WELLNESS CLINIC
Cosmetic & Anti-Aging
A natural, non-invasive treatment that combines facial acupuncture, infrared red light, body acupuncture, and other holistic therapies to improve skin tone, elasticity, reduce fine lines, and support muscle lifting. This integrative approach enhances your complexion while balancing the body from within—backed by studies showing effective, visible results.
At One Med, we don’t just use traditional acupuncture points on the face for cosmetic facial treatments. We also work on facial muscles and body acupuncture to achieve faster and more effective visual lifting results compared to traditional facial acupuncture sessions alone.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Botox Patients:
If you have recently received Botox injections, please inform your practitioner. It is generally recommended to wait at least 2 weeks after Botox treatment before undergoing facial acupuncture to avoid interference with the effects. If you plan to get Botox, schedule your acupuncture treatments accordingly and notify the clinic so we can adjust your care plan. -
Minor Bruising:
Facial acupuncture treatments that focus on muscle lifting may more likely to cause small, minor bruises in some areas. These bruises can be either noticeable or barely visible and typically resolve within a few days. Our surgical-grade needles are designed to minimize tissue damage, but some bruising is a normal part of working with muscle tissue. -
Previous Facial Surgery:
Please inform your practitioner if you have had any facial surgery or cosmetic procedures in the past. Depending on the type and timing of surgery, certain acupuncture points or techniques may be modified or avoided to ensure your safety and optimal results. -
Aftercare Recommendations:
To support healing and maximize treatment benefits, avoid overstimulating your face on the day of your facial acupuncture session. This includes refraining from facial massage, gua sha, cupping, or any other intense skin treatments. If you wish to perform these therapies, please schedule them on a different day than your acupuncture appointment.

Comprehensive Health
History Review
A detailed intake that includes your medical history, current symptoms, medications, allergies, surgeries, and other relevant background information. This helps us understand your overall health and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Physical Exam
We perform a basic physical exam which typically includes blood pressure, heart rate, height, and weight. Additional evaluations may include heart and lung auscultation, neurological assessments, and orthopedic exams as needed. The examination also incorporates Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostics such as pulse and tongue observation. Please avoid brushing your tongue or consuming foods or drinks that may stain it (such as coffee, blueberries, or colored candies) prior to your appointment, to ensure an accurate assessment.
Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture
Our facial acupuncture treatments use the highest-grade, single-use acupuncture needles made from surgical-grade stainless steel, designed to meet strict medical standards for safety, minimal discomfort, and protection of muscle tissue. While facial skin can be more sensitive, our licensed doctor is specially trained in a painless insertion technique to ensure a comfortable experience. Depending on your personalized treatment plan, 50 to 100 ultra-thin needles may be used in each session.
​
We offer three targeted approaches. The first is rejuvenation, which enhances blood flow and nutrient delivery to improve skin tone and overall complexion. The second focuses on facial and neck muscle lifting, promoting firmness by targeting muscle structure; this approach may result in minor, short-term bruising due to deeper needling. The third targets wrinkle and collagen stimulation, supporting the softening of fine lines and encouraging natural collagen production for smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
For optimal results, we recommend a course of 10 sessions over 5 weeks, starting with more frequent treatments and gradually reducing to maintenance sessions once a week or every two weeks.
Body Acupuncture
We also incorporate body acupuncture during Cosmetic & Anti-Aging treatments to support overall wellness and enhance facial results. Body points are selected to promote blood and nutrient flow to the face, relax muscle tension, and balance the body’s internal systems, which can contribute to anti-aging effects. Based on individual assessments and patient needs, body acupuncture may be included or substituted with moxibustion, a warming therapy used to nourish and strengthen the body. Each treatment is customized to provide the most effective support for your skin and overall health.
Standard Ear Seeding (Auriculotherapy)
Auriculotherapy involves stimulating specific points on the ear that correspond to different organs and systems in the body. We use natural Vacaria seeds, which are energetically neutral in Traditional Chinese Medicine terms. These seeds are adhered to the ear using small adhesive patches to provide gentle pressure without any puncturing. The seeds are typically retained on the ear for three to four days, and up to seven days before removal. This therapy is painless and supported by a growing body of research for various conditions.
Metal Ear Seeding (Auriculotherapy)
This is a variation of standard ear seeding, using 24k gold-plated or silver-plated seeds based on your energetic needs. Gold seeds are used for their warming and energizing properties, while silver seeds are more cooling and sedating. The seeds are applied with adhesive and do not puncture the skin. They are retained on the ear for three to seven days and are completely pain-free.
Vacuum Cupping
Vacuum cupping is a traditional therapy that uses disposable plastic cups and a hand-held pump to create gentle suction on the skin. This non-invasive technique promotes circulation, releases muscle tension, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. It is commonly used for conditions such as muscle stiffness, back or neck pain, respiratory imbalances, and digestive concerns. The treatment does not puncture or break the skin, making it a safe and accessible option for many individuals. After treatment, it is normal for temporary circular marks to appear on the skin. These are not painful and usually fade within a few days.
Infrared Red Light Mask Therapy
Infrared Red Light Mask Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses red and near-infrared wavelengths to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and enhance skin healing. In our clinic, this therapy is used in combination with facial acupuncture to amplify anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating effects. The light penetrates deep into the skin to support cellular repair, improve circulation, and boost the natural regenerative processes stimulated by acupuncture. The LED mask is applied after needle insertion, allowing both therapies to work synergistically. This treatment is painless, calming, and requires no downtime, making it an excellent complement to your cosmetic acupuncture session.
Infrared Red Light Therapy
This heat lamp therapy is often used during acupuncture needle retention to enhance treatment outcomes. It delivers gentle infrared warmth to the body, helping to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and promote relaxation. The therapy is comfortable, soothing, and non-invasive.
Moxibustion (Smokeless Only)
Moxibustion is a heat therapy applied to acupuncture points using a smokeless moxa stick. It is especially beneficial for patients with low energy, chronic fatigue, or cold-related conditions. The therapy helps warm the body, boost circulation, and enhance immune function. Patients typically feel a comforting warmth without any pain or burning.
Standard Herbal Prescription
Based on your pulse, tongue, and overall assessment, your practitioner may prescribe a professional-grade herbal formula from a highly trusted and credentialed supplier in the herbal medicine industry. These formulas are designed to address your specific condition and are available in either pill or powder form. You may choose to have the prescription delivered to your home or pick it up from the clinic.
Custom Herbal Prescription
For complex cases or specific individual needs, the practitioner may create a fully customized herbal formula tailored to your weekly progress and body constitution. Dosages and ingredients are personalized based on your evolving condition. This option is highly recommended for chronic or complicated health concerns.
Lifestyle and Nutritional Advice
You may receive tailored advice on diet, lifestyle habits, stress management, and other supportive strategies to enhance your healing process. These recommendations are aligned with Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and your individual health goals.
