Fluid retention, inflammation, or lymph stagnation can cause puffiness around the eyes and face. Treatment promotes healthy lymph flow to reduce swelling and improve facial definition.
Poor blood flow and internal imbalance can contribute to dark circles. Acupuncture increases circulation and supports healthier microcirculation under the eyes.
Stress, hormonal changes, and sluggish circulation can leave the skin looking flat or dry. Treatment nourishes the skin from within, improving brightness and overall tone.
Tight facial muscles can affect expression, symmetry, and jaw comfort. Cosmetic acupuncture relaxes overworked muscles for a softer, more balanced appearance.
