Why So Many Aucklanders Trust Us For Facial Acupuncture

Our facial acupuncture treatments offer visible rejuvenation by working with your body — not against it.

At Interactive Therapies, we combine expert technique with personalised care to target the root causes of facial ageing, helping to improve tone, reduce puffiness, and restore a natural, healthy glow.

What Our Facial Acupuncture Targets

Facial acupuncture offers a gentle yet powerful alternative to invasive cosmetic treatments. By stimulating specific points along the face and body, it promotes microcirculation, collagen production, and muscular relaxation — all while supporting the body’s natural healing systems.

This holistic approach helps restore facial vitality, balance internal stress, and improve skin health from the inside out.

Fine lines and wrinkles

Targets the root of expression lines by relaxing tension and stimulating collagen to smooth and soften.

Dull or Uneven Skin Tone

Enhances blood flow and oxygenation to brighten and even out skin tone for a more radiant complexion.

Loss of Elasticity or Sagging Skin

Encourages firmer, more lifted skin by stimulating fibroblasts and supporting natural elasticity.

Puffiness (e.g. under the eyes)

Reduces fluid retention and improves lymphatic drainage to minimise swelling and under-eye bags.

Acne, Rosacea, or Scarring

Calms inflammation and supports skin repair by regulating hormonal balance and promoting circulation.

Tension in the Jaw, Forehead, or Temples

Releases chronic tension in facial muscles, improving comfort and reducing associated lines.

How Facial Acupuncture Works — From the Inside Out

Facial acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing and regeneration processes.

By gently inserting ultra-fine needles into specific facial and body points, we increase blood flow, improve lymphatic drainage, and encourage the production of collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Commonly Asked Questions about our Acupuncture Treatment

Does facial acupuncture really work for wrinkles and skin tone?

Yes — facial acupuncture has been shown to improve skin tone, reduce fine lines, and increase circulation.

By stimulating key points on the face and body, it promotes collagen production and muscle relaxation, helping to soften wrinkles and enhance skin texture naturally.

At Interactive Therapies, we personalise each session to address your unique skin goals for visible, lasting results.

Is facial acupuncture painful?

Facial acupuncture is generally very gentle. Most clients report feeling a light prick or slight tingling as the needles are inserted.

The needles used are ultra-fine and designed specifically for facial treatments. Many clients actually find the sessions relaxing and even fall asleep during the treatment.

How many facial acupuncture sessions will I need?

Visible improvements often begin after just a few sessions, but long-term benefits typically require a course of 6–10 treatments.

Results build over time, as the skin’s natural regeneration and collagen responses are activated. During your initial consultation at Interactive Therapies, we’ll tailor a plan based on your goals, skin condition, and lifestyle.

Can facial acupuncture help with puffiness or jaw tension?

Yes — facial acupuncture can significantly reduce puffiness by improving lymphatic drainage and circulation. It’s also highly effective for relieving jaw tension, forehead strain, and muscle tightness.

We often see positive changes in facial tension, which in turn can reduce the appearance of stress-related lines.

Is facial acupuncture safe? Are there any side effects?

Facial acupuncture is considered a very safe treatment when performed by trained professionals.

At Interactive Therapies, our experienced practitioners use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict hygiene protocols. Side effects are rare and mild — occasionally including minor redness or slight bruising that resolves quickly. Most clients leave feeling refreshed and glowing.
