Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture at Qi Society is a natural, non-invasive facelift alternative to injectables and surgical procedures. What sets Dr. Alexia's approach apart is that every cosmetic session is still a whole body treatment. She takes the time to identify and address the underlying imbalances and patterns showing up in your skin, regulate the nervous system, and then focus on your specific cosmetic goals.
That's why our patients often notice more than smoother skin. They sleep better, feel calmer, and see their internal health improve alongside their appearance. Your face is the mirror of your internal health, which is why our cosmetic results tend to last longer than surface level treatments.
Cosmetic acupuncture supports facial rejuvenation, wrinkles and fine lines, skin elasticity, jowls and sagging, under eye concerns, facial puffiness, jaw tension, hyperpigmentation, hormonal acne, rosacea, and acne scarring.

Don't see your condition listed?
People are far more complex and nuanced than any list can capture, and no two patients present the same way. This is, after all, just a list. If your concern isn't named above, there's still a good chance acupuncture can help. The best way to know is to try and see how your body responds to the low risk intervention of acupuncture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how gentle it actually is. Acupuncture needles are hair thin, nothing like the needles used for injections or blood draws, and many patients don't even feel them going in. Dr. Alexia is trained in extra gentle techniques for anyone who's needle nervous.
How many sessions before I feel a difference?
It depends on what you're working through. Acute issues often respond within four to eight sessions. Chronic conditions typically need eight to twelve sessions to create lasting change. Dr. Alexia will build a treatment plan tailored to your goals during your first visit.
Do you accept insurance?
Qi Society is a cash pay clinic. We provide detailed superbills for patients with out of network benefits to submit for reimbursement, and we accept HSA and FSA payment. Our membership and package options are designed to make consistent care more affordable than most insurance copays.
What makes Qi Society different?
