Acupuncture that focuses on the face is not separate from that which addresses the well-being of the body. If one examines the meridians, it can be observed that all Yang channels pass through the head. It therefore makes sense that facial rejuvenation acupuncture does benefit the entire system.
​
This protocol combines treatment for your internal and external body, addressing overall health, while promoting longevity, a vibrant appearance and the increased sense of well-being associated with an acupuncture treatment.
​
Acupuncture makes the face look firmer and appear more youthful and lifted by:
​
improving the lymph & blood flow
stimulating collagen and elastin production
tightening sagging skin
toning facial muscles
​
Root Acupuncture is based right in the heart of South Beach, just blocks from Lincoln Road or Collins Avenue so whether you've lived here for years or you're only in Miami Beach for the season, world-class facial rejuvenation acupuncture is never more than a few minutes away. No traffic across the causeway required.

​
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​
Does facial acupuncture hurt?
Most people are surprised by how relaxing it actually is. The needles used are hair-thin, nothing like an injection, and most patients relax or doze off during treatment.
​
How many sessions will I need, and how long do results last?
A full course is typically 10-12 sessions, once or twice a week. In a 1996 clinical study, 90% of patients saw marked effects after one full course. Unlike Botox, there's no "wearing off" cliff; results build gradually and tend to hold with periodic maintenance sessions.
​
Is it safe if I've had Botox or filler before?
Yes - many patients combine the two, or transition to acupuncture as a more natural maintenance option between or instead of injectables. Mention your history when you book so we can tailor your plan. But you should not have facial acupuncture within 2-4 weeks of Botox or filler.
​
What should I expect afterward? Any downtime?
None. You can go straight back to your day - work, dinner, the beach.
​
How much does it cost?
For first time patients, it's $240 for 1 hour 35 min. Followup sessions are $215 for 1 hour 20 min. Ask about series pricing when you book if you're planning the full 10-12 session course.
