Our Facial Wellness Approach

Each session can include facial acupuncture and selected supportive techniques based on your comfort level, skin concerns, and assessment.
Cosmetic Acupuncture and Traditional Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture and general acupuncture are related, but they are not the same appointment focus.
Acupuncture in Mississauga may be used for broader wellness goals such as pain, stress, sleep, tension, or digestive discomfort support.
Cosmetic acupuncture focuses more specifically on facial wellness, skin appearance goals, relaxation, and non-injectable aesthetic support.
Some patients may benefit from general acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture, or both, depending on their goals and assessment. Your practitioner can help explain which option is more suitable.

What Patients Say About Innova
Read what patients have shared about their experience at Innova Integrated Wellness Centre.
Dr. Lisa is the most caring and understanding medical practitioner I’ve ever met. She really takes the time to listen to you and get to the source of your pain/problem, and then gives practical solutions towards recovery. I had a very severe case of sciatica after falling down the stairs, and no medication or physiotherapy was helping me recover until I saw Dr. Lisa and she suggested to try acupuncture since nothing else worked. One year later, I’m 98% recovered from any pain in my back and feel more free. Truly one of the best wellness centres in the GTA, without a doubt.

DAVID L.
After months of chronic back pain, I finally found relief at INNOVA. The team’s expertise and personalized approach made all the difference!
SARAH M.
I started seeing Dr Lisa late in 2022 for treatment of a severe TMJ. I could barely open my jaw and there was significant clicking. Dr Lisa did chiro on my jaw and within weeks her magic fingers restored the range of motion in my jaw. Dr Lisa continued to treat me but also included acupuncture to my treatment plan. As an added bonus my face got contouring as well. I continue to see Dr Lisa to maintain my restored range of motion. Every member of my family has received treatment at Innova for chiropractic, acupuncture, orthopedics, osteo or light therapy. I encourage anyone in pain to try out the services offered at Innova. Dr Lisa is excellent and highly skilled. Thank-you for all that you do.

Questions About Cosmetic Acupuncture
Is cosmetic acupuncture painful?
Cosmetic acupuncture is usually described as gentle, although sensitivity varies by patient. The needles are very fine, and some people feel a small pinch, tingling, pressure, or warmth. Treatment should not feel sharp or intolerable. Tell your practitioner if you feel uncomfortable during the session.
How deep are the needles inserted?
Needle depth depends on the treatment area, technique, patient comfort, and practitioner assessment. Cosmetic acupuncture generally uses fine needles placed carefully at selected facial and body points. Your practitioner should explain what to expect before treatment begins.
Does cosmetic acupuncture really work?
Cosmetic acupuncture may support facial wellness, relaxation, and skin appearance goals for some patients, but results vary. It should not be described as a guaranteed wrinkle treatment, facelift, collagen treatment, acne cure, or Botox replacement. Your practitioner can explain realistic expectations after consultation.
How is cosmetic acupuncture different from Botox?
Botox is an injectable treatment that temporarily reduces muscle activity in selected areas. Cosmetic acupuncture uses fine acupuncture needles and does not work the same way. It should not be presented as equal to or better than Botox. It is a gradual, non-injectable facial wellness option.
What is cosmetic acupuncture good for?
Cosmetic acupuncture may be considered by patients looking for non-injectable facial wellness support, relaxation, facial tension support, and skin appearance goals. It may fit into a broader wellness or skin-care routine, but it does not replace dermatology care, medical aesthetics, or medical treatment when those are needed.
How many cosmetic acupuncture treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your goals, skin concerns, health history, response to care, and treatment plan. No exact number should be guaranteed. Your practitioner can discuss a realistic plan after assessing your goals and suitability for cosmetic acupuncture.
Do I need maintenance appointments?
Some patients choose maintenance appointments after an initial series, but this depends on goals, budget, response to care, and practitioner recommendations. Maintenance should be optional and based on realistic expectations, not presented as required for guaranteed results.
Are there side effects of cosmetic acupuncture?
Temporary redness, minor soreness, small bruising, light bleeding, or tenderness can occur. Some patients may feel relaxed or slightly lightheaded. Tell your practitioner if you take blood thinners, bruise easily, have active skin concerns, or recently had facial injections or procedures.
Are there any contraindications to cosmetic acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture may not be appropriate for patients with active skin infections, open wounds, certain bleeding disorders, uncontrolled medical concerns, or recent facial procedures. Pregnancy, blood thinners, and a history of fainting with needles should be discussed before treatment.
What is the difference between cosmetic acupuncture and traditional acupuncture?
Cosmetic acupuncture and traditional acupuncture are related, but they have different appointment focuses. Traditional acupuncture may support broader wellness goals such as pain, stress, sleep, tension, or digestive discomfort. Cosmetic acupuncture focuses more specifically on facial wellness, skin appearance goals, relaxation, and non-injectable aesthetic support.
How can I verify an acupuncturist in Ontario?
Acupuncturists in Ontario are regulated by the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario, also known as CTCMPAO. Patients can verify whether an acupuncturist is registered by searching the CTCMPAO public register.

FAQs
Q: Are Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments painful?
Cosmetic acupuncture uses thinner and shorter needles than body acupuncture. In addition, numbing gel is commonly used with facial rejuvenation acupuncture in sensitive areas to help minimize any discomfort.
Q: How deep are the needles inserted?
Cosmetic acupuncture usually involves insertion just under the skin for many points such as wrinkles. Other points may be inserted further based on the area. Each acupuncture point used has a recommended insertion level to ensure safe application.
Q: Does Cosmetic Acupuncture really work?
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture works by increasing the qi and blood flow in your body, and stimulating the muscles beneath your face to improve their tone as well as stimulating collagen production. The result is improved skin elasticity, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, improved facial symmetry and overall improved skin health giving you a healthy glow.
Q: How is facial acupuncture different from Botox?
Botox is an injectable treatment that temporarily reduces muscle activity in selected areas. Cosmetic acupuncture uses fine acupuncture needles and does not work the same way. It should not be presented as equal to or better than Botox. It is a gradual, non-injectable facial wellness option.
Q: What is a Facial Acupuncture good for?
Cosmetic acupuncture is good for people who want to look their best without the use of drastic procedures such as a face lift. Facial acupuncture offers a wide range of benefits, including a reduction in acne, blemishes, wrinkles and fine lines, as well as an improvement in overall skin texture. If you’re looking for a non-invasive but powerful anti-aging treatment with minimal side effects, facial acupuncture may be your answer.
Q: How often do I need to get treatment?
For best results, 2 treatments a week for 5 weeks are recommended and one treatment weekly thereafter for the treatment time period.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
Treatment courses vary from 6-12 appointments. Younger and healthy people see results more quickly because their skin heals faster.
Q: Do I need any maintenance?
After your initial treatment plan, maintenance facials are recommended every 4-6 weeks.
Q: Do Cosmetic Acupuncture needles contain anything?
The needles are surgical steel and do not contain any medication.
Q: Are there any side effects of cosmetic acupuncture?
Any time needles are used, there is the risk of bruising. All precautions are taken in order to prevent bruising in treatment.
Q: Are they any contraindictaions to cosmetic acupuncture?
People taking blood thinners, have severe anemia or are prone to bruising, suffer from seizures, are pregnant or have had other facial procedures such as fillers or Botox within 3 months are not good candidates for cosmetic acupuncture.
