Because real healing starts from within.
Starting at $75 (includes LED Light Therapy)
Acne isn’t just skin-deep- and your treatment shouldn’t be either.
At The AcuBar, we use cosmetic and internal acupuncture to address the root causes of acne- from hormonal imbalances and inflammation to digestion and stress- while promoting clearer, calmer, and more resilient skin over time.
This is skincare that works with your body’s healing intelligence, not against it.
Why Choose Acupuncture for Acne?
Unlike surface-only treatments, acupuncture restores balance to the systems that influence your skin. Each session helps:
- Regulate hormones and reduce breakouts
- Calm inflammation and redness
- Improve circulation for faster skin recovery
- Support gut and liver detoxification
- Reduce stress (a major acne trigger)
Many clients begin to notice changes in texture, tone, and frequency of breakouts within a few weeks, with continued improvement as balance is restored from within.
What to Expect
Each acne acupuncture session begins with a detailed consultation to uncover your unique skin pattern, from hormonal acne to stress-induced flare-ups.
Your treatment may include:
- Facial acupuncture points to target inflammation and circulation
- Body acupuncture to regulate internal imbalances
- LED light therapy to enhance healing and lymphatic flow
You’ll leave with not just a glow, but a sense of calm and connection to your body’s natural rhythm.
Enhance Your Results

- Microneedling for Scarring: smooths texture and refines skin tone post-acne

Acupuncture for Acne FAQ
What is Acupuncture for Acne?
Acupuncture for acne is a holistic treatment that uses fine needles on the face to balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support healthy skin function.
It works on the root causes of acne rather than just treating surface blemishes.
How does it work?
Acupuncture helps acne by:
- Regulating hormones and reducing excess oil production
- Reducing inflammation and calming immune responses
- Improving circulation to bring nutrients and oxygen to the skin
- Supporting digestion and liver function, which can influence skin health
- Reducing stress, which often worsens breakouts
What types of acne can it help with?
- Hormonal or adult acne
- Inflammatory acne (red, swollen pimples)
- Mild to moderate cystic acne
- Post-acne pigmentation or scarring (when combined with other treatments)
Does it hurt?
Most clients feel minimal to no discomfort. The needles are very fine, and facial points are typically gentle. Many clients find it relaxing.
Is there any downtime?
How many treatments will I need?
- For noticeable improvement, a series of 6-10 sessions, typically 1-2 times per week, is recommended.
- Ongoing maintenance depends on acne severity and triggers.
Can acupuncture be combined with other acne treatments?
- Topical or oral dermatology treatments
- Herbal medicine
- Facial cupping or gua sha
- Microneedling (for post-acne scarring, after inflammation has calmed)
Your provider will create a plan tailored to your skin and health needs.
When will I see results?
- Some clients notice less redness and inflammation within a few sessions.
- Improved texture, fewer breakouts, and balanced skin usually develop after 6–8 weeks.
Is acupuncture safe for all skin types?
Yes- it’s safe for all skin types and tones, including sensitive or acne-prone skin. Treatments are personalized based on your pattern diagnosis and skin condition.
