Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your face and body. Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain, promote overall wellness, including stress management, and for cosmetic purposes.

Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and a belief that inserting needles into specific points along meridians will rebalance energy flow, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue.

Facial acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture, can enhance the production of collagen via micro-injury to the skin, increase blood flow, stimulate immune responses that reduce inflammation, and activate any number of functional points that have various responses, like reducing jaw tension or relieving anxiety.

Acupuncture and Cupping at AMAN Spa is performed by a Naturopathic Doctor and is insurance reimbursable.
