Facial acupuncture and gua sha in Summerville, South Carolina
Facial acupuncture and gua sha, explained plainly
A licensed acupuncturist and a licensed esthetician in downtown Summerville, a short drive from Charleston. Come curious: before anything begins, we tell you what a session is, and what it is not.
Before you book
What facial acupuncture is, and what it is not
It is acupuncture with extra attention to the face, neck and hands. Here is the plain version, so you can decide for yourself.
It is not a facelift, a filler or a skin treatment, and it is not a replacement for a dermatologist's care. We make no promises about how your skin will look or feel afterward, and results vary from person to person.
What it is
Fine, single-use needles at points on your face, neck, hands and feet
A talk first about your routine, your sleep and what you hope for
About an hour lying down, with a blanket if you like
A plan for later visits that you are free to change or decline

What happens in the hour
A conversation, a treatment and a plan
Nothing begins until you have heard what we plan and said yes.
- 01
A conversation first
We ask about your skin routine, your sleep and what you are hoping for, and we tell you what we plan before we begin.
- 02
The treatment
Fine needles at a few points on the face, neck, hands and feet, with gentle gua sha or facial massage if you want it. You can pause or stop at any time.
- 03
A plan you can change
We suggest a rhythm of visits, never a package you must buy. You decide after the first visit whether to come back.
