedling uses to get bright, anti-aging results — except acupuncture is a bit less intense, averaging about 50 punctures. This helps improve elasticity, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.

Causes of the condition
Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, characterized by the formation of fine lines, creases, and folds in the skin. The primary causes of wrinkles include decreased production of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, repetitive facial expressions, smoking, poor nutrition, and environmental factors such as pollution and stress.
Benefits of acupuncture for the condition
Acupuncture offers a holistic approach to addressing wrinkles by promoting circulation, stimulating collagen production, improving skin elasticity, and reducing stress-related factors that contribute to premature aging. At AcuPro Clinic in London, our acupuncture treatments aim to rejuvenate the skin naturally, diminish the appearance of wrinkles, and promote a youthful complexion. With personalized care and gentle techniques, we help individuals achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Treatment process
Our acupuncture treatment process for wrinkles begins with a thorough assessment of your skin concerns, lifestyle factors, and overall health. During the acupuncture sessions, fine needles are strategically placed on specific acupoints to stimulate blood flow, activate collagen production, and promote cellular regeneration in the skin. Our experienced acupuncturists tailor each treatment plan to address your unique skin needs and support a youthful complexion.
Prevention tips
In addition to acupuncture treatment, adopting a comprehensive skincare routine and healthy lifestyle habits can help prevent and minimize the development of wrinkles. These include wearing sunscreen daily to protect against UV damage, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, getting adequate sleep, and managing stress levels.

Risk Factors
While acupuncture is generally safe, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with bleeding disorders, those taking blood-thinning medications, or those with pacemakers. It’s essential to discuss any pre-existing medical conditions with your acupuncturist before starting treatment.
Lifestyle recommendations
- Follow a consistent skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting your skin from UV damage with sunscreen.
- Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats to provide essential nutrients that support skin health and vitality.
- Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or acupuncture to minimize stress-related factors that contribute to premature aging and wrinkles.
Aftercare advice
After each acupuncture session, prioritize gentle skincare practices, such as using hydrating serums and moisturizers, to support the skin’s healing process and enhance the effectiveness of your treatment. Follow any recommendations provided by your acupuncturist, such as dietary adjustments or lifestyle changes, to optimize skin health and maintain a youthful complexion. Additionally, schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
