How Facial Acupuncture & Facial Rejuvenation Works

Acupuncture on the face, known as facial rejuvenation, works by internally stimulating collagen and elastin production. Both collagen and elastin tighten and plump the skin. These treatments offers benefits such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving complexion, and enhancing skin elasticity.

Treatments involve inserting small gold-plated needles into and around fine lines on the face to increase blood flow to the skin, soften lines, relax the open area of the forehead, and address fine lines above and around the eyes.

The increased blood flow improves skin health and enhances your skin's appearance, reducing puffiness and minimizing the signs of aging.

Common Questions

About Facial Acupuncture & Facial Rejuvenation

How long does it take to see results?

Everyone is different. Enhancing the appearance of a tired 35-year-old is easy; as the years go on, it takes more sessions to see results, but your face will be able to express itself with exuberance, and that matters. My older clients report a gentle lift of their face, a huge improvement to their skin tone and coloration, and a reduction of bags under the eyes.  For best results, one can take Chinese herbal medicine to keep the skin supple and nourished from the inside out and come for general acupuncture between Facial Rejuvenation sessions.

What makes your practice unique?

My practice is about creating a sanctuary where women's health is nurtured and elevated to its highest potential. I have been combining Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern wellness techniques for almost 20 years, specializing in acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, and herbal remedies, which has helped hundreds of women achieve vibrant health and natural beauty. This work is about being 100% present. One-on-one, focused attention allows me to understand my patients on a deep level. I only see one patient at a time to reduce every distraction possible to provide the best care. My goal with each treatment is to tailor an approach that suits your current state of being and helps you achieve a state of wellness inside and out.

Do these treatments hurt?

I treat my patients how I would like to be treated, so that means needle insertions are very gentle.  Can it hurt?  Sure, about 1 in 1000 needles I insert are uncomfortable for my clients. That said, there’s a chance of bruising with Facial Rejuvenation treatments. If you are on blood thinners, please contact your doctor before booking a session.

Will I feel okay resuming work after a treatment?

Absolutely.  Please know you may be very relaxed.  Schedule a little downtime after the visit to enjoy this new presence of mind.

What should I wear for a treatment?

Loose-fitting clothing is excellent.

Should I eat anything before a treatment?

Yes, a light snack is ideal.

Where is Dr. Catherine's office?

10 Deblois Street, Newport, RI 02840, off Bellevue in beautiful Newport.

Is there parking?

There is on-street parking; just make sure to read the signage.

What’s your cancellation policy?

For appointments canceled or rescheduled within 24 hours, we charge 50% of the service total.

Is there a waiting area?

My entranceway is quite ample, but there is no waiting room. You’ll want to arrive within 5 minutes or so of your appointment start time, and I'll be ready to greet you.

Do you accept walk-ins?

My practice is by appointment only. This allows me to focus 100% of my energy on one patient at a time without distraction. That said, I often have a waitlist for cancellations. Feel free to text me if the date you are interested in is unavailable.
