Body & Face Acupuncture is a traditional acupuncture treatment to elevate the health and wellbeing of your body, mind and spirit. It also includes a specialized facial acupuncture portion to elevate the health of your skin reducing the signs of aging and stress from the face. It is the truest form of anti-ageing medicine because it works internally to optimize your health to treat imbalances while simultaneously enhancing the appearance of your skin. This treatment is covered by most extended health plans if you have acupuncture coverage. Check with your provider.
CHINESE MEDICINE FOR YOUR BODY, MIND AND SKIN
Body & Face Acupuncture is both preventative and corrective. Monthly acupunctures sessions works to support optimal functioning of the physical and emotional body while elevating the appearance and health of your skin. Beginning these treatments in in your twenties is a pro-active step towards great health and skin.
It works by using bright light-emitting diodes (originally developed by NASA) that send low-level light energy into the deeper layers of the skin where your collagen, elastin, and other crucial skin health components reside. Red light LED stimulates cellular activity, including the fibroblasts that produce collagen, and provides protection against damage, and helps heal a variety of skin problems. Red LED Light Therapy leads to the production of what is called ATP – which is the energy the cells need to function optimally keeping your skin healthy, and youthful. Essentially your skin needs ATP to slow down ageing. You can also find ATP in our Empowered Collagen Revival Serum along with many other high-quality powerhouse ingredients.
Blue LED light therapy reduces breakouts, inflammation and promotes oxygen in the skin for healing. It target these oil glands (sebaceous glands) making them less active. Blue LED light kills Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes), the bacteria that live below the surface of the skin and is responsible for acne. Great for deep cystic acne that does not respond to topical products. Our Forever Clear BBL Acne Treatment is also a great more advanced option for deep cystic acne.

“One reason I never want to move away from Vancouver? … THE SKN CLINIC!!! This place is really too awesome for words. My whole experience with skn clinic has been 10 out of 10. I have done the skin needling, cosmetic acupuncture and the double infusion lightening medi-facial.. and they were worth every cent 🙂 The beautiful staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do! I’m seeing great results with my acne-scarred skin and I will definitely keep coming back for more amazing treatments.”

“After years of doing everything under the sun to damage my skin, I am back on track to a healthy face with the help of the girls at the SKN clinic. Founder & Head Practitioner Amanda Beisel and her team are well educated about the “ins and outs” of your skin.
I recently tried “Cosmetic Acupuncture”, which is a holistic anti-aging treatment that helps rejuvenate your entire body. It is performed on the face and the treatment works to improve blood and energy circulation to nourish and hydrate your skin. The specific placement of the needles also activate positive micro-trauma which increases the production of collagen resulting in a brighter and healthier skin.”
– Sunny S.
