Facial Acupuncture
The 100% natural lift — without altering facial expression
The Technique
The “Magic” of Facial Acupuncture
By combining the millennia-old wisdom of Chinese Medicine with the latest discoveries in natural cosmetology, facial acupuncture delivers remarkable results. In addition to softening wrinkles and expression lines, it stimulates the production of elastin and collagen — the key elements for youthful, firm skin.
Through the strategic insertion of fine needles, facial acupuncture promotes blood circulation and stimulates cell renewal, resulting in hydrated, radiant skin with a smooth texture. It is no surprise that celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Celine Dion, Gwen Stefani, Madonna, Meghan Markle, Julianne Moore and Prince William have turned to this innovative approach to achieve a rejuvenated and flawless appearance.

Mechanism
How Does Facial Acupuncture Work?
This natural, non-invasive practice is effective in slowing skin ageing and toning facial muscles. The goal is to work from the inside out — in addition to needles on the face, needles are also placed at other key points on the body.
01
Personalised Diagnosis
We assess not only the skin and facial muscles, but also general health. “The exterior reveals internal imbalances” — Dr. Fernando Fernandes.
02
Facial Muscle Balance
The needles relax tense muscles — responsible for expression lines — and tone those that have become lax, counteracting the “gravity effect” caused by collagen loss.
03
Endogenous Collagen
The method can be combined with laser and/or electrostimulation to promote natural collagen production and blood circulation — without chemical substances.
Therapeutic Range
Complementary Techniques
At Five Clinic, facial acupuncture can be combined with other techniques that enhance results and accelerate the natural rejuvenation process:
01
Laser Acupuncture
Deep, painless stimulation of acupuncture points via laser, promoting cell regeneration and collagen production.
02
Electrostimulation
Micro-electrical currents that enhance muscle toning and stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation.
03
Facial Gua Sha
Stone massage that promotes lymphatic drainage, reduces muscle tension and improves facial contour.
04
Facial Cupping
Gentle application of cups to the face to stimulate circulation, oxygenate tissues and promote natural luminosity.
05
Facial Massage
Therapeutic techniques that relax facial muscles, improve circulation and enhance nutrient absorption.

Indications
Who Is It Suitable For?
Facial acupuncture can be used preventively (before the first signs of ageing appear) or correctivelly (when wrinkles, sagging or other visible signs already exist).
Since this method also has a positive impact on the body as a whole, there is no age limit. Facial acupuncture is not exclusive to any gender — it can also be performed for men.
“It is the body itself that regenerates. We give it a helping hand, but the work is done by the organism. It is a 100% natural method.” — Dr. Fernando Fernandes
