Choosing the right approach for your skin and balance

Acupuncture for the face is often spoken of in one breath, yet not all approaches are the same.
Understanding the distinctions can help you choose a treatment that feels aligned with your needs — whether your priority is rejuvenation, inner balance, or both.

What is facial acupuncture?

Facial acupuncture is the foundation for most practitioners.
It uses ultra-fine needles placed on the face to support skin health while also working with the body’s internal systems, restoring balance and harmony from within. It is a deeply restorative treatment, often chosen for its calming effects and gentle support for skin vitality.

What is cosmetic and aesthetic acupuncture?

It draws on advanced, results-driven techniques, focusing on visible yet natural improvements — softening fine lines, refining facial contours, and restoring a sense of balance and symmetry to the features. At Kallos, this approach is complemented by cosmeceutical support to enhance the skin’s texture and resilience, creating a refined, harmonious appearance.

Where auricular acupuncture fits

To complement the facial and cosmetic work, auricular acupuncture is integrated into treatments. This is a microsystem — the entire body reflected in the ear — allowing for targeted support with stress relief, hormonal balance, sleep, digestion, and energy.
By treating the whole system, the results extend beyond the mirror, leaving clients feeling lighter, calmer, and more aligned.

Why the difference matters

Every treatment at Kallos is designed to go beyond refreshing the skin.
It nurtures the body’s natural systems, helping you feel as renewed as you look.
The result is a ritual of care — restorative and refined — with changes that appear soft, natural, and enduring.
