How does Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Work?


Facial rejuvenation is a full-body, anti-aging acupuncture treatment based upon the wisdom of Chinese medicine and modern science, that helps:

  • Soften fine lines and diminish deep wrinkles

  • Enhance facial muscle tone

  • Firm neck and chin

  • Help lift the eyelids and firm skin around the eyes

  • Brighten eyes, dark circles, or under-eye bags

  • Increase lymphatic drainage in the face

  • Reduce stress, balance hormones, and improve digestion


The style of facial rejuvenation acupuncture practiced at Flourish + Glow is Mei Zen, a set protocol created by Dr. Martha Lucas. Dr. Maggie Spresser was trained directly under Dr. Lucas in Denver, Colorado.


How Does Mei Zen Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Work?


In a world where there are a million beauty products and procedures on the market, it can be confusing picking options to help you look and feel your best. While some solutions are more subtle than others, more people are leaning towards natural pick-me-ups rather than traditional Botox. Mei Zen facial rejuvenation acupuncture is an efficient way to use your own body's resources to look refreshed and younger!

Mei Zen is a special type of acupuncture protocol where around 80 needles are inserted into the face in a specific pattern. The micro-traumas from the needles encourage the body to fill in fine lines with elastin and collagen and lift the jawline, cheek, and forehead. A smoother, more even tone is achieved because as blood circulates to the face, discoloration diminishes. Skin looks more supple, healthy, and glowing all due to the body's own collagen production. While Mei Zen will never look like Botox because nothing is injected under the skin's surface, noticeable results are achieved after the full series of treatments including fewer crow's feet, lines in the forehead, a more lifted jawline, and a smoother neck. This protocol helps drain lymph which decreases bags and dark circles under eyes and puffiness in the face. Patient's often report that people ask them what they have been doing differently with their skincare or if they just got back from vacation.


Needles are also inserted into the body to balance hormones, digestion, and immunity. From a traditional Chinese approach, it is believed you must heal from the inside to glow from the outside. As we now know from research, the skin is a direct reflection of gut health and immune function so targeting these areas addresses root cause healing. Many patients report glowing skin but also better sleep, improved digestion, more energy, and less stress since the whole body is included in a facial rejuvenation session.


Facial rejuvenation is a set protocol consisting of 2 appointments per week for 5 weeks totaling 10 treatments. This gives the skin time to heal and generate collagen/elastin. Once the 10 treatments are complete, maintenance treatments are done once a month to keep the results long lasting... 3-5 years! Patients can pay $170 per session, or $1450 for a package of 10 which locks in their maintenance visit price at $145 indefinitely.


Wanting to look a little brighter, fresher, and more revitalized? Is a big event like a wedding or class reunion coming up? Schedule Mei Zen facial rejuvenation acupuncture appointment and watch your skin and body transform.
