Cosmetic Acupuncture & Microneedling - Johnston Family Acupuncture

Microneedling & Cosmetic Acupuncture can help you feel more confident as you age naturally.

Microneedling is used to treatment an area of your skin (most typically the face), where you would like to decrease fine lines, age spots and plump up the tissue. This treatment can be done every 4 weeks, so to see faster progress, many use weekly cosmetic acupuncture treatments to support their Microneedling improvements.

We at Johnston Family Acupuncture want to help you better manage your natural skin care so you can focus on what’s really important. We’re licensed by the state of Massachusetts to practice Microneedling and Cosmetic Acupuncture in Boston.

  • A Microneedling tool is used to stimulate the collagen and healing processes in your skin. While the skin begins to heal, hylauronic acid and a customized Chinese Herbal serum is massaged into your skin to decrease fine lines, age spots and blemishes. Cosmetic acupuncture is then used to focus on deeper wrinkles in the subsequent 3 weeks to promote faster healing.

  • Besides the relaxing and calming effects of an acupuncture session, acupuncture causes your body to release endorphins and improve blood flow. This in turn can help other issues caused by anxiety such as indigestion, headaches and insomnia.

  • Generally speaking, acupuncture is safe regardless of your medical history or current medications. You may experience redness or a dry sensation on your skin up to 24 hours after treatment, but many don't even feel it! In addition, this is the safest possible way to work on your skin — no Botox or surgery needed!

    To find out if Microneedling and Cosmetic Acupuncture in Boston is right for you, call us at 617-602-3868 to schedule a treatment.

  • Not long at all! Most patients will experience improvements after their first session, and will continue to improve while treatment continues. With a combination of 10 Microneedling treatments plus Cosmetic Acupuncture between each treatment will last 3-5 years.

What People Say

Testimonials
Irene is amazing, I felt great after leaving my two sessions with her and plan to book many more!

She caters her technique to your individual needs and makes you feel calm and relaxed the entire time.

I tried acupuncture for a variety of reasons and I have experienced more health improvements since starting than I have through any other specialty (PCP, physical therapist, etc.).

Whether you have an ailment, chronic pain or are simply trying to maintain your health, I suggest trying Johnston Family Acupuncture — you won't be disappointed.

Emily is great! She is very receptive to your needs and actually listens to you when you talk about how your body is feeling!

She then builds a plan with you about how to help. I came in to see Emily about chronic back pain and can honestly say I’ve seen improvements over the past two months. Her office is super easy to get to and very relaxing.

Courtney Lennon has been my acupuncturist for a few months now. I'm so happy that I found her.

My pain has decreased as she incorporates different types of treatment. The office is spacious and receives a lot of sunlight. The treatment rooms make me feel like I'm in my own cocoon. The office staff is excellent, and their online booking tool allows you to schedule and cancel appointments.

Irene at Johnston Family Acupuncture is knowledgeable, intuitive, compassionate and a gifted healer.

The experience was fantastic and I look forward to returning for more!

As a person who fears needles I thought doing acupuncture would be off putting. Instead I find myself very pleased with this alternative option to treat my painfully arthritic knees.

Emily is a gem, she does a full body treatment that really makes me feel like the treatment is well worth the time and effort.

I love acupuncture so much. It has lowered my stress level and helped me with issues I didn't realize could be helped with acupuncture.

The space is beautiful and Emily & Irene are kind and inquisitive.

  • We recommend that you wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing during your Microneedling or Cosmetic Acupuncture session. This serves to promote relaxation and allows us to access crucial acupuncture points more easily.

  • Your first treatment, you should expect to talk in depth about your entire health history. Then a physical exam will be performed by checking your tongue, pulse, and abdomen. Following the diagnosis, we will prescribe and administer the treatment protocol that will work best for you.

    The first half of the treatment we will focus on your face; Microneedling, massaging the herbs, gua sha/cupping, and then a facemask. Next, needles are inserted in the rest of your body, followed by calming music, dim lights and a heat lamp to keep you relaxed as you rest for about 30 minutes. At then end of the treatment, depending on your issues we might use other techniques such as cupping, moxa or nutritional guidelines to help on your pathway to wellness.

  • We recommend seeing us each week. We will start with Microneedling, followed by 3 Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments. As that patern continues, you will see the dramatic changes week by week.
