TCM consultation and facial acupuncture at a licensed Shanghai clinic

What brought them to us

D. had recently become interested in Chinese medicine and was curious whether it could refresh her appearance without surgery or injections. Facial acupuncture is having a moment in beauty circles, but its roots run deep in traditional practice — and she wanted to try it where that tradition is lived.

What we arranged

We arranged a session at a licensed clinic in Shanghai. It began with a TCM consultation, followed by facial meridian massage, then body and facial acupuncture with very fine needles, finishing with gentle electroacupuncture. The physician talked her through each stage, reading her face and explaining the points chosen.

What happened

After around half an hour, D. described feeling deeply relaxed, and noticed a more defined jawline and facial contour. As she put it afterwards, her face had simply let go — brighter and more awake.

In their words

I feel really relaxed, and I can definitely see a difference in my jawline. The outline of my face looks more defined.
